From the quiet, book-lincd, thick

on the relation of religion to politics

Marshall's "open letters" to Smith

head of the Mexican Catholic hier-
archy, and five other prclates today
were on their way to Laredo. Texas,
having been expelled. Their depor-

functioning supreme body in the
country for the first time.
While the government issued no
official statement, announcement Of
the sending Of the prclates out Of
the country was made at the arch
bishops residence here.
The governments drastic action
had as its origin the recent burning
Of passenger train in the state Of
Jalisco with consequent loss Of
many lives Of passengers and Of
federal soldiers who were acting as
guards.
General Alvarez, chief of staff for
President Gales, in reporting on the
incident. charged that the leaders
Of the outrage included three Cath
Ollie priests and one delegate of the
league for defense Of religious free
dom. He charged also that the Cath
Ollie cpiscOpate was the main cause
for the religious unrest in the
country.
Denies Catholics Attacked Train
Archbishop Ruiz broke his long
silence to reply. He declared If
Catholics participated in the, train
attack the church had no knowledge
of it. He denied vigorously that
the attacking band was organized by
the Catholic cpiscopate and added
that if the governments report Of
the atrocities committed was true,
the outlaws deserve the rcprobation
of the entire world"
Such church dignitaries as remain
in Mexico are in hiding. 1t is be-
