CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-[P-Peace can
best be maintained and cordial rela-
tions furthered among the nations of
the western hemisphere by a system
of international highways making
these countries more accessible to one
another, Pan-American delegates told
the annual convention of the Ameri-
can Road Builders association here to-
day.
Today was Pan-American day, fea-
tured by a special session at which
delegates from Mexico, Central Amer
ica South America, Cuba, Porto Rico,
Alaska and Canada fraternized with
American road builders.
Several of the speakers declared that
at present strained relations between
some nations of the western hemi-
sphere would not exist today if such
an international highway were in ex-
istence now 81 do not believe that
the present Nicaraguan and Mexican
situations would have arisen If an in
ternationa1 highway were in existence
today" State Senator James H. Mac
Donal dof New Haven, Conn, for
mer president of the association, said.
Senior Dlaz Leal OF the OoinsloH -Nee- -Nee-
cional De Caminos of Mexico expressed
a similar view in presiding at today's
sessions.
"The cordial and sincere admiration
that the Mexican people feel for the
United States has not been affected
by the personal ambitions and selfish
ness that have at times endeavored
to weaken the friendly relations ex-
isting between the two nations he
said.
! eve hope and expect that a proper
and mutual cultivation of our intel
lectual and social relations the preVa-
lent and unfounded opinions OF To-Day

FANNED IN NICARAGUA

MEXICO CITY, Jan. 12,-tH9 9-After
smouldering for six months, the fires
of controversy between the Mexican
government ad the Catholic church are
flaming up in various parts of the re-
public concurrently with the troubled
relations between Mexico and the
United States over the petroleum and
alien land laws and the Nlcaraguan
question.
Long existing economic and business
depression and certain amount Of
general political unrest add potential
fuel to the blaze, which may die down
or be extinguished; Or may spread
into a conflagration.
Catholics in numerous states are,
the Mexican government declares in an.
official stament, in armed revolt and
are fighting under the battle cry Of
Long Live Christ the King"
Other groups, described as bandits,
are burning bridges, attempting to
wreck railroad trains, holding up resi-
dents and tourists alike and looting
small villages. The distinctions be-
tween bandits and fevolutionists is
often merely theoretical in Mexico,
wa rdepartment persists in it's declara-
tion that the federal soldiers are SUI
pressing the disturbances.
The newspaper Excelsior editorially
criticizes President Coolidge's recent
to congress on Nicaragua. It
speaks of "the hypocritical mask Of
puritanical rectitude with which Cool
idge attempts to disguise his policy"
and says even if Mexico has sent arms
to Nicaragua (Which the editorial does
not admit) why would it be wrong
for Mexico to do SO, but all right for
the United States to do SO? s
Does the United States" asks the
paper, claim to be the only country
with the right to assist other coun-
tries?" xA
The newspapers feature extensive
Washington and New York dispatches
giving much greater prominence to
the foreign angles of the Nicaraguan
situation than 10 the disturbances
within Mexico This results in the

phasized that the concern of the United

Central America was not confined to
the situation in Nicaragua.
After a session of the foreign rela-

that it necessitated recess, and after
having heard the secretary's statement,
the only comment by Chairman Borah,
who has take nissue with the govern

been presented with which he was not
already familiar. Senator Shipstead,
farmer-labor, Minnesota, declared he
had heard nothing which in his opln-
ion justified the governments course
in Nicaragua Senator Moses, repub-
lican, New Hampshire, said few mem
bers of the committe had not been i'm

Massachusetts, said it had confirmed

would support President Coolidge's
Nicaraguan policy.
