ALL MEXICO EXPECvANT.
Air of Apprehension Now Pervades
Country.

BY Cable to The, Star and CHICAGO Daily
News. Copyright, 1927.
COLINA, Mexico, January l4.--An
air of apprehension pervades all Next
co today.
Everywhere there is a feeling that
momentous events are brewing the
nature of which no one can foretell.
Revolution over the religious laws is
talked about generally and concern
over the attitude of the United States
is aways present.
Occasionally the traveller is told that
If the signal Is given. the Gales gov
eminent will be overthrown like the
proVerbial house of cards More fire.
quently one hears from the lips of foes
as well as friends of the present re-
gime that it is sufficiently well in
trenched and wei directed to sustain
any assaults that may be made upon
1t.
The writer can say that the country
appears more orderly than it did when
he travelled through it two years ago
1t does not seem necessary now to
have trains guarded by large detach
ments of soldiers in armored car IS
was the case then. The soldiers are
better equipped and look better fed
than they did two years ago.
Army Declared Loyal.
Informants say that the army is
loyal to Gales. If that is the case
then the government is safe, for in
the last analysis the stability of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1927-01-14

Mexican government depends on the
loyalty of the army. Gales also has
the support of the labor movement
which is considered a right arm OF
the government to be used as the
army is used in time of stress.
Even the dissatisfied elements admit
that they have no leaders comparable
to Gales and former President Obre
gon in ability, force and popular
respect.
In some Catholic circles hope is
inned on Adolfo de la Huerta, who Is
reported to be receiving the support
of some American Catholics and who
frequently voices his intention to start
revolt, The best informed students
| of Mexico assure the writer that de la
l1uerta has not been a force in MeXl
can affairs since his unsuccessful
| revolt two years ago, which cost him
prestige and the contldencs of the
moneyed interests. whose support
must be enlisted II n Mexican revolu
ton is to succeed.
There Is. nevertheless. a feeling
that the present sporadic outbreaks
are the start OF real trouble, and that
with the banner OF revolt lifted the
country will be unhappy for at time
no matter what the outct me.
Based on United States Attitude.
Inspiration for the trouble is frank
ly expected to come from the United
States. Some think 1t will be inspired
by the oil companies. Some by the
church. Some that Ii will be the re
suit of the church cooperating with
the oil companies.
In large measure the United States
holds the key to Mexican disorder
Let President Coolidge lift the present
embargo on arms and the lid will be
off. Pressure has been brought to
bear on the President by some of the
elements interested in a change OF
government here.
Recently the policy of permitting
arms to come through to the Mex
lean government, while prohibiting
passage to non-government agencies
has been supplanted by a complete
embargo. The governments request
for permission to bring in 10 air
planes was refused. There have been
hints that the embargo will be lifted
and access accorded to all who desire
arms.
That would mean real trouble. OF
course President Gales and his asso
ciates may find a solution for the
various problems now agitating this
country and the United States and
all the present apprehension may
prove to have been for naught. But
in the meantime all business moves
slowly. No one makes new commit
ments and every one proceeds as

MANILA, January 14.-The Philip

Galindo, who are fighting under the

The offensive will not last long, he
says, as the rebels are armed only

Labor Communism Denied.
Denial that Mexican labor is com
munistic is made by Ricardo Trevino,
secretary general of the Regional Con
federation of Labor. Mexico's domi-
nant labor orga nization, in telegra m
to American Secretary of State Kel-
logg.
Trevino was one of those quoted by
Secretary Kellogg in the latter's state
ment to the American Senate's for
elgn relations committee concerning
Communistic activities in Mexico.
Trevino's telegram says it is strange
that Mr., Kellogg did not include in his
statement any of the resolutions adoDt
ed by Mexican labor conventions or
the Pan-American Federation of La
Dor, with which the regional confedera
ton is affiliated. opposing Communism.
The regional confederation, he asserts,
has always taken a stand against
Bolshevism since it's first convention
in 1919.
Senior Trevino also voices regret that
Mr.. Kellogg, as he alleges, misquotes
him. Secretary Kellogg quoted Ire
vino as declaring in the Mexican
Chamber of Deputies in September.
1925: II cannot say which are the
better elements, whether ours of the
Reds, or those whom the Russian
minister brought. And on this point l
must say that there are documents in
which it Is established that certain
Red and Communist elements receive
money from the said minister and from
the Communists at Moscow in order to
work along Communist lines in MeXi-

by they would provoke an interna-
ton confiict.'0

of State to resolutions of the Third
Internationale in Moscow, which, he
says, were adopted in 1919 and 1921,
