 Extended dry weather has had the effect in reducing many grain crops. but higher prices and more satis- factory crops of other kinds will go far toward equalizing the consum- CTS buying power. Demand at pres ent indicates very little slowing up.
 Prices on practically all items are steady, and the credit situation is better than it has been in some time.

MEXICAN ATTACKS
 FOREIGN CAPITAL
Tells Round Table It flinders
 Liberation Of Masses

University, Va, Aug. IA P}- Mexican economic political, socill, and religions conditions were the subjects of discussion today before the round table on "our Latin American relations" at the institute of public affairs.
 Dr. Ernest H. Gruening, former | Mexican correspondent, now editor of the Evening News of Portland, Maine; Frank Tannenbaum, of the Brookings Institute, former Mexican representative of the Institute of | Economies; Dr. Patrick J. Ward, di- rector of publicity of the National Catholic Welfare Council; Carlos E. Castaneda, who is representing tE1 Institute Intcr-AmeriCano of the University of Mexico; and Profea- sor Clarence H. Haring of Harvard university, leader of the round table participated in the round table con- ference.
 In discussing the Mexican. Agar ian revolution. Mir. Tannenbaul1 explained that before the social up- heaval of 1910, which has continued for 1 years, Mexico was essentially feudal country. Formerly the dominant influence was the large 1 plantation but today the domnanc } is tending toward the Indian village. pr, Ward declared the religious settlement in Mexico is "admittently not a final settlement. It is simply an adjustment which makes it pos sible for the bishops of Mexico to return to their native land and to exercise those essential spiritual rights which were taken away from | them by reason of the Mexican gov ernment interpretation of the Mex ican constitution"
 Foreigners Are Obstacles
 "The greatest obstacle in allowing | Mexico to work out it's own saliva ton is the foreign capitalist whc
 holds that his vested rights are above those of the great masses o1 the people," declared Mr Castenada
 "If the world but had confidence in Mexico in this hour of need, a new nation will rise from the smouldering ruins of that glitterine Mexico that crumpled like a heap of cards in 191O," he predicted.

GASTONIA TRIAL IS
 BATTLE OF LABOR
Attorney Sees Difficulty in Get
 ting Impartial Jurors

New York, Aug. 14 (UP)-Trial of Is defendants in the Gastonia, N. C., conspiracy trial will prove or dis prove the right of laborers to or ganizc and to defend their oganiza- tion, according to Dr. John Ran dolph Neal of Nashville, Tenn, leading attorney for the defense who is in New York discussing the case with organizations and at tempting to raise funds to defenl the workers
 Jury May Be Biased
 This case already had aroused the nation to interest in the ques- ton whether the defendants would be able to obtain a fair and inn partial trial. Dr. Neal said today. But the change of venue to Char lottee does not assure that. True, the judge may be fair and impa.- tial, and he nay assist in disqual- flying prejudiced jurors, but the laws of jury service in North Caro- lima allow only land holders to serve, and it I conceded that an unsympathetic press has appealed i to the citizens in such manner that we will find it exceedingly diff | ficult to obtain wholly impartiai i jurors"
 Dr. Neal. veteran crusader for labor legislation and the right of laborers to organize, recalled that it was just four years ago thai he brought Thomas w. Scopes tc | New York to assist him in obtain ing support for his defense in the Tennessee evolution trial. Dr. Neal served as Scopes chief defender.
 The Scopes trial was a fight for | the freedom of teaching and thought" he said, but the trial 0! | the Gastonia textile workers will ns
 See Great Interest In Trial
 The trial is sche edulcd to start ir Charlotte on August 26 will be oi greater interest to the people of th' United States than either the Scopes or Sacco-Vanzetti cases, in pr Ncals estimation.
 The chief reason that importance will be attached to the case lies ir the bill of indictment itself, Dr Neal declares.
 "A man was killed and 16 per sons-13 men and three women - 1 were indicted for the crime" he l explained. but the charge was nol | murder, it was conspiracy to con- init murder.
 Thus does the state of North | Carolina challenge the right of the | textile organization to act. or even to discuss its future actions-foT if it be a conspiracy, to prove it, the state must introduce the very words that came from the leaders of the textile organization prior to the kill ing.
 "The organizations very right to assume it's ilace in the economic 1 life of the country is challenged and it must be defended"
