VATICAN SCORES MEXICO.
Encyciical Used a Pretext to Gust
Prelate, 1t Is Said.

IEcidtc, IL Is S1lu.
VATICAN CITY, October S (P.-
The recent encyclical of Pope Piux XII,
the state department at the Vatican
said today, was merely used as a pre-
text by the Mexican government for
the expulsion from the country Of
Archbishop Leopoldo Ruiz y Flores, the
papal delegate.
The Vatican, the department said, re-
ceived a report in August that Mexico
apparently was seeking controversy
with the archbishop and some such
action as expulsion was foreseen.
The events, it was said, were regard
ed as unfortunate but proving that
Mexico is determined on a policy of
violence, since she replied in violent
fashion to the pontiff's counsel Of
moderation" and cooperation.
State department officials said the
Vatican fears certain elements among
the Catholics in Mexico who wish to
oppose force with force may get out of
control of ecclesiastical authorities as
result of the archbishop's expulsion
and that trouble will follow Thus.
they said. the encyclical, which was
promulgated to pacify this element
and to reconcile it at least formally to
the existing situation would be frus-
trated.
They said the Vatican, in accord
with the Pope's policy of peace. does
not intend to submit an official protest
because it does not wish to give the
Mexican government pretext for fur
ther acts of violence

saving of S1,750,0C0 in is annual Office
expenses while the operating companies
of Middle West Utilities had bettered
their cash position by s2,855,000 snd re-
duced their floating Gebts by 4,300, 900.
1t is pointed out by the receivers that
substantial savings can be accomplished
and operations can Ce resumed under

mendous equity in those pledged assets
can be preserved.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, October 5.-The German
government is proceeding very carefully
in connection with Great Britain's pro-
posal for a four-power conference at
London to discuss the German demand
for arms equality.
It was intimated in official quarters
that the cabinet has not yet discussed
the proposal, which, therefore, remains
unanswered.
The government maintains It's stand
that the parley at London. If it takes
place, must make 1t clear whether Ger
many's conditions for further partici-
patton in the World Disarmament Con-
ference are to be accepted by the other
powers.
Germany emphasizes the need for
a definite program for the proposed
London meeting. This country would
not object to participation in that con-
ference by other states in addition to
France. Italy and Great Britain, pro-
vided that their presence would result
in no confusion of the issues under
consideration.
The Berlin government withdrew
from the arms conference in protest
against the continued application OF
treaty restrictions on German arms.
Recent French charges that Ger
many has violated the arms restrictions
of the Versailles treaty will not be an
swered a government spokesman said,
because these charges have not been
brought officially to the attention Of
the Reich.

man asserted, "the talk about secret

Germany is all hypothetical. If
Premier Herriot thinks he has the goods
