(COpyrigiit, 1035, By UnIted Preas)
 Mcxico City. Jan go. (UP) Tho Mextcan government charged the Catholic clreRy with responsibility for acts of violence that preceded the tightening of anti-religious lines and resulted in the present situation of the church in Mexico.
 Tho clergy as emDhatically denied responsibility but protested that all the catholics were within their rights in defending their citi- zenship and itg concomitant privileges.
 The Catholic church, ecclesiasti- cal said, encouraged no vilence fin the name of the church. However, they said. 1t always urged Catholics as individual citizens to defend their citizenship. They claimed the numerous demonstrations and pro- tests against the governments pole icics could be classified as such de- fcnEe,
 Anti-govcrnment demonstrat tions took various forms. University and preparatory school students were loudest in protest against the soc cialiatic program of education which up to that time had not DetII uCHHtbs ANO OIo bhVW S@oNSI ly what form it would take or what courses its curricula would in- cludc, not even the government, al- though its general intent was uf1i- Versally recognized.
 At the National University, old- est university on the western hemisphere and century older than Harvard, tho entire student body struck. demanding that the government abandon its education- al plan. The same action was taken at the University of the Month fin Monterrey. where riotiDg resulted in the injury of several people.
 The University oG GaudalaJara presented an even more violent picture as authorities broke up a student strike there and impriBon. ed sccores of students in the local penitentiary. Preparatory and Bec- condary school students in Mexico City followed the example of uni- versity boys and also started pro- test strikes. For several days the capital was without schools.
 Other sections of the republic in varying degrees were going through tho same experiences. A woman met death during rioting accompanying a normal school strike. Both government and church charged and counter charged. Bach denied responsible ity.

nAction VS.. piscussion." "


Andred Maurois, writing under
this title in the Sunday magazine of
the New York Herald Tribune, so
precisely described the original i'm
pulse of the National Republican
Builders that we are reprinting his
article and sending it out to our
members. We shall be glad, also,
to send it to any man or woman
who cares to write to our headquar-
ters, 60 East 42nd Street, New York
City.
The rea son for our emphasis upon
this article is that we believe Its
keynote to be as important for the
Republican party and the country as
it is for the Builders. The growing
tide of public interest in politics"
as revealed in this office, shows It.
self to be turning from abstract dis
cussiOn toward a desire for action.
in these trying times" says Mr..
Maurois, in his opening paragraph,
there are many prophets in our
midst crying for action. The diff
Guilty is that they take no steps to
do anything. They are like the OPERA
chorus that sings, March on, march |
On!' and stands perfectly still. Just |
so, these great critics keep repeating |
This is not the time for words and
demonstrate it by endless discussion
The real man of action does not talk
about action. he acts"
Mr.. MaurOis by no means urges
action without careful planning. But
ne assuredly expresses the Republi-
can spirit of the moment.

want" The newspapers played
her speech that way, and the effect
was immediate.
From the mass of our letters from
women voters it is possible TO pick
out a few high spots. The daughter
of a Connecticut congressman wants
Republican work to do and wants it
at once. A young cOlOred woman,
with two university degrees, wants
to organize among her own people,
TO help them resist the easy and dis
integrating philosophy of the New
Deal. A New York woman writes,
suggests and contributes TO month
ly fund for the Builders to run till
the National election next year.
es@
Two women writer's are coming to
the fore in the field of the present
governmental crisis. In my judgment
both men and women should watch
their work.
The first is Mrs. George B. Sim
mons, of Marshall, Mo-, speaking at
the "Grass- Roots" conference of
midwest Republicans, she launched
again her determined protest against
interference in a farm
er's life.
The second is. Margaret Culkin
Continuing her articles in

Certainly, since the NRA decision,
he Republican mood has changed
rom one of discussion to one of ac-
ion. Discussion must go on, because
he President, to a large extent, re-
sins the power to determine the
1rm in which the 1896 issues will
ONE up.
But fundamental issues are made
lmOst unbelievably clearer by the
Ourt's ruling. As the western con-
srence showed, Republicans. from
ow on, will accompany discussion

What about this two plank plat

Everything new is not right,

The famous Virginian, whom Presi-
dent Roosevelt invited to sit in his
cabinet, added: II think Of a United
States Senator as a man represent
ing a sovereign state. always pleased
when he may agree with his con-
stituents, but always Feserving to
himself the right to think for him
