 Part Of General Plan This outbreak and those in many states since then are part of general plan which we shall carry through to a conclusion in not more than six months. "We are constitutionalists. We believe in the right of freedom of religious expression under the con. stitutiOn. But the present govern ment is violating the constitution daily.
 we have plenty of money--and please say that no money Is com ing to us from the United States. All patriots in Mexico are contrib uting to the revolution in amounts ranging from peso (27.85 cents) to 100000 pesos ($2.785). And n 1S4 { A mn

We obey the consti- tuition but not the present govern ment's Interpretation of 1t, and we believe that under the constitution all creeds-Cathoiics, Jews. all-- are entitled to liberty and freedom of worship.

 "We regard the resolution as Il. legal and impertinent. It ought not to be considered seriously by Mex ico."
 A member of the government party in the senate told the United Press that the senate was prepar- ing to protest against Borah's res olution.
