ANTI.FOREIGN
MOVEMENT AT
PAUSES
Mexic ali Lea ders
Fearful After
Assassination

MEXICALI, Oct. 9. (Spe-
cial)-Threats of revolution
sweeping the interior of Mex
leo today gave pause to labor
union and agrarian chief
tans here in their program to force
expulsion of all foreigners from Ba-
ia California within go days.
Marking time in their demand
for appropriation of all business
and agricultural property controlled
by foreigners, GROIN and GIN
labor groups and agrarian farmers
turned their eyes toward the Mexi-
can state of San Luis Potosi, where
the assassination of an agrarian
leader gave rise to threats of fed
eral reprisal against the state gov
ernment, and of revolution.
President Lazaro Cardenas, said
dispatches from Mexico City, will
attempt soon to oust the state
government. The news was crucial
because the state government is
loyal to General Saturnino Cedillo,
who resigned recently as federal
secretary of agriculture in bitter
dispute with the president over
confiscation of the property of for
eignerS, such as is proposed in
Baja California. Cedillo opposed
the program He controls the last
private army in Mexico, number
ing 1900 men.
Armed opposition to the expro-
priation program in interior Mexi-
co, observers believed, might re-
suit in discouraging Baja Califor-
mia leaders in their proposal.
Touching off the internal dis
pute was the assassination of To-
mas Tapia, newly appointed state
chairman of the National Revolu-
tionary Party-the party now in
control of Mexico. Tapia was
leader in the agrarian program
and highly regarded counselor at
Mexico City.

other foreigners in Baja California
today turned their attention to
large land holdings here to deter
mine what inroads the expropria-
tion program already has made.
Since the beginning of the agrari-
an program in Mexicali Valley last
spring a total of 92,844 hectares of
land have been taken by the gov
eminent for the agrarians, with
the appropriations already approved
in Mexico City. OF this total, 76.11S
hectares belonged to the Colorado
River Land comanY, an American
ccnrolle1 firm and 1860 hectares
belonged to other individuals in the
district.
CA hectare equals 2.471 acres)
Agrarians have appropriated an
other 1928 hectares, but have not
vet obtained the approval of Mex
leo City.
Besides the Colorado River Land
company, individuals or firms suf-
fering from the agrarian confis-
cations include the Lotus ranch,
practically all Of the land OF the
Imperial Development company and
the Civil Agricultural company

Under the appropriation proposal

of the size of their holdings. none
would escape loss of their lands.
Aimed principally at business and
industry, the latest program would
nevertheless have a decided effect
