Lewis is more than likely to en-
ter the political field in one OF

which ones to leave out. He has
been consulting with a large
number of advisers. II the seri-

his speech of Sept. 3 is Indicative
It will be one of the most momen-
tous addresses of the year.
Some of the advisers are radical

would have him break with
Roosevelt, be contemptuous of

a farmer-labor party now and ig-
more moderate counsels of other

SOME of the other leaders have
worried about the ,sourness of
Lewis toward Roosevelt and the

MEXICO KEEPS BUSY WITHOUT
REVOLUTIONS
(By BRUCE CATION

(By BRUCE CATToN)
More and more people are becoming in
terested in the economic struggle that is
going on with surprising lack OF audible
fireworks in the sister republic across the
Rio Grande.
A year ago learned observers visited
Mexico by the dozen and returned with
the word that it was only matter OF time
until the land of manana would become
another Spanish battlefield, another test
ing ground for communism.
That hasn't happened because Mexico
seems able to get all the excitement it
wants these days from labor troubles,
agrarian divisions and appropriation eX-
periments. President Cardenas apparent
ly has kept peace among his people by
the simple scheme of making peace more
exciting and unpredictable than war.
Admittedly the agrarian experiment
has not worked out even remotely to the
extent so fondly hoped for. The plan to
take the land from rich haciendados and
give it to the poems found most of the
poems unfit to care for their new posses
sions. They had no seed, no tools and no
money to buy any of these things, and
they were exploited by politicians.
But this did not keep President Car
denas and his socialistic regime from con-
fscating more plantations and cultivated
ranch land and dividing it among the poor
classes. Theoretically the land was paid
for in agrarian bonds. Actually most Of
the bonds have never been redeemed, Of
ten were never even issued.
But all this experimenting does keep
things moving in Mexico. Admittedly,
many of the laws under Mexico's labor
constitution were passed as experiments
and then abandoned. The Mexican govern
ment saw nothing more unusual in that
than in the United States, for instance,
taking the NRA out for trial run. There
have been few attempts to better the
Mexican agrarian plan and make it work
able. Presumably there will be more.
The appropriation measure, which al
lowed the government to step m and take
over industry as we'll as agriculture with
out notice, has been used more as threat
than as weapon. 1t has been said that
the government wouldn't dare step IN and
take over technical industries, such as oil
and mining, because it has not available
the trained technicians necessary to OPP
crate those industries successfully.
That may be true, but the law has GER
tainly resulted in some extraordinary la
Dor situations-such as oil workers strik-
ing and demanding, among other things, a
two-nonth paid vacation for every work
man with rail transportation for himself
and his family to any destination in the
world and back.
President Cardenas seems to have pro-
vided a system that beats the old order,
for Mexico-when the peon grabbed gun
and galioped off to battle every time some
one with silver-trimmed sombrero yelled
Viva la ibertad."

the white book will be published.
Other important topics were

AL Smith Wants
Derby To Rest
In Museum

LONDON, June 81 G.N.S0.
Former Governor Alfred E. Smith,
of New York, arrived in London
with his brown derby today, re-
ceived the press, told them he
would like his famous head-gear
to find final resting place in
the Dublin museum, and then took
a few raps at President Roosevelt.
He said: a-
"If the Administration per-
sists in efforts to pack the SUI
preme Court it may take a con-
StitutiOnal amendment to pre-
vent it."
Discussing taxation, he de-
clared:
Heavy taxation and future
uncertainty are preventing re-
cOvery in the United States.
Heavy industry and successful
enterprise nets a man One-third
of his earnings. If he loses, all
he gets is three cheers for the
red, white and blue. There is
no hope of real recovery as long
as that lasts"
Smith came here after visiting
Italy, where he talked with Pope
Plus and Premier MuSSolini.
