THE MEXICAN CHALLENGE
by Carleton Reals in Current
History According to this
article, before 1910 tie foreign
ers in Mexico could do almost
anything short Of murder and
get away with it. The Diaz die
tatorship gave them big gobs of
land. The author says that the
tourists would ask who ov ned
all the resources and would b.
answered that the for eigners
did. They would the n ask what
the Mexicans did and they would
get a reply that the Mexicans
stood on street corners and
shouted "Viva Mexico!"
Now it is just the opposite.
The Mexicans say that the for
eigners lot the land for a song
and in shady ways. The Mexi-
can government started to take
over the oil industry % years
ago, and, says Mr., Beals, almost
all of the foreign owners became
supporters of bandits and revo-
lutionists to keep their so-called
property and avoid taxes.

MOON AND WEATHER

Inc moon IS SUudI1 WOTAuS
somewhat like our own. 1t has
mountains and cracers, but no
water or air. The craters are
sometimes hundreds Of miles q.
cross. The smallest are bigger
than the biggest of ours.
1t was once thought there
were rivers and seas on the
moon, but it was later proven
that there are none. Since
there is no atmosphere, there
is nothing TO wear away the
mountains, and they stay sharp
and rugged.
Approximately once each
month the moon traveAs all the
way around the earth. When
the moon is located somewhere
between the earth and the sun,
we have what is called new
moon. Then the moon cannot be
seen because the side of the
moon facing us is having night,
and the side away from US is be-
ing lit up by the sun. When
the moon has travelled around
the earth 80 that we are on the
same side of ID as the sun, it is
full, because we can see the side
ON which the sun is shining.
When the moon is half way o.
round between new and full, we
see quarter moon, because the
sun is shining. on only half of
the half that we see, and the rest
of the sunlight is falling on the
part of the moon that We cant
see.
The moon always presents
the same side to us as it goes a.
round the earth. Therefore nu
body on this world knows what
is on the opposite side Of the
moon
You can easily under stand
how all of these things are If you
take light to represent the sun
and two other objects for the
earth and moon. Place your.
earth at some distance from the
sun, and your moon short wav
from the earth. Then make the
moon travel around the earth,
keeping the same face toward it.
and you will see how the moon
changes its appearance to us Az
the light falls on different parts
of it.
Some people think that they
can predict the weather by tn"
phases of the moon. h, But the
moon is gradually changing it's

CZECHS DRAFT NEW

PRAGUE, Aug. 26. (UP)-The
inner political council of the CZc-
choSlovakian cabinet last night
adopted a new platform for mi
nority reform negotiations offer
ing greater concessions to the Su-
deten Germans and other dlSsatlS-
fed minorities.
The new platform, agreed upon
when the inner political commit
tee met with President Eduard
Benes, was offered as an entirely
new basis for restoring the dead
locked min GRITTY negotiations.
1t was expected, according to
government officials, that the plat
form would enable Konrad Hen

representatives at an early date.
The new basis of approach, 1t

UPPER MEXICO GULF
PORTS THREATENED

MIAMI, Fla, Aug. 26. (UP).-
A vicious tropical hurricane,
which dashed Cozumel island with
winds of Is miles an hour or high
er, disrupted communications with
the tiny dot of land off the Yucca
tan coast late yesterday.
u. S. weather bureau officials
said the Cozumel island observa-
tory was a Mexican station. 1t has
been manner for several years
and has co-operated with United
States meteorologists for long
time" 1t is a considerable dis
tance north and west of Swan
island, mostly outside the hurri-
cane fury, where MeteOrologist A.
w. Ewing, formerly of Floyd
Bennett Field, Long Island. sta
ton has been transmitting renew
ed weather reports since August
10.
The federal hurricane warning
system said the communications
with Cozumel went out at p. m.
EST. as the storm, second in this
area within two weeks, moved to-
ward the northeastern coast Of
the Yucatan peninsula.
Last reports from the island,
received at 4 p. NJ, said the Is
land was feeling 80 miles and
hour winds and occasional strong
gusts, the seas were running high,
a heavy rain was falling and the
barometer had dropped to 29.4l
inches.
The hurricane reached the coast
of extreme northeastern Yucatan
at 7 p. m. EST, the warning
system reported, and was moving
northwestward at about Ia miles
per hour.
Caution was advised all inter-
ests in Northern Yucatan and the
southern and central Gulf of Mex
leo for the next "a to Sc hours.

New York State
Constitution Said
SlapAgainstF.R

ALBANY Aug. 26. (UP).-The
New York constitutional conVen-
ton last night gave overwhelming
approval to a new constitution de-
signed to meet modern economic,
social and industrial conditions in
President Roosevelt's home state.
The delegates approved the
new, 50.O00-word document by a
vote of 1913 to 2. State Conser-
walton Commissioners Lithgow Os-
borne and Joseph V. Mckee,
former acting mayor of New York
City, both Democrats, cast mega
tive votes.
The new document also con-
tains what Democrats have de-
scribed as a slap" at President
Roosevelt and the New Deal. The
SLAP" they argued, is contained
in provision aimed at bureau
cracy" tendencies in New York
state. 1t provides for court re-
views of all orders and decisions
of state department and bureaus.
"This is strictly Republican
constitution and undoubtedly will
be defeated at the polls, although
it does contain some valuable pro-
visions for the people of this
state" one Democratic leader
said.
Although the delegates have
given their approval to the docu-
ment, a prolonged fight was ex-
pected over the method of sub
the proposed amendments
to the people.
A special committee headed by
convention Frederick E. Crane.
has proposed submitting contro-
versial amendments separately.
Republican leaders have favor
ed submitting all the changes in
one proposition.
AS the convention neared sine
die adjournment, however, it ap-
peared that the committees rec
concentrations would be sustained.

some at least of the grave injury
done the subjects of that testi-

Admitting that he had received
the report, Dies said the commit
tee would give it careful study"
"The league, which has an in
vitation to testify, must prove its
case and it has thus far not APP
peared before the committee,
Dies said Sullivan was employ
ed by the committee only after
he received strong endorsement
from three New England congress
men, all having fine labor records
and backed by the league ITSELF"
Dies said that the three repre-
sentatives were Arthur D. Healey,
a committee member, Thomas A.
Flaherty, and John w. McCor-
mack, all Massachusetts Demo
Gratis.
IF the league really wants to
be helpful, why does it not come
before the committee and make
those chargcs?' Dies demanded.

issue - ferreting out subversive
activities 60 by going off on
tangent by attacking AN investi-
gator. 1t believes that anybody
who ever worked for detective
agency is a labor spy"
The leagues charges were made
shortly after Dies had blamed a
"small group" for attempting to
"lidicule" and "discredit" the
$4,000 inquiry ordered at the
last session of congress, and an
nounced that he would make a
nationwide address at 9:30 D. m.

swering his critics.
"Of the letters we received. 80
percent are favorable" Dies said.
"The most criticism | have seen
comes from these sclf-Styled lib
eral columnists. The newspaper
editorials have been favorable"
Warning that the committees
disclosures cannot "bc laughed
off," he said:
1--WE intend to get all the facts.
Critics will be afforded ample OPP
portunity to come before the COM
mittee and deny anything they
want and present any facts they
have. But the place to deny these
disclosures is in the committee

the areas appropriated and make
recommendations for the amount
of compensation in each case.
The second proposed that the
Mexican government impound
funds periodically and pay off
claims as they are considered.
''In either case" the secretary
declared, "my government feels
justified in requesting that, dur
ing the proposed arbitration, or
during the proposed settlement
suggested in the communication
of June 20, the Mexican govern
ment should agree that no furth-
CT taking of properties of Ameri-
can nationals should take place
unless accompanied by arrange
ments for adequate, prompt and
effective payment"
MeXico's appropriation law has
been sore point with Hull since
it was enacted. In his first note
he called it a violation of the Pan
American good-neighbor policy
and treaties to which all the
American republics subscribe.
In last nights note he CURLY
rejected the south republics views
and said "it is far from legitimate
for the Mexican government to at
tempt to justify policy which in
essence constitutes bald confisca-
ton by raising the issue of the
wholly inapplicable doctrine of
equality" In the foreeoing he re-
ferred to the recent Mexican re-
ply which said that Mexican claims
also are pending and that to pay
Americans before reimbursing its
own nationals would violate the
rule of equitu. -... ...

u. S. AND MEXICO
ON VERGE OF BREACH

Continued from pare one)
nomic and commercial relations as
would imperil the foundations of
modern civilization.
Human progress would be IA
tally set back"
The note was the second sent to
Mexico since she confiscated
S2OO,0O0,0OO of American-owned
oil properties last spring. At no
time, however. has Hull mention
ed the oil land seizures. His de-
mandS have been predicted on ex-
preparation of $l0,00O,0OO OF
American owned farm lands since
1927 when the southern republic
began a program Of internal re-
construction.
In his first note Hull proposed
that Mexico agree to submit the
issue to international arbitration.
The Cardenas government an
swered with a flat refusal, saying
in effect that there is no law or
treaty which makes compensation
obligatory, but evincing a desire
to pay when, and if, it is econom-
ically feasible.
Hull last night took sharp issue
with this, saying that reduced to
essential terms the answer meant
that any government may, on the
ground that its municipal legisla-
ton SO permits, or on the plea
that it's financial situation makes
prompt and adequate payment
onerous or impossible, seize prop
critics owned by foreigners, util-
lie them for whatever purposes it
sees fit, and refrain from proyid-
ing effective payment therefor,
either at the time of seizure or at
any assured time in the future.
81 do not hesitate to maintain,
he continued, that this is the
first case in tn" history of the
western hemisphere that such a
theory has been seriously advanc-
ed. In the opinion of my govern
ment, the doctrine SO proposed
runs counter to the basic precepts
of international law and of the
law of every American republic,
as well as every principle of right
and Justice upon which the insti-
buttons of the American republics
are founded.
1T seems TO the government of
the United States contention
alien to the history, the spirit and
the ideals of democracy as prac-
ticed throughout the independent
life of all the nations of this con-
tinent.
IF such a policy were to be
generally followed. what citizen
of any republic making his living
in any of the other 20 republics
of the western hemisphere could
have any assurance from one day
to the next that sc and his fam
lily would not be evicted from
their homes and bereft of all
means of livelihood"
Hull proposed two alternatives
in the event Mexico persists in
rejecting arbitration. The first,
advanced in an informal commun-
ication by Undersecretary of
State Sumner Welles last June 20,
suggested the appointment of two
commissioners, each representing
one Of the disputants, to appralse
