BLUNTNESS MARKS
DIPLOMATIC NOTE

WASHINGTON, Aug. up
Secretary Of State Cordell Hull
warned the Mexican government
today that diplomatic relations
between it and this government
were near the breaking point be-
cause of Mexico's continued con-
fiscation of American owned prop
erty.
The note was one of the long
est, and, according to veteran dip
lomats here, the most bluntly
worded diplomatic communica-
ton delivered to any foreign gov
eminent by the United States
since the World war. 1t was hand
ed to the Mexican ambassador.
DR.. Francisco Castillo Najera last
Monday, but made public only to
day because of the time required
for the document to reach Mex
leo City by mail.
Hull reiterated previous pro.
posals to arbitrate the claims for
American-owned agrarian land
appropriated by Mexico, but add
ed:
II find it necessary emphatical-
ly to state that, after many years
of patient endeavor on the part
Of this government to obtain just
satisfaction for these claims with,
out success, the government Of
the United States has regretfnlly
reached the conclusion that it IL
impossible to adjust them by di~
plomacy."
Hull informed the Mexican gov.
eminent through Ambassador Don
Francisco CASTILLO Najera that its
refusal to arbitrate the dispute
over appropriation Of American
owned farm lands was a violation
of international law which threat
ems a breakdown of confidence
and trust between nations.
He added ominously that "since
the Mexican government has chaI.
lenged the doctrine of just COM
pensation and proposes to substi-
tute for it, to all intents and pur.
poses, the theory of confiscatiOn.
the merits Of this fundamental is.
sue must be determined before
any others can be considered"
His views were set forth in 4
long note which was delivered to
the Cardenas government Tues
day but which was not made pub
lie until last night. He sternly re-
buffed Mexico's contention that
the appropriations were purely an
internal economic question and
said that specifically it is pro
posed to replace the rule of Just
compensation by the rule of con-
fiscation."
adoption by the nations of
the world of any such theory as
that" he added, would result in
the immediate breakdown Of con-
fidence and trust between ma
tons, and in such progressive de-
terioration of international eco

Social, Political Views ColGding

Editor Tells ARP. Lay
men Spiritual Poison
in Current Politics

ANY social or political concept

lides also with Christianity, Dr..
Julian S. Miller, editor of the
Charlotte Observer, told a large
audience in a layman's day meet
ing this morning at Bonclarkcn,
\. RIP. conference center.
DR.. Miller was one of the chief
speakers of the day. Early this
afternoon, DR.. Robert +. Speer Of
New York City, addressed the
group, while another speaker was
Dr.. +. l.. Reid of Erskine college,
whose address outlined the quail
ficationS and duties Of an elder.
Tonight at 8 o'clock, Dr.. w. {.
Robinson Of Columbia Theological
seminary, Decatur, Ga, is seized
uled for an address.
The Christian Workers confer
ence, which will end Sunday, will
close the 1888 season of the
church center, although the as
sembly inn will be open until Dc
tOber |.
DR.. Miller said there are no
new immoralities in the world to-
day but that the threat to Chris
tianity lies in immoral concepts.
There is much spiritual poison
in the political pOtiOns that are
being poured down the throatS of
the people today" he said. ''lnso-
far as the human content is con
celned, democracy and Christian
ity are interchangeable. The birth
of democracy was co-incident with
the birth of Christianity.
1.-THE fact that RusSia'S politi-
cal concept collided with democ-
racy and therefore with Christian
ity explains why Russia had to
hold Gods funeral in the streets
of Moscow. 1t explains why in
Germany Protestant ministers
were Shackled. And it can happen
here. 1t is amazing to me that the
Christian pulpit has been all but
silent as the waves of new pag-
anism have touched our shores.
And it is even more amazing that
citizens of our country, whose
first citizenship is in heaven, have
taken it and seemed to like it,"
DR.. Miller asserted that 1.-The
sins and woes of the world will
never fade out until Christ has
been put in his rightful place"
"No Utopian land can ever be
discovered by congress; the res
cue of human society will be ac-'
complished by grace alone" he de-
clared. 1T is a choice between the
gospel of Christ or ruin all the
way around. This gospel must be

TOKYO DECLARES
ACTION SUSPICIOUS

TOKYO, Aug. 2G. (UP)-A
foreign office spokesman said to-
day that the Japanese attack Oh
the American-piloted Chinese Ma

The spokesman said the attack

Macao Wednesday and its passen-
gers machine-gunned.
japanese aViators are observing
rules formulated at the Hague
conference under which civil
planes are liable to attack when
they are within hostile zones, he
said.
The spokesman said the attack
occurred within the zone outlined
by the foreign office last June 20
when foreign diplomats were no.

The Japanese army and navy

he said, but it would help Japan

flights over the area.
The foreign office spokesman's
statement confirmed that of a
