M ExIco cITY.-Mexico's strangest
nu revolution has come to an end
with two developments outstand-
ing after almost two weeks of
conflict These are the importance which
airplanes have played in the current
fracas, and the success of the governments
policy of "suffocating with kindness" the
opposition of the rebels.
1t Is traditional in Mexico that revolu-
tions begin in the north and the San
Luis Potssi outbreak supported the theory,
1t is also historical fact that the opportu-
nifty for rebelling is afforded by the ex-
treme isolation of many regions of the
nation. which isolation has in the past
permitted movements to be launched before
federal soldiers could arrive to check them.
The state of San Luis Potosi Is typical
OF such Isolated regions. being composed
mainly Of vast mountain ranges densely
overgrown with trees and brush and sparse
ly populated. 1t is hanked on one side
by the Pan-American highway running
from Mexico City to Laredo, Tex, and
on the other by the National Railways line
connecting the same points In between
is the wilderness Of mountains penetrated
only by burro trails and an occasional road
Dictatorship in the WILDERNESS.
1t was the wildness OF the region which
permitted former Gen. Saturnino Cedillo
to function as virtual dictator OF the state
and to establish there his network of land
ing fields and caches of arms. More than
year ago he recognized the Importance
Of airplanes in dominating the state and
accordingly was prepared to launch his
rebellion via the air. He reckoned how
ever without the opposition which gov
ernment planes could give him, functioning
on the same basis
The major factor in quelling the upris-
ing, which was fortunately checked before
it got well under way, was the army air
force. Though infantry and cavalry were
forced to move by devious and tedious
routes, the IL government planes stationed
at San Luis Potosi went straight as the
crow flies'' to each encounter and proved
themselves the decisive forces preventing
the spread of the revolt.
The planes covered in q few hours the
oIc1duCcS WlACu NATURE naQ prOVlQeQ as
protection for the Cedillistas, making sur
vey flights to locate the enemy air fields
and, in many cases. the enemy positions.
They were successful in pursuing rebal
bands when reports reached the capital of
San Luis Of an enemy raid, and in machine
cunning the revolutionists from the air.
BY their radios they gave positions to the
land forces and it was the cooperation Of
the two which resulted in the quick dis
solution Of many bands.
The army planes also were brought into
service to patrol the railway tracks, look
ing for burned bridges or gangs In ambush.
When some assault upon the trains oc-
CURED in their absence they were sum-
moned for immediate pursuit and to give
direction to the land forces.
Consequently the power of the air force
has been impressed upon the national con-
sciousness and has demonstrated its capac-
ity for overcoming the evolt-breeding iso-

~ OMBAY, India-"I foresee the in
x dependence of India in another
J two or three years!" Mahatma
Gandhi told this reporter in an
exclusive interview from his bed in a sea-
side bungalow near Bombay, where the
idolized leader of the Indian masses de
rected the momentous conferences aimed
at effecting Hindu and Moslem unity in
India.
Political affairs" the Mahatma con-
tinued, have changed in India during
this past year. Many discordant factors
have disappeared, and the whole outlook
for Indias cause is now much more en-
couraging Some of our colleagues say
that dominion status will be achieved in
five years. But that is too long! I feel
that independence will come before then!"
When asked regarding the effects Of
the more conciliatory policy now evidenced
by the British government toward MEM
bers Of the all India Congress, the Mahatma
nodded his head emphatically.
EYES," he said, "the whole outlook is
much brighter now. The attitude OF the
British government is helpful and en-
courasing. It Is more lenient now, and
more understanding than 1t has ever been
before. Much is being accomplished as
the result.
Right now We are very hopeful the

Mexicos Strangest Revolution
Mercy and the Modern Apane Have Combined Overthrow
WellEstabished Traditions

During this time there were three at
tempts to overthrow the government, each
dealt with in decisive fashion. There were
firing squads and hangings from telegraph
poles for rebels. There was violent warfare
between church and state climaxed in the
assassination of Gen. Obregon in 1928. For
this crime . religious fanatic and several
priests were shot and others sent to prison.
Enemies OF the government were either
disposed of In such fashion or exiled from
the country.
President Cardenas defined his position
when he spoke recently In San Luis Potosi,
urging the malcontents to surrender their
arms and return to peaceful and fruitful
occupation. His message was, he said, Not
due to the weakness of the government, but
to profound sense Of social peace"
The policy has been surprisingly effective,
for the government has announced daily
the surrender Of armed bands, sometimes
numbering as many as 500, and their re-
turn to farming. BY removing their fear
Of reprisal and connscating their arms the
government has rendered them impotent to
carry on future rebellious activities.
Equal latitude has been shown to indi-
vidual offenders, among whom was in
cluded Senior Rutilio Alamilla. private Sec
retary to the rebel Gov. Mateo Hernandez
Metro of San Luis Potosi, and one of the
signers Of the manifesto calling for the
overthrow Of the government Alamilla was
detained for questioning In Mexico City
but soon set free.
An Example Of Clemency.
The case of Juan Urias soria, nephew Of
former Gen. Cedillo. has also been used as
an example Of the governments clemency.
He appealed to President Cardenas for q
safe conduct to join his uncle, saying that
he owed everything to Cedillo. The safe
conduct was given to him, but he was dis
suaded from using 1t since it would make
him an enemy of the government, and he
returned to Mexico City.
Since the present campaign has been one
of vigorous propaganda, the government S
department of publicity and propaganda
has played an active part It has widely
publicized both the Alamilla and Urias
Soria cases as examples Of clemency and Of
the new era which is being unfolded.
Through the use Of radio. bulletins and
posters it has taken fullest advantage of
the recent events to brand Cedillo as .
traitor and to class Cardenas as q great
humanitarian. This shrewd maneuvering
has served to place any other ambitious
malcontents in the position where their
attempts to disturb the peace would be
distinctly unpatriotic, and will serve, as
much as the army air force. to place Presi-
dent Cardenas in q stronger position at the
conclusion of the San Luis affair than he
was preceding it.
That he will need this strength continues
to be evident from the bad economic state
of the nation. For when the final period is
placed to the Cedillo conflict, he must again
face the realities Of depressed peso Of
alarmingly high living costs, of a barely
functioning business life and Of settle

PA Planes Fly Out Z NOmeites
 This Morning

After battling with stormy weather for a week, the two Pac- ilc Alaska Airways mail planes arrived al Nome Sunday from Fairbanks. At intervals between dayligh. and darkness and when the weather would clear for an hour or so, the planes made short hops enroute. Stops were made at Panama, Ruby, Nulato, Unalakleet, and White Mountain, due 10 changing weather condi- tions before finally being able to get through to Nome.
 The first Pilgrim plane brot first class mail and some second class matter. Pilots Savory and Flight Mechanic Freddie Mueller were in charge of the plane.
 The second Pilgrim plane brought second class matter and was piloted by Bill Knox accom- panied by Tommy Martin, flight mechanic.
 Both planes remained here ov- CT night awaiting more favorable weather and were given extra care by the mechanics as well as being gassed and oiled for the return journey.
 Local PAA agent William Bar Der, was on the job bright and early this morning rustling up his passengers and mail con- signments for both planes, which got away to an early start on the return trip to Fairbanks. Accord ing to weather reports the entire distance from Nome to Fairbanks was reported favorable except in the vicinity of Nulato, on the Yukon River, just over the div idle from Boring Sea and Norton Sound.

Pioneer Roof Garden Be Held
 December l7
Pioneer Roof Garden Under Way. Date Is Set, And
 Committees Appointed

Once more the mother IglOO of the Pioneers of Alaska. Nome IglOO No. l, steps out with the assistance of her sons and dau ghterS to make the wellkin ring with waSsail and merriment on the occasion of the IglOo's an nual Roof Garden to be held next December 17th at the Pub lie School Auditorium.
 The Pioneers of Alaska have always been noted for their un- bounded enthusiasm, both for their organization, and for their adopted land. TheIr valient spir- 1t staunch courage and abiding faith in the future of their great Territory IS source of unfa1l- ing wonderment to the neWcom- CT. who all too frequently mere ly sees in Alaska the opportun- ity for quick stake, then back to the States leaving nothing be- hind to mark his passing.
 Of all the purely Alaskan or ganizations formed at the turn of the century, the Pioneers of Alaska alone remains, with 29 Igloos active from Nome to Ketch;kan, and membership of severa thousand. Nome should be pa, llarly proud of and Joy al to r. great Pioneer Order, for Nc 2 was it's birthplace and Igloo N 1 its cradle.
 One e the oldest and most en- joyabl vents of Nome's winter social .tivities is the Pioneer Roof Garden. It takes a real old timer to recall the first of these affairs, only interrupted through the years by the late great fire of 1894. The same high qualities of enthusiasm and bouyancy of spirit that has always marked AL aSka's Pioneers is reflected in the staging of these annual Roof Gardens. for while these qual- ities may be intangible, no af- fair of the nature of the Annual Roof Garden can be a success without them and we have yet to see the time when those who at- tended did not invariably say that the Pioneer Roof Garden was the highlight of the winter social season.
 At a meeting held Wednesday evening, presided over by Presi- dent elect Chas. Code. the follow ing committees from Igloo No. and the Womens' Auxiliary were selected to stage the Annual Roof Garden for the enjoyment and entertainment of the entire com munity.

:. It is very important to distin- guish between a lode and pla- cer deposit. If deposit is lode, it should be staked as lode claim; If it is placer, it should be staked as a placer claim... If both a lode and a placer deposit are found in the same area, it should be located as both a placer and a lode claim.

517 Calls to Studio Are

To swing or not to swing. That is
the question that is bothering the
radio stations Of the land, as you prob
ably well know by now.
Up in Detroit the general manager
of WJR, Leo Fitzpatrick. won him
self quite bit of notoriety recently
when he averred as how he would cut
any band off the air which swung into
bit of desecration of old favorites or
classical music.
Here in town our own Art Brown
started the telephone wires humming
up at VOL one morning when he
claimed he would never, never, never
play Martha" as she is swung by
Connie Boswell. He'd play it as a
tenor solo in the operatic version, but
never would he play it in the Boswell
version.
So now comes bit of statistical in
formation anent the subject. When
