Mexican Oil
Seizures
Defended
By ARTHUR CONSTANTINE

By ARTHUR CONSTANTINE
MEXICO CITY, March "a
UN.SO.-The people of Mexico
will defend President Lazarc
Cardenas' appropriation program
with their lives.
That was the cry, uttered by the
president himself, that rams
through the country today follow
ing. a series of demonstrations all
over Mexico in support of Car
denas' decree taking over the
properties of II American ano
British oil companies.
HEARD BY 100000
Cardenas told crowd of 100, 900
persons at Zocalo that the nation
must be ready to make sacrifices
to indemnify the oil companies,
whose appropriated properties
were valued at $500, 100000.
Our country must be re-
Spected," said CardenaS. I'VE
must occupy high legal and
moral ground. Economic sac
rifces will be necessary, for
without them it would be i'm
possible to obtain the indie.
pendence which our people de-
mand."
Pointing out that a "preSs
campaign is going on against
Mexico in various countries,
Cardenas said there was no danger
OF any armed foreign intervention
in this country. But he added:
READY FOR SACRIFICE
THE people are ready not
only to make an economic con-
tribution, but even to offer their
lives if necessary"
During the demonstrations, sup
porters of the appropriation pro
gram, based on q policy oi
mexico for Mexicans," carried
coffin through the streets Of ths
capital to symbolic the death
of the foreign-owned petroleum
concerns.
Foreigners, fearing possible
violent outbreaks, kept out Of
sight in the country'S. principal
cities during the celebrations.

$4O0 ,O00, 900, was being studied al
the State Department today.
Jointly signed by four Of the
American companies the brief, SC
far carefully guarded at the De
partment, set forth that the Mexi'
can government has been guilty OF
a denial of justice to the oil com
panies in three instances.
COMPLAINT LISTED
They were:
1. In the stringent labor con-
ditions and wages demanded OF
the oil companies by the MeXi-
can department Of labor.
2. In the hearing and decision
of the Mexican supreme court,
which ordered the labor boards
working conditions established
under pain Of appropriation.
3. In direct appropriation
without responsible" means Of
determining the method OF
arriving at a fair and just
recompense for the expropria-
ton.
Furthermore, declared the oil
companies brief, it was economi-
cally impossible for the companies
to have set up conditions de-
manded by the Mexican labor
department and continue opera
ton Of the properties.
Four companie SHuasteca
STANDARD Oil of New Jersey, the
Standard Oil Company Of Cali.
fornia, the Penn-Mexican OH
Company and the Mexican Petrol.
cum Corporation-jointly signed
the brief. as..
HULL MOVES SLOWLY
Submission Of the oil companies
brief brought q general stiffening
of the Departments attitude
toward the Mexican government
in the oil cases, but it was still
apparent that Secretary Hull was
moving cautiously in the case.
From all indications it appeared
the department still hoped that
President CardenaS, Of Mexico,
would find some way Of smoothing
out the trouble over the oil COM
panies. Every effort has been ex-
tended in the past l8 months to
improve relations between this
Government and the Cardenas re-
gime, and Administration officials
were loath to take any steps that
might endanger this increasing
good will.
However, action of the oil COM
panies in charging denial Of jus
tice in the Mexican courts, Labor
Department and Executive Admin
istration brought the necessity for
some definite stand. Ambassador
JosephuS Daniels, in Mexico City,
has been in. frequent telephone
communication with Secretary
Hull, and is making no move with
out specific instructions from
Washington.

ACCIDENT VICTIM IS IMP ROWING
Light Truck Crashes Into Heavy Truck-Trailer on
 Waterbury-B y-Bristol Rd

Improvement was reported today in the condition of Kostantas Burba, 49, of Harriet avenue, who was in. jured early yesterday afternoon when the light truck which he was driving collided head-on with huge truck-trailer on the Waterbury Bris- tol road, in Wolcott. Burba is at St. Mary's hospital, having suffered in- juries of the head, nose and chest.
 Jack Bronstein of 13 Eastford Hartford, reported to Woicott au- thorities that the truck driven by Burba was on the left side of the highway. Bronstein said he halted his truck but that Burba's truck crashed into 1t head-on. Burba was driving a truck owned by the Brook lyn Baking Co., of this city.
 The bakery truck was badly dam- aged in the accident. The Waterbury police ambulance brought Burba to the hospital.

Paul Gill Vindicated
 In Official Finding Placed On File Today
Death of Aged Pedestrian John B. Perigard, Reviewed in Statement -POliceman's Warning Apparently
 Ignmed-Accident Occurred May 3l

Paul w. Gill, of R. F. D. 3, bus driver for the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co.,, is absolved of any criminal negligence in the death of John B. Perigard, 85, in finding issued today by Coroner John T. Monzani. Perigard died June g, having been struck by a bus oper- ated by Gill on May 31.
 Coroner Monzani not only holds that Gill was operating his bus carefully and was not responsible for the accident, but also says it is doubtful that the accident either caused or hastened death.
 Witnesses
 Witnesses examined at the inquest were: Gill, Patrolman John Cronin, George V. Adams of BPS Mill street, Catherine Connolly of 40 Washing ton street, Dr. Uric Dionne, Gladys F. Holloway of Naugatuck, Alberick Verrier, of 223 Bank street and Thomas F. Walsh of 67 Crescent street.
 The finding states, in part:
 "At about five minutes after four, Eastern Daylight Saving Time, on the afternoon of May 31, 1888, Paul w. Gill, regularly li- censed motor vehicle operator and bus operator, was driving bus of the Connecticut Railway & Light ing Company on a regular route and run southerly on South Main street, at the intersection of East and West Clay and South Main streets. This intersection is con- trolled by traffic lights and at the time that Gill approached and entered the intersection the light was green for traffic travelling in northerly and southerly direc- tion, and as he was going towards Naugatuck at the time this gave him the right of way in the inter- section. There were cars parked at the curb and Gill was driving a comfortable distance out into the street away from these cars, but on his own side of the highway.
 No Crosswalk?
 After Gill had passed West Clay street and the southerly cor ner of East Clay street, near St. Ann's church, John Perigard started out from the easterly side of South Main street toward the, westerly side. At the time Officer John Cronin, of the Waterbury Police Department, was standing
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-08-10

in the street near the curb on the easterly side of the street, and he warned Perigard not to cross the street, calling the warming after him several times. This Perigard disregarded. There was testimony of several witnesses that there is a cross-walk at this point but i'm mediately after being notified of the location of the accident I ex- amined the place and can find no marks on the pavement indicating a cross-walk at this place.
 "The bus, driven by Gill, was travelling at moderate rate of speed and MT. Perigard hurried out into the street. As the driver saw Perigard escape from the officer he immediately applied his brakes, but MT. Perigard came in contact with the left front corner of the bus, which was then almost at stop. The impact, however, threw him to the pavement. He was picked up at once and taken to St. Marys Hospital, where he was treated over night and dis charged the following day. He then came under the care of his family physician, who had him x-rayed and discovered a frac- ture of the right clavicle, a frac- ture of the right fourth rib and 8 fracture of the right transverse process of the first dorsal verte bra. He remained at home and on the morning of the 22nd of June, 1888, Dr. Dionne, the family phy- sician, was called to the house. At that time Dr. Audet saw MT. Peri gard, in consultation with pr. Dionne, and it was decided there might be a case of acute gall bladder, but it was considered in- advisable to operate on account of the mans advanced age. On the following day, June g, .1938, he developed pneumonia and died at his home at about HOO p. m.
 "The autopsy disclosed the cause of death to be biliary peril tonitis, congested heart failure and bronchial pneumonia. The gallbladder was gangrenous at the time of the autopsy and there were found three gallstones, one of them large, in the gallbladder.
 Cause Indefinite
 "I find that said death was caused by biliary peritonitis, con- gested heart failure and bronchial

BRITISH VETERANS
 MEET TOMORROW

All ex-servicemen, who were with the British forces during the World War, are urged to attend tomor- row evenings meeting of Lord Kitchener post, British Veterans as- sociation. The meeting will be held in the clubs quarters on Scovill street.
 The post is the only unit in Wa terbury composed of British veter- ans. Since its organization several years ago it has worked most suc- cessfully in the interests of the for- mer "Tonnmies". It has carried on a welfare and social program. It has accomplished much in preserv- ing ties of comradeship that were made during the excitement and tense period of the war. Present of- ficers have mapped out program of activities that will need the active support of all members. Consequent ly all eligible whether they have signed or not are asked to attend tomorrow nights session.

pneumonia, and it is very doubt- full in my mind whether this condition was precipitated by the accident although the same may be possible. However, I cannot find that the accident itself, whether it produced the condition that caused death or not, was in any way the result of any criminal negligence on the part of Paul w. Gill, the operator of the bus.
 T therefore, find that said death was not caused by any criminal act, omission or careless ness on the part of said Paul w. Gill"

neutralize sentiments of deprcS-
sion.
If the movement succeeds in
Saskatchewan, there is some APP
prehension felt lest it spread fur
ther afield. Alberta'S credit
among foreign investors is nil as
result of a series of financial
reforms, Including the renounce-
ment of provincial obligations and
an attempt to utilize the facilities
of the established banks as the
media Of socialized credit.
The outcome of this election, it
is expected, will either spell the
doom of social credit or give an
enormous impetus to that move

Social Credit schemes for WIN
ming Saskatchewan are not new
Shortly after Aberhart's election
in Alberta Social Credit sympa,,
thizcIs in Saskatchewan polled
$4,000 votes out of 26b00O in the
federal election. And that was
done with no organization.
Since that time, however, the
Western Canada Social Credit
Association has been formed, aim
of which is to win the four west
crn provinces-ManitOba, Haskat-
chewan, Alberta and British Co
humbia-when elections are held.
This is the first real opportunity
the party has had of extending 1T
self outside Alberta.
PROVINCE HARD HIT
Many political observers believe
that the field is Saskatchewan is
fertile for a Social Credit inva-
sion. For the past two years
drouth has been devastating. Pro-
ductivc areas were transformed
into a huge dust bowl. Half a
million people have been on re-
lief. Among such as these it may
not be difficult to propagate the
idea that they are being deprived

At Vera -BOrea's there were 3
