tributed in Mexico City early this month,
he charged that the errors of the admin
istration have disorganized the country
and brought want and suffering to the
masses of the people"
He condemned the granting of COM
munal land holdings which has brought
a new form of slavery with an omnipotent
overload" and denounced "the false labor
policy based on demagogy for the ex-
elusive benefit of insincere leaders whose
actions leave much to be desired
Scored Expropriation.
His strongest blasts were at expropria-
ton:
1T is essential to condemn uncondi-
tionally-and as Mexican do condemn
1t with all the vigor possess-the abuse
which has been made of the govern
mental right of appropriation, which has
been employed in many cases to satisfy
personal vanities and the sectarian de-
mands of groups which enjoy official
favor without being based on true rea-
sons of public interest.
Moreover, deem 1t unpatriotic to
create obligations of an international
character for the country in the knowl-
edge that we have not the financial
capacity to comply with them. We must
turn our attention to ourselves and must
cease boastful International policy"
At such a distance from the election it
is scarcely possible to foresee what sud-
den turn of events may throw to the sur
face man now entirely out of the run
ming. There are. for instance, such men
as Gen. Gildardo Magma, governor of
Michoacan, Cardenas' home state, an old
revolutionary who is not so far to the
right as Amaro or Almazan.
Then there is Luis Rodriguez, former
secretary to President Cardenas and
governor Of the state of Guanajuato, and
now head Of the P. r. M. Also the color
full radical Adalberto Tejeda, 56-year-old
Ambassador to Spain, who as governor
Evening star., 1939-03-19

of Veracruz executed the repressive anti
Catholic laws. He favors appropriation
and as Socialist candidate for President
in 1884 opposed Cardenas. And there
are others, including Lombardo Toledano
himself, although his election would
probably be the signal for Fascist re-
volt.
These men, while possibilities in the
changing scene of Mexican politics, have
only outside chances at best.
Foreign Meddling Seen.
The imponderables in Mexican politics
deepen the uncertainty and demand
recognition. First of all is Cardenas
himself. Uppermost in his mind, Of
course, is preservation of his work, and
in that connection selection of some one
who will reckon with him after he leaves
Office.
The army at the moment is pro-Car-
denas, but might desert him If it's leaders,
fearful that Cardenas is trying to die
tate his successor, should unite behind
one of their number as an opponent to
the administration.
Finally there are the foreign interests,
which can hardly be expected to keep
their fingers out of the presidential pie
in the light Of their present perilous
position. Foreign money backing tho
industrialists, landowners and a recall
citrant army might wreak havoc with
early campaign calculations.
AS for foreign governmental inter-
ference, the United States will keep
hands strictly of, hopeful only that
Mexico will elect a President who will
approach a little closer to a basis for
settlement Of outstanding questions.
The possibility Of revolt by Fascist
elements is not to be ruled out, especially
II they see themselves doomed to six
more years Of Cardenas' policies, al-
though his promise Of free election
gives them every opportunity for an open
campaign.

(Lo1Uer) GEN. AVILA CAMACHO.
dustrialists vastly improved labor condi-
tions and wages.
Labor organization has reached its
present proportions only since the advent
of Cardenas. Vicente Lombardo Tole-
dano created his radical c. T. M. (Con-
federation de Trabajadores de MexicO
in 1888. Encouraged by Cardenas in Or
ganization and strikes it eclipsed the old
conservative c. R. o. M. Confederation
Regional Obrera Mexicana) and now
boasts membership of more than a mil
lion.
Peasant and worker, therefore, have
something substantial to vote for when
they march to the polls year from July.
They have mutual interest in continu-
ance of Cardenas' policies. Their votes,
then, must be regarded as solid bloc
for whomever Cardenas chooses to in
dorse.
Against their alliance, and attacking
land distributions, labor and the oil ex-
preparations will be counter alliance
of landowning and industrial classes and
foreign interests. 1t is against this back
drop that the personalities are emerging
in the competition for the presidency.
Administration Plans Laid.
Preparations of the administration Or
CARNATIONS are well advanced. Last year
Cardenas converted the old National
Revolutionary party Up. N. r. into the
new Mexican Revolutionary party P.
r. NJ, which embraces labor, the peas
ants and the army. The party will hold
its nominating convention in November.
Its nominee is already fairly evident in
the person of Gen. Manuel Avila Cana
cho, political centrist. Minister of de-
fense for year under Cardenas he stood
close to the President. He has already
virtually been assured of election by the
Endorsement of Lombardo Toledanos
c. T. Mas well as the National Peas
ant Confederation-(C. N. c., which
counts more than 100000 members.
Thus with the c. T. Ms million, Avila
Camacho is fairly certain to have a ma
jority-if unforeseeable events do not
upset his candidacy.
Avila Camacho has played his cards
with extreme care in an effort not to
commit himself publicly on any issue. He
has large following and his campaign
is in full swing in about half Of Mexicos
states.
Lombardo Toledano's support for him
is one of those political mysteries which
plague Mexican politics. There is reason
to believe that Lombardo Toledano,
sensing growing reaction to radicalism
in Mexico and frankly fearful of a Fascist
uprising, has picked out Avila Camacho
as the best man to preserve labors posi-
ton while making some concession to
conservative feeling.
Rivalry for the administration candi-
dacy is, Of course, strong. and Avila Ca
macho Is not without competitors, Al

forces with Austria and marched of to
battle with Prussia during the Austro-
Prussian War. The battle ended before
they arrived and the Liechtensteiners
marched back to their homeland, stacked
their arms and resumed their peaceful
occupations. However, when the post.
war peace treaty was drawn up, through
an oversight Liechtenstein was not in
cluded. Hence today the little country
IS technically still at war with Prussia.
Prior to 1719 Liechtenstein consisted
of two Holy Roman Empire counties,
Schellenburg and Vaduz. Schellenburg
came into possession of the Princes of
Liechtenstein in 1899, Vaduz in 17l2.
The two counties were constituted a
principally by diplomas from Karl VI
in 17l9. After the treaty of Pressburg,
Prince John seeded from the Holy
Roman Empire in 1906 and joined Ma
poleon's Confederation of the Rhine.
But Napoleon fell and with him the
Rhine Confederation. Liechtenstein al
lied itself with the German Confedera-
ton in 1915 and remained a member
until the latter's dissolution in 1866
when Liechtenstein became an inde-
pendent state
Liechtenstein's royal family traces its
descent back to the twelfth century when
its members were known as free barons.
Prince Johann II, predecessor to Prince
Franz l, enjoyed peaceful reign which
began in 1858, shortly before Abraham
Lincoln's election, and ended in 1929, the
year OF President Hoover's Inauguration.
Many OF Liechtensteins princes have
ruled from their large Vienna palaces,
only visiting their country periodically
The monarchy is hereditary through the
male line
Farming is Chief Occupation.
Most OF Liechtenstein's inhabitants are
engaged in agricultural occupations. The
country's chief products include corn,
fruit, wine, wood and marble. Others
are cotton. leather goods and pottery.
Alpine pastures provide excellent oppor-
tunity for cattle raising and dairying.
Vaduz, with population of more than
1000 inhabitants, is the seat of govern
ment. The constitution, adopted in 1921,
provides for diet of Is members elected
for four-year terms. by direct vote, with
universal suffrage and proportional rep
resentation. A cabinet assists the reign
ing prince and high court metes out
justice to the population. Actual law
enforcement is left in the hands Of three
policemen, whose boats cover the coun-
try's entire IS square miles. According to
the 1936-37 count, Leichtenstein could
boast 40 elementary and 81 continuation
schools with 1,799 pupils. Since 1921
Liechtenstein has used Swiss currency
and was included in the Swiss customs
union in 1924. Its postal and telegraph
services also are administered by Switzer-
land.
Liechtenstein's five chief villages are
Bazers, Triesen, Vaduz, Schaan and
Nendeln. Cattle drift casually down
their main streets along with peaceful
peasants and cyclists. German in origin,
the county's 10000 inhabitants are pre-
dominently Catholic. A luxury in Liech-
tenstein, few motor cars travel over
the highways connecting the villages. A
railroad cuts through the western from
tier. Its trains stop at Schaan to pick
up an occasional traveller and puff on
ward to Munich or Vienna.

LONDON, Aug. 9.-Imperial Air
