Mexico Takes Steps
AGAINST Disorders,
Over AImazan Claims
F: Highways Are PotroIIed
/: And Airports and All
, Trains Watched
~ the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 5.-The adj
ADMINISTRATION of President Cardenas
took precautions today to forestall
any public disorders as result of
the claims of Gen. Juan Andrea AL
-azaazan's political supporters that he
was elected Cardenas' successor in
,the July election.
: A statement by Angel Trechuelo,
who claimed to be an executive of
Gen. Almazans party, that an
armed attempt to seize power might
shortly begin was repudiated by the
-Almazan party. Emilio Madero, head
sof the party, said he had never
sheard" of Trechuelo, and had heard
mo such reports.
. The government patrolled high
ways, watched airports and kept all
trains under surveillance to check
on movements of Gen. Almazan's
followers, while responsible sources
reported troop reinforcements
were being moved to Northern
Mexico, regarded as an Almazan
stronghold. -
Peasants Declared Ready.
: Graciano Sanchez, head of the
national confederation of 5000 600
peasants, announced 10000 trained
members were ready to take up their
rifles in support of the administra-
ton, which backed Gen. Manuel
Avila Camacho against Gen.
Almazan in the disputed and bloody
July presidential election.
Assassination Charged.
=. Followers of Gen. Almazan, who
now is in the United States, issued
manifesto yesterday charging the
Cardenas regime with assassination
and imprisonment of their members
and attacking the 1888 expropria-
lion Of American and other foreign
oil companies as part of a shad-
.owy Stalinist maneuver to create
difficulties for the democracies on
this continent"
. They said the people were ready to
help the AlmaZanistas "rectify the
policy of blind subordination to
Soviet totalitarianism and criminal
destruction of the nation"
Call for Sacrifices.
The manifesto called upon Mex
leans to make whatever sacrifice is
necessary to crown the democratic
victory which legally is ours"
Avila Camachos Office quickly re-
piled:
There is no crisis. The Alma
zanistas have finally revealed them
selves as the paid servants of the oil
companies against the interests of
the Mexican people. The manifesto
Is call to rebellion. But the Alma
zanistas may call the people to re-
bellion until doomsday without re-
ceiving any answer"

Japan Warned by Hull
On Two Far East Issues

Japan had open warning today
that the United States expects her
to keep out of French Indo-China
and to agree to the patrol by Amer
lean defense forces of part of the
former British sector of the Shang-
hal International Settlement, where
important American interests are To-
Gated.
The double challenge to Japa-
nese expansionist tendencies came
in the form of two public state
ments by Secretary of State Hull
late yesterday, closely following ac-
QUESTION from Great Britain of new
naval and air bases in the Atlantic
and Caribbean which immeasurably
strengthen United States naval
power.
One statement took note Of re-
ports that Japan had delivered an
ultimatum to French Indo-China,
demanding military and naval facil-
tiles there for operations against
China, and declared that If the
reports prove to be well founded
the effect upon public opinion in
the United States would be unfor-
tunate."
Hopes for Settlement.
In his other statement Secretary
Hull reviewed the dispute over
patrol of the sector of Shanghai
recently vacated by British troops,
expressing hope that Japan and
this country could agree to a "rea-
sonable settlement" to meet our de-
mands for putting American forces
in charge Of sector B." containing
the American Consulate General
and other important interests.
Mr.. Hull said he was reluctant
to give credence" to the reports of
a japanese ultimatum on French
Indo-China. recalling that Japan
had joined this and other govern
ments recently in reaffirming re-
spect for the status quo in the Pa
clflc area, with special references
to the Netherlands East Indies and
French Indo-C China.
THE situation and the subject to
which these reports relate is, how
ever, matter to which this Gov
eminent attaches Importance" the
Secretary emphasized.
Demanded Entire Area.
In the Shanghai dispute, Japan
has refused to accept a majority
decision by the Shanghai Defense
Committee which assigned Sector
D" in the International Settlement
defense plan to Japanese forces, and
Sector B" to American troops.
Japan was understood to demand
control of the entire area.
Pending negotiations now under
way between this and the japanese
governments, neither of the sectors
involved in the dispute have been
taken over by their respective de-
Tense forces as yet. The Shanghai
Volunteer Corps is providing special
protection in Sector B."
