Mexican Deputies
Fight Sinarquista
COLONIZATION Plan
Organization Denounced
As Shock Brigade for
Nuzi Fifth Column
BY tEe Associated Press.


MEXICO CITY, Oct. 15.-Pro-
posed colonization of Lower Cali
fornia by 100000 Sinarquistas was
opposed by the Chamber Of Deputies
yesterday after heated debate dur
ing which the semi-military organ
ization was characterized as "a
shock brigade prepared by Na1
agents"
BY acclamation the Chamber ap-
proved resolution asking President
Manuel Avila Camacho to recon-
slider and withdraw his approval OF
the colonization plan on the ground
that if carried out Lower California
would become a potential base for
Nazi activities and grave danger
to Western Hemisphere security.
Deputy Alfredo Felix DiaZ, who
sponsored the resolution, declared
bluntly that the Sinarquistas con-
stituted an Axis-sponSored fifth coll
umn which "obeys a premediated
plan of espionage prepared by the
agents of Hitler and is the enemy of
Mexico and the worlds democra-
cies."
Strategic Importance Stressed.
Emphasizing the strategic impor-
tance of Magdalena Bay, which is
being enlarged and improved as a
Mexican naval base, Diaz declared
fifth column elements should not be
permitted to gain a fcothold on the
Lower California Peninsula.
The colonization of Lower Cali
fornia by the SinarquistaS would
signify a grave danger for the coun-
| try" he asserted. 1T would signify
the establishment Of a Sinarquista
republic which would be center OF
Naz-Fascist propaganda and a
grave danger for Mexico and the
continent"
Deputy Zapata Vela declared that
"a Lower California colonized by
the Sinarquistas would be for Mex
leo and the United States what
Holland and Belgium were for
France and England"
Fall of France Cited.
"The Chamber should advise the
government that it sees a grave peru
in this colonization, as from similar
/ developments there arose in Europe
forces which paved the way for
France and other nations to capltu-
late to Hitler" Vela said. The
Chamber should point out the stra-
tegic importance which Magdelena
Bay has for the continent"
The bay is the best port on the
Pacific coast between San Pedro.
Calf, and the Panama Canal. Sew
eral months ago a suggestion that
the United States be permitted TO
use it was discussed here, but no
definite action was taken.
Salvador Abascal, leader Of the
SinarQuistaS, who claimed mem
bership of 100000, said the charges
made in the Chamber were false
and declared the Deputies had no
right to interfere with the plan.
The regions in Lower California,
which. the Sinarquistas proposed to
settle,s are desert sections in the
southern half of the peninsula.
The Sinarquistas said they would
invest funds to develop the land
for tilling and offered to build high
ways projected for the southern por-
ton at half the sum earmarked in
government budgets.
