Quaker Plan 10 Set UE
Directors Camps in
Mexico Is Rebuffed
U. S. Stote Department
Succeeds in BoIkinq
Embarrassing Project
By LEON PEARSON.

The Society of Friends has been
denied the right to establish work
camps in Mexico for conscientious
objectors. The petition has been
made by leading Quakers, appearing
before State Department officials
here and before the United States
Embassy in Mexico City But,
after protracted discussion, it was
denied
The same ruling applies to re-
quests for GO" work camps in other
foreign countries, including China
and Africa. But special interest at
taches to the Mexican proposal be-
cause of the fact the Friends Service
Committee has operated work camps
there for several years past.
Quakers sent a group of workers
to the Laguna district of Mexico in
1889 on project for construction
OF Schoolhouse. For two years,
Quakers have aided in rehabilitation
Of the TuXpan area, which was dev-
astated by an earthquake. The most
recent project, which is still in op-
Grafton, is the cleaning of a malaria
swamp in the state Of Vera Cruz.
But those projects involved no
Conscientious objectors. When the
Quakers. cooperating with the Sc
leCtive Service Board sought to send
COS" to Mexico, the State Depart
ment entered vigorous objections.
Clarence Pickett, chairman of the
Friends Service Committee, went to
Mexico in an attempt to persuade
Ambassador George MeSserSmith to
approve the project. But MIR. Mes
serSmith stated that the Mexican
government would be embarrassed
by the presence Of such unit from
the States. at a time when national
unity was sought in Mexico in sup
port Of the war.
Later, Ray Newton, another off,
cial Of the Friends Service Commit
tee, went to Mexico on the same er-
rand. but with the same result. The
matter was presented meantime to
Undersecretary of State Welles, but
with no more success.
The result is that the service
camps for conscientious objectors
must be confined to the United
States.
