Viewpoint in the struggle between the government and the Catholic church. The writer states he is a Protestant. It is given below in part: L. "There til"; nothing complex .or rocondlte about the current conflict between the Government and the Catholic Church in Mexico. It is Very simple. Here is the A B C of it: "l-Calles seeks to Justify his drive upon tho Church by accusing it of mixing in politics. Doubtful. very. The facts do not sustain the argument. It is certain that what- ever mixing-in the Church may have been doing. covertly or overtly. it was neither impertant nor stree- tlve. The Church has not been a political factor in Mexico since 1867. when Juarez shot Maximilian. who was induced to take the throne and try to make something out of the country. largely through the insinu- ations of Catholic leaders who were Mexicans and who at the time cer- tainly had as much right to speak for the people as any of the other political palading who were cavort- Lrg and crating and shooting all ’ r the place. “If the Church was so powerful and ambitious politically as Cailes tries to make out. it seems curious that it was not strong enough to hays kept in otiice Dias—who gave the Church its head, pretty much. within wholesomely circumscribed limits. inside of which thc‘Hierarchy was content to keep—and his crowd. and to have resisted successfully the onrush of the revolutionary tide. If the Church was as virile and pre~ dacious politically as Culles pro- claims it to 'be, his Government would not last longer than a 3: bill in one of your New York night clubs. Doesn't that sound reason- able? The Church was not interfer- ing with Caller. It couldn't. for Calico has the guns and the Church . hasn't. “z—Jl‘hls ravening against the ' Church is merely a logical, but some- what retarded. development of the . revolutionary program.

In more than a century. what have the various civil Governments of Mexico done to educate the people? Virtu- ally nothing. What ls‘Calles doing? Hardly. more one on paper. ,Who founded the principal institutions of higher learning in Mexico? The Catholics. The best schools in Max- ico are—or were. until Calico shut them up—the Church schools. The average Mexican who can afford it either ships his children out of the country to be educated. or sends them to the Church schools in Mex- ico. He puts them into the Church school, not because of religious con- sideration but on account of the su- perior scholastic advantages they offer over the Government schools. Jealousy of the superiority of the Catholic schools and a desire to force the children who attend the latter into the Federal schools is partly responsible for the padlock- ing of the Church schools. What has the Calles Government to offer in the stead of the Church schools which have been put out of busi- ness? Nothing. “i—Outside of Calles and his inti- mate circle of ‘yssmen' there was absolutely no demand for the rigor- ous enforcement ordered by him of the anti-Church clauses in the rev- olutionary Constitution. Not one per cent of the people gave s. hurrah in hell one way or the other. Power always goes to a. Mexican's head— to the heads of most folks. in fact. Look at Frank (‘Norvous Nellie’) Kellogg and the Karolyl case. Cellos is on top and he is grinding the faces of the Catholics in the grit because he can. and he doesn't like them anyway. If the Mexican Catholics were in the driver's seat they'd be putting the bud to Callss as he is lacing it into them. “B—Thls anti-Catholic movement —and right here. Dr. Broun. we come to the real bug under the chip —will serve as an excuse for trying to steal considerable real property of various m..which-‘the Govern- ment has reason 'for believing has been ascumulated more or less cov- ertly by representatives of the Church since 1867 (I am not sure of the date. but it happened about that time). when the then Government of Mexico. figuratively speaking. held up the Church by the heels and shook every centavo of its real wealth out of its pockets. Most of the proceeds. consisting "of rich farming and productive urban prop- . erty. were either bestowed outright. or nominally sold at s'. small frac- tion of its value. to deserving pa- , trlots. Many of the huge present- day fortunes of aristocratic families in Mexico were founded upon these malvsrsions of the mid-nineteenth . century. It's the old army game." CDMPD GUARDS DUllNG HElD YBTERDAY The Life Guards at Comp‘o Beach gathered at Alban's Grove. yester- day afternoon and evening and en- joyed themselves in many ways. There were about as present but the guards expected so and the extra portions were used by the guards in a most enjoyable fashion. They threw them at each other and more than one guard got a mouthful of an unexpected dinner. One of the big features of the day was a baseball ."lfll. between nine men captained by Eddie Quinn and another nine under the stain- cy of Earl nnbbeli. ”the ubboll nine was trounud by the Quinn outfit by a score so large that no could keep track of it.

Young Brahmin Mystic “=5. , Mrs. Annie Decent and Krishnamurti NEW YORK—Jlddu Krishnamur- ti. the occult “vehicle of God." little relishes playing that curiosity-chal- lenging role here in boisterous. ir- reverent, skeptical America. The “vehicle" came to New York with cold sweat on his thin. pinched brow. He came with a q‘uavcring voice. with nervously twitching hands: with a longing. obviously. to be elsewhere —say back in one of his "retreats" in India. He came with few words to phrase his “message"; words spoken in ex- cellent English. to be sure. but spoken with faltering reluctance. The "vehicle" is alarmed people misunderstand. He is devastated when addressed as a new Christ orLMessiah. For he is but a "vehicle"—that's all. Jiddu hovers close to his venerable spbnsor and foster mother. Mrs. Annie Besant. Mrs. Bosnnt To Lecture. It was Mrs. Besant. leader of one factionsof the Theosophlsta of the world. who first saw vehicular possi— bilities in the fragile young Brah- min. She took him under her matronly wing and trained him in the way she thought the potential incarnation of the Nameless One should go. Chicago is to be honored with the first formal appearance of Mrs. Besant and the "vehicle" in their American sojourn. Chicago receives them as the out- standing delegates to a national con- vention of Mrs. Besant's Theosoph< .lcal followers. ‘ Then for Mrs. Besant a lecture tour is to ensue. Krishnamurti will lest and headed for Compo Beach where they held a football game and after each raised a good sweat the entire group dashed into the water for a swim.

Whether’tllere will be public exemp- iltlcatlons _ot Jiddu's vehicular divini- ty may depend on the response which Mrs. Besant's lectures evoke. There are but loosely drawn lines about the quality of doctrine and creed which Krishnamurti sdvo» cates. Largely it is a gospel of brother- hood tolerance. Samaritanism, and dcsirelessness. There is a Jolt in its deslrslessnoss phase for those whose Christianity is more ancient of days—for Krish- namurti would not have the individ- ual desire even to go to Heaven. Will Nor Criticise. But those who can't quite see their way clear to putting away all seliish desire receive from him no criticism. Krishnamurti is non-critical. “They talk of American life as being Jessy. pleasure-loving. yes." he hazards. when hard-pressed. “I think that to want nothing for self —to want only for others—is more important. But I do not condemn. do you understand?" The eyes of this timorous svsngei from the Himalayas come nearest. in his outward makeup. to impress- ing the uninitiated. Dark. lustrous eyes. they flash with anger animation at such times as Krishnamurti is able to loose his tongue. But these times were few during the early hours of his present Amer- ican visitation. This "vehicle of God." one gathers. will suffer many pangs if he is called on while here to face in the flesh the barrages of 1926 dubiety and skepticism. MRS.
