'ACHIEVEMENTS | ' Mexican President Will De scribe Term’s Work In 1, Congress Message I Mexico city, Aug. s. (av | President Portes Gil will summarize | the achievements of his administra I tiono In s message to congress at | the opening of the regular sessioon Sept. 1, five months prior to the dste on which the provisional chief executive is to turn over the reins of government to his successor, to be chosen in the national elections Hot. IT. In his message the youthful pres ident. now in his early thirties, will lay stress on several of the accom plishments of his nine months old administration, which has been by outstanding constructive endeavors as well as one of the most turbulent periods In recent Mexican history. He will embody in his message the Official report of General Plutarco Bias Calles on the campaign against the Escobar rebels in March and April of this year, giving his predecessor in office the Lion's share of the credit for the rapid de feat of that movement. The report will give official figures on the cas ualties and financial losses sus tained during the rebellion and re veal other aspects of the revolution as yet unpublished. Church Question lip Oofng Into another phase of his government's activity, the president will deal with the settlement of the three year church-state controversy, announced Jpne 21 in simultaneous statement* by the head of the gov ernment and Archbishop Leopoldo Rule y Flores, papal delegate to Mexico. He will lay stress on the Pacification of the country as a re sult of this settlement, which brought about the end of guerilla welfare waged by Crlstero bands over a period pf some 35 months, and will set forth that the country la at peace, ready to devote itself to the gigantic task of reconstruction. Among other accomolishments of his administration. tm president will refer to the cessation of govern ment control over the national uni versity. which was made an auton omous Institution under Joint stu dent-teacher management by pres idential decree a few weeks ago. He wUl gq into detail on the anti alcohol campaign which he person ally Initiated and which now is be aconducted by a national com ee constituted under his direc tion. The campaign, the president will point out. is based cm "persua * '■ion” rather than prohibition, the mttp being to Interest the people in uplifting dversions and productve occupants and thus wean them away from the "pulqueria” and the drink habit. Difference of Opinion There has been some difference of opinion as to the real nature of the campaign. Inasmuch as the pres ident some time ago recommended eventual prohibition of the manu facture. sale or consumption of liquor of high alcoholic content, and several state governments have es tablished prohibitive taxes on estab lishments selling liquor. Formulation and presentation to the present extraordinary’ session of congress of a projected national labor law also will come in for prominent mention In the execu tive’s message. The labor measure has created more general Interest any other act of the Portes Gil administration and has been equally defended and attacked. The pres ident. who drew up the project when he was minister of the interior in the Galley government, has asserted It fills one of the country's greatest and Is one of the outstanding developments ol the Mexican revo- j lutlon. Extension of facilities for educa tion in the rural districts and sev eral other items of interest will be mentioned in the message. Face Election Task The present administration has at least one great trial still to face, the task of conducting an orderly general election Nov. 17 falling to its lot. In this ejection the people will be called upon to select a suc cessor for the provisional president and th« latter has declared that not only will he insure the people’s right to vote as they wish but he will gladly turn over his office to the J man chosen to succeed him. accept ing thereafter whatever post the na- j tion wishes to confer on him. how ever humble it may be. There is now no indication of trouble in connection with the elec-! tion and General CaU;s. still looked upon as the strong man of Mexico, has judged the situation so prom ising as to allow him to make a long desired trip to Europe. He is re cuperating from a bothersome ill ness and holding conferences for financial reorganization of the na tional railways, a task which the beard of directors assigned to him. -j- - n~L~u~LTurura~ _r _~._r_r_ru~i_r _r _r _r^-_r, - _n_--^j~_rxj~uru~iJ~ J~un_-\j~uri_-u~uJLJiJL^_iaj'u~-WjLJT-jriJ~i_ ~ _r_n_~ _m AS POPE PIUS BROKE VOLUNTARY PAPAL IMPRISONMENT Tru-irui r - - -- _ _ . -_ll-nrini____ __ iuciQTJXJuruxr\jnjnjnj^.rwru-ir^.-j-u-i_ru-uii. ri.oniiii^~M^aninrTL‘-“H|Mflll^^*^^l^,*>,^,***l^il1 m "***'* ■fc^^fc^fc^**^^*****^^*1*** .....'ll" ^' II ..
