MEXICAN LAND LAW DANGEROUS, U. S. BELIEVES Kellogg .Case Against Calles Consists of Many Complaints. By William Philip Simms Times Washinaton Bureau. 1522 New York Avenue. WASHINGTON, June 22.—What are some of the specific charges against Mexico underlying Secretary of State Kellogg’s strange and but thinly veiled threat against President Calles and his suggestion that anew revolution is brewing south of the Rio Grande? Calles is now engage*! in dividing up some of the large estates of Mexico among the 12,000,000 hitherto landless peasants. The case against him Is not that the new land laws are virtually confiscatory, however, but that they are executed in a way menacing to life, liberty and property. American and other land owners assert that while the twenty-eight state agrarian commissions remain more or less within the law in allocating land to the peasant groups, the local, or village committees to which is delegated the job of final division of the land, are often arbitrary and brutal. Under Dog Authorities These thousands of local committees are for the most part, pretty rough and ready citizens. Having been the under dog for generations, it is said they sometimes use their new-found modicum of power like tyrants. It is charged that many of these committees are scarcely more than armed bands. Not infrequently, it is alleged, they are accompanied by mobs of peons—likewise armed and with an exaggerated notion of what the land reform is intended to do—who canap on any land they like. When entire ranches are not thus expropriated, the best lands are taken, or that part of an estate which furnishes water to the rest, and so rendering the remainder useless. Bands of peasants, it is further stated, sometimes squat on a ranch of their own selection, call their community a village, then lay claim to the "ejidos,” or village common lands, which the new law gives to such communities. Again, it is claimed, shiftless peons have been induced to ask for land they do not want and cannot till. Then, after harvesting the already maturing crops and disposing of them, they move on. Under Dictator Diaz many large land owners lived like princes in Mexico City or abroad. The new laws of Mexico aim at minimizing absentee landlordism. Unworked

lands, or property on which taxes remain unpaid for a time, revert to the government. Owners Menaced Under this law, it is charged, a system of terrorism has sprung up in many parts of Mexico. Property owners are sometimes menaced, imprisoned or driven off in fear for their lives. Absence of unpaid taxes then furnishes an excuse for “legal” confiscation. Great Britain withdrew her diplomatic representatives from Mexico after a case of this nature. Mrs. Rosalie Evans, of American birth but widow' of an Englishman, was menaced for months on her ranch. She refused to go and was murdered one day while riding over her ranch in a buggy. George Camp, the American manager of the Evans estate which reverts to American heirs, claims his life is now Ip danger and an armed guard has feeen placed about the hacienda by the Mexican government. Owners of mining property have reported they were driven off by armed bands and kept away until their claims were "legally” seized for non-payment of taxes or failure to operate the mines. Lands expropriated for distribution among the peasants are to be pal dfor according to the law of seizure. land owners claim they either have not been paid at all, else have been paid in worth.ess Mexican bonds. Calles Must Change Land bordering navigable streams under Mexican Jaw, is public property. Private property stops within a few yards of the water line. Oil companies charge that after they have spent large sums of money drilling for oil, once they strike It the authorities dispose of the waterfront rights to others who drain it off the oil. Artificially constructed ditches, filled with rain water, it is claimed, have been declared navigable streams and oil rights disposed of accordingly. These are some of the charges behind a situation which—rightly or wrongly—President Calles will certainly be called upon to change.

WINNIPEG, Man.—Cultivation of hemp as a farm crop to provide binder twine for Canada s grain crops is being tried out in Manitoba. A Winnipeg fiber mill has dis tributed 700 bushels of hemp -seed Imported from Holland to farmers in the Red River valley in quantities sufficient to plant twenty-five acre plots to the crop on each farm selected. If the project proves successful, experts point out, the Dominion ma\ be able to grow enough hemp to supply binder twine for all its needs. At present Canada has to depend on imports for practically all of the twin 6 its farmers use at harvest time. Canada ranks second to the United States in the amount of binder twine consumed annually. The Dominion uses an average of from 80.000,000 to 100,000,000 pounds for each year’s grain crops, according to government statistics. Future requirements for binder twdne will increase steadily as greater acreage is brought under cultivation for grain in the prairie provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. Os 300.000,000 acres suitable for cultivation in the Dominion, only 60,000,000 are under plow. With increased settlement of land in the prairie provinces, the necessity of Canada's finding a way to produce its own binder twine is becoming more pressing.

Since the boy will not attain that age until the summer of 1928 he can not attend but is setting a safe precedent by applying three years ahead of time.
