MEXICO FATHER BEARS CHURCH STRIFE BURDEN Parent Enmeshed in Clash of Orders by Bishops and State. Thi* f the fourth and last of * erle* on the reltgloua situation in Mexico. BY JACQUES D’ARM AND edited Press Staff Correspondent • Copyright. 1935. bv United Press* MEXICO CITY. Jan. 31—Upon the Mexican head of family, the father of children of school age. has fallen the greatest weight of the recently intensified church-state conflict in Mexico. Mexico's compulsory education law makes it mandatory upon parents to send their children to public or approved school curricula and refuses licenses to private schools that do not conform. On the other hand, a pastoral letter recently isued by Archbishop Ruiz Y Flores, papal delegates to Mexico, forbids all Catholic parents to send their children to such schools under pain of excommunication. the church's mast rigid punishment. Situation in Deadlock With approximately 95 per cent of Mexican parents members of the Catholic Church, the situation is regarded as one that must bring about a crisis in the church-state deadlock. Parents must either openly defy the constituted law of the republic by rci'ising to send their children to school or incur the penalties of canonical law. In either case the parent incures the wrath of civil or ecclesiastical authority. The pastoral letter, issued from San Antonio, Tex., where Archbishop Ruiz Y Flores is exiled and under indictment on charges of fomenting rebellion in Mexico, left no doubt as to the determination of the church to use all its power to combat socialistic education. In forceful language it denies the right of the government to interefere in family contiol of the child's education. A section of the letter says: “The church recognizes no human power to prevent it from doing what it considers necessary to save souls. In spritual matters it is subordinate to no one. The ideal situation would be a harmonious one with the church united with the state for the general good, but where this is denied, the church will tolerate separation of the two powers only so long as the civil power does not interfere in what does not concern it. Church in Mourning “We definitely prohi'-'if Catholics tinder the penalty < ’ cur ring sanctions establish .nical law from learning. r effectively co-opera ling or teaching what, i i.stic education, to wit: ti id Delongs to the state a, to the family, that the educ..;,".i of the child should strive by all means to uproot from the soul of the child all religious ideas, event to the existence of God. Wherefore, we definitely forbid Catholics from opening or supporting schools in which socialism is taught, and also prohibit Catholic fathers from sending children to such schools.” The letter also bars all members of the National Revolutionary party from receiving the holy sacrament or participating actively in any religious ceremony and forbids Catholics to incur unusual expense or indulge in extravagant amusement, adding that “the church is in mourning.” Church Schools Closed All schools heretofore operated directly or indirectly by the church have closed definitely. Foreign schools operated privately, including American. English, German and French institutions, have remained closed since the Christmas vacations pending issuance of instructions from the Federal Department of Education containing regulations under which they will be allowed to operate. - Most of them have announced that they will reopen in compliance with the socialistic education Jaw. Catholic parents accept the situation with various emotions. Some of them, mostly American Catholics. are entering their children in schools in the United States. Others who can not afford to take such action are hoping for a turn in the situation that will enable them to educate their children and keep peace with both church and state.

FOES OF CHILD LABOR TO PUSH ORIVEFOR BILL 16 States Needed to Ratify Amendment; Four Refuse. By Scrippe-Hovsaril Seicepaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Jan. 31—Backers of the Child Labor Amendment, disappointed but undiscouraged by adverse action in four states, today redoubled their efforts to obtain the 16 ratifications still needed. Utah's Lower House rejected the amendment this week by two votes. The Texas Senate turned it down, 10 to 18. The New York Senate’s judiciary committee refused to vote out the amendment despite a determined fight for it by Gov. Herbert H. Lehman. The proposal also was defeated in Tennessee yesterday. Friends of the amendment pointed out that reconsideration was possible in Utah, where the Senate has voted to ratify, 18-4; in Texas, where only one house has acted, and in New York, where the rejection was only by a committee. Twenty states ratified the amendment prior to 1935. Legislatures are now meeting in 24 states which have not ratified. These are—besides New York, Texas, Tennessee and Utah: Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana,

Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts. Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico. North Carolina, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota. Vermont and Wyoming. Governors of 12 of these states have urged ratification. “We are hoping that enough states will ratify to win this 10year campaign this year,” Miss Katherine F. Lenroot, Children’s Bureau chief, said today, “The issue is very live in all parts of the country, particularly the South and West.” In view of NRA’S uncertain future. crusaders of child welfare are worried. They point out that the 500-odd codes have outlawed labor by children under 15. Should code provisions lapse, regulation of child labor would fall back upon the states. And only four states now have working-age minimums as high as the 16-year code standard. In eight states children between 14 and 16 may work 9 to 11 hours a day. According to Miss Lenroot. “adjustments to the higher standards of the codes have been made without injury to business, and without swamping our school system.” “Child labor through this period of surplus labor has been found to be economically as well as socially undesirable.” she said. “The Dart of wisdom would seem to be to complete the job by assuring Congress the power to enact such safeguards as conditions require.” Power Board Chief Confirmed By United Prr,** WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. The Senate late yesterday approved appointment of Frank R. McNinch as Federal Power Commission chairman after bitter debate over his qualifications.
