THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, APRIL 19, 1920 Mexico City, April 13.--In one of the most frank and most detailed expressions of the Mexican Govern- ment since the dispute with the Catholic Chureh bhegam, President Calles said yenerdey that Mexico was engaged in a struggle to estab. Mah the supremacy of eivil govern. ment, "We are not making an antl- religious campaign,' he sald. "But we are determined that religious bodies shall pot stir up strife, "The Catholic priesthood In the past in Mexico has engaged in po- Wtical propaganda. Priest in vari. ous cases now. are directing rebel. llon against the government.' President Calles was asked if re« ports were true that 50 priests had been shot for complicity in the re- volt, "Possibly that is quite true," he replied. "We effected regulations require ing all priests to register with the government and also to abstain from political agitation and meet. ings outside of their church work, We ordered also that they abstain from wearing their priestly robes publicly, o priests refused to obey, They declined to conduet services in the churches, The result has been that for 30 months the people have not had fore | | mal Catholie service," Asked if priests had been denied the right to vote. Calles veplied: Should be Denied "Yes, Catholic priests should be denied the right to vote, and also the right to citizenship. The mo- ment they are subject to a foreign allegiance--that is from the mo- ment their allegiance to the power of Rome ranks in their spirit above their allegiance to their country," Explaining the registration regu- lations further, President Calles sald: "The measure is an interior de partment one. We do mot know how many priests there are in Mex- fco. The government never know, We did not intend to use the regis. tration to interfere in the internal affairs of the Catholic organission, The government does not desire to assign priests to particular territor. fos or to dietpte promotions, our property. "We shall not silow the Catho- | |B lic hierarchy to subordinate the state to religion, "What would your country think || it Catholics in political parties uni. ted to make it subservient to the || Vatican? "I think a priest of your nation. || ality might be the first to object, because they would be natiopals first. We are trying to make Mexi- can priest Mexicans first, : "Many foreign priests in Mexico in the past have taken money from the people by extortion snd threats, solely for the benefit of churches, Mexicans own only one-third of the wealth of the country, Of that one third the church owns 60 per cent, Foreign' priests mean a calam- ity for us. Our law says that for- eign priest cannot officiate, One bundred of them have been expell- ols! for taking part in the rebellion, Six other native bishops have left of their own accord, "Our native clergy are badly trained, This may be the origin of oll our dificyities, They sre limit- ed culturally, due to 8 method of training 100 yesrs behind our time, We found in some towns more of 15,000, "Under present regulations, lo- esl authorities can impose 8 limit of one priest to each 10,000 peo- ple.

"For the upper class is reactionary and the lower is insufi. educated." was asked if the govesn. ment was solvent. "We are covering our obliga. tions," he responded. "Our idea is to pay our foreign creditors in full; but we now are making an adjustment of our foreign debt to permit Mexico to meet her debts within the limits of her economie capacity. A commission of experts now is meeting to fix that capacity. "We desire foreign capital to in- terest itself in Mexico. We ask only that capitalists who come here should be asked to respect our laws, and not place themselves in a privileged position, claiming more rights than Mexico's dwn citi. gens." : WINTER RETURNS TO THE PRAIRIES Winnipeg, April 18.--Winfer again holds sway throughout the Prairie Provinces, with heavy snow. falls, storms of near blizzard pro. portions and sharp dips in tempera. ture, offered on the most unseasons able April weather menu in years, The snowfall which covered a wide aorea, reached its maximum depth in the Qu'Aepplle district of Saskatchewan where more than five inches were reported.
