GENERAL CAMACHO
ISSUES STATEMENT
President-Elect Stirs Mexi
co by Disavowing Social
ism and Spurning Com
munistic Support
By CHARLES BETICO
(Mexico City Correspondent, N. C. W.
C. News Service)
MEXICO CITY — A remarkable
and wholly unexpected authorized
statement by General Manuel Avila
Camacho, who has been declared by
the Mexican Congress as the next
President of Mexico, succeeding La-
zaro Cardenas, has stirred intense
discussion throughout political circles
in this country.
Four striking assertions in General
Camacho’s statement are:
First, that he is a Cathoilc be
liever, by origin and moral sentiment.
Second, that Communists will not
take part in his government and, in
fact, will wane because their princi
ples are opposed to the national senti
ment.
Third, that he is not a Socialist, but
a believer in democracy, liberty and
economic well - being.
Fourth, that Lombardo Toledano,
powerful Mexican labor leader often
accused of being a Communist, will
not be a “collaborator” in the Cama
cho Gevernment.
On all these counts, General Cama
cho’s statement is extraordinary. In
the presidential election campaign, it
was General Almazon, opponent of ,
General Camacho, who stressed as
one of the planks in his platform that
under him justice would be done the
Catholic Church. Furthermore, Cam
acho, a candidate of the Mexican Rev
olutionary Party, was supported by
President Cardenas, who had vigo
rously pushed laws unfavorable to
the Catholic Church.
It is also to be recalled that the
charge was frequently made against
Cardenas that he included Commu
nists in his government and that such
radical steps as the promotion of So
cialistic teaching in the official school
curriculum were taken in his re
gime.
. REV. RUSSELL I. WILBUR, con
vert to Catholicism, close friend of
President Theodore Roosevelt, and a
nationally-known authority on social
work and social problems died in
St. Louis, August 24-
Father Wilbur was deeply interested
in social problems even as a stu
dent for the Protestant Episcopal
ministry. Following his reception into
the Catholic Church and his ordina
tion to the priesthood, he continued
and extended his interest-
Blyth, brothers of the groom,, acted
as ushers.
Following the ceremony and the
Nuptial Mass, a wedding breakfast
was served at the Francis Marion Ho
tel.
Mr. Blyth, who is employed aat the
Charleston Navy Yard, is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Leslie A. Blyth.
