A war with Jugoslavia might very | easily extend itself into a war with France; and few level-headed people would back Italy to. win out in such an undertaking. For another thing, the fascist gov- ernment is, apart from Turkey, de- voting an amazing amount of atten- tion to the East; is, apparently, dreaming a Napoleonic dream of a new Eastern empire. The idea of succeeding France as mandatory of Syria has by no means been abandon- ed. The new foothold in the Yemen is thought of as the prelude to the ultimate acquisition of all Arabia. Fascist propaganda is intense Egypt and in Persia. Balkan War Possible. All these indications suggest the Anatolian rather than the Balkan ad- venture: and indicate that Turkish avxiety is exceedingly well-founded.

However, the “labor battalions” jnever were organized, the report con- | | tinues with undisguised satisfaction, | and the government of Mexico is not a “socialist government, not even a labor government.” | Tracing the labor movement in the | jsouthern republic, the report recites the overthrow of the Carranza gov- ernment in May, 1920, and the name of Adolfo de la Huerta as provisional | president. In the election immedi- lately following Obregon was elected |president to fill the next constitution- al term that began Dec. 1, 1920. | “It is said that an understanding was reached that General Plutarco E. Calles should suceeed Obregon as |president, and that Obregon should return to that office in 1928,” the executive council reports. “De la] Huerta is said to have developed an| unexpected popularity, which Calles was unpopular with the army, with- out which the chances of success were \negligible.” | Jeer At Mexican Politics. | | The general tenor of the report, | \altho in some parts formally friend: to the present government of Mexic apes the ordinary “comie supplement” | attitude of the American press, in re- garding Mexican politics as a joke, and the rival parties as merely rival military leaders. | “De la Huerta started a rebellion| jagainst Obregon,” the report contin- | jues. “This rebellion was opposed by |General Calles, who espoused and lmost enthusiastically advocated’ the lcause of the agrarians.
