By the Assoeiated Press. NOGALES. Ariz. October 14.—A new outbreak of rebellion in Mexico started officials along the interna- tional border today to investigate whether there had heen any American casualties in the fighting near Guada- ra, Jaliscq.

Borah and others take the same view. Follows French Loan Action. The current flare-up over the ad- ministration policy results from the action of the State Department in officially notifying France that it would not object to refunding of the 100,000,000 8 per cent credit which France obtained here in 19 This notification went forward dur- ing the tariff discussions with France |in the hope that it would create a better Franco-American feeling and acilitate the negotiations looking to the removal of increased French duties on_American commodities. 5 For that reason Senator Borah with- drew his objection to the French re | tunding, but in doing so he made it | plain to Secretary Kellogg that he was | not approving the policy of the de- | partment and not withdrawing objec- tions to other such transactions. As the situation has been explained inofficially, the idea of granting or withholding ~ approval of private American loans to governments abroad came about during the period preced- ing the refunding of the war debts ain, Italy and other coun- tries, Hope to Facilitate Refunding.

Mr. Coolidge remarked to some of those with whom he discussed his | Pittsburgh trip that he enjoyed him- | self fully and felt bhenefited by the little break it afforded in his offcial routine. He was touched by the manner in which he and Mrs. Cool- idge were acclaimed by the people of Pittsburgh and the way in which his speech, in which he declared with vride that the great wealth of America is being used to | uplift humanity to a higher realm rather than being used merely for selfish indulgence and ostentatious luxury, was so well received. Comment was made by some in discussing the President's speech that | 1t was fortunate to select Pittsburgh, | one of the recognized industrial cen- | ters of America, for the delivery of a speech in which he was to emphasize | the spiritual advancement of the peo- ple of this couniry as well as their material development. Pittsburgh | takes pride in the fact that in its ac- | cumulation of great wealth, princi- | pally through the medium of iron and steel, it has done much in the matter of advancing education, the arts and science and the general spiritual wel- fare of its citizens. President Coolidge commented upon this while paying a tribute to the growth of this metropolis, but de- clared at the same time that the same commendable use of wealth and | prosperity is typical of the entire country. Tt is evident from the fact that the President has spoken of the spiritual uplift in the country in sev- | eral of his speeches during the past | vear that he is anxious to bring the Deople of this country to a greater appreciation of this condition and at the same time to bring the peopie of other nations to a realization that this Nation in its acquiring of dollars ha: I not neglected the finer things of | modern civilization.

STAND ON AGRICULTURAL RELIEF DELAYS BOOM Idahoan Declared to Have No Il- lusions as to Republican Nomination. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. | Senator William E. Borah of Idaho looms today as a likely ultimate selec- | tion of the newly organized and now |organizing Progressive Republican |&roup. intent npon picking a candi- date for President The group. in which Senator Borah himself is playing an important part, | has urged the nomination of Senator |George Norris of Nebraska, recog- | nized as the heir of the Progressive | leadership in the Senate of the late | Senator Robert M. La Follette of Wis consin. But there has been nothing final about the citoice of Senator Nor- |ris as the Progressive standard bearer. Indeed. Senator Norris hime self has declared he is not a candidate. While apparently willing 1o go along with his Progressive colleagues, he has evinced no great enthusiasm over the prospect of an active campaign for delegates to the next Republican national convention. Senator Borah. an outstanding figure in public life of the country for years, a progressive but not a radical, | has been in the back of the minds of many of his admirers as a presidential possibility. He was placed first on a list of four men whom Senator Norris announced he would he glad to sup. port for the presidential nomination. The others were Senator Hiram John. son of California, former Gov. Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania and Senator | Howell of Nebraska. Senator Norris | might be expected, therefore, to join heartily in support of the Tdaho Sen- ator if the Progressives decide. and | Senator permits his hat shouid be | cast in the ring. Farm Stand Delays Boom. The one factor which perhaps alone is holding up the launching of the Borah boom today is a desire to know just how far Senator Borah is willing to go in the matter of agricultural | relief. He voted in the last Congress against the McNary-Haugen bill, with ita equalization fee, doubting its con- stitutionality. But Senator Borah has { been one of the most out ‘mem. | bers of the Senate in the demand for legislation which shall help solve the agricultural probi of the country. nd knows its prob- lems. He has aligned himself within the last few days with a group in the | Senate which has been vociferous in lits demand for farm relief and. in | deed, for the passage of the NcNary- Haugen bill. It is not at all improbable that Senator Borah and the other members | of the group may find it possible to | get_together on 'a farm relief plan. | It has bee noticeable that some of the members of the group ave not | making the McNary-Haugen bill the | final test for presidential qualificatior. It that were the case, the members { of the group doubtless would be wil- ling to support such an outstandirg friend of the McNary-Haugen bill as former Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Tl nois, whose candidacy already has been advanced in a number of States. Or they might be willing te turn 1o | Vice President Dawes, another sup- porter of the principle of the McNary- Haugen bill. But neither Lowden nor Dawes is acceptable to them. They do not measure up as progressives, it is said. Borah Olassed as Progressive. Senator Borah. on the other hand, has been regarded for vears as a progressive. He has gone along with the other progressives of the Senate in many of their legislative fights. His voice has been potent. He is widelv known throughout the country, where his fame as an orator made a constan demand upon his time. He is cha man of the Senate foreign relations committee, one of the most important positions at the Capitol—a secretary of foreign affairs in the Senate cha | ber with whom the administration has to reckon. A few vears ago he led the fight against American adherence to -the | League of Nations. He was a bitter- ender. It was largely through his leadership that the Senate found it self in a posifion where the treaty of Versailles was rejected. He fought the World Court a year ago, along with others of the progressive group, and reservations were added which have caused the member nations ta withhold a weicome to the United States. | _ Perhaps never before has Senator Borah tied in with the progressive | group to the extent he has gone recent- |lv. He has played a lone hand so fre- | quently in the Senate, using his own judgment, that some of the progres: sives have dodged his leadership. But | He is of the West ! | during their sightseeing trip about | if he is now willing to assume that Pittsburgh saw the industrial sections | leadership. he probably will find the of th . its historical sites and its | group ready to follow him.
