By the Associated Press MEXICO CITY, October 4 —Plutarco Elias Calles, country school teacher, who became President and declined to be dictator, may go to teaching school again He will not be called professor if he accepts the new job offered him when he leaves the presidency November 30. His school will not be listed in any de- rtment of education. His title will head of a new political party, his job | the political organization of the people. But, actually, it will be a new kind of school teaching—all the Mexican Re- Puhlic for a classroom, all its 15,000,000 inhabitants as pupils. The blackboard will be the election ballot, the lesson Calles will try to teach will be that enormous and complicated one of do- mestic constitutional government and To Keep Progressives. Calles has been asked to become the leader and director of a proposed new|‘ “Gran Partido Naclonal,” dedicated to preserve the “revolutionary principles” of the Obregon-Calles governments of the past eight years, to co-ordinate the various “revolutionary parties,” to argue with political - opponents instead of pumping them fuli of bullets, actually to recognize and incorporate wil their group conservative minorities, teach the people what politics based upon freedom of principles and demo- cratic elections means—and to bring about such political campaigns and government. ‘That is the ambitious plan. Calles is actually, although not in these words, | being asked to organize and direct a school of government for all the people of Mexico, and to be professor of ap- plied politics. The man they ask to do this taught his first school as a lad in ora, in & one-robm ‘dobe shack with & few dozen Indian boys and girls as puglh s alles’” new job, if he accepts it, will be to get 15,000,000 le, many illiter- ate and a bunch of ambitious political bosses and military chieftains to apply, for the food of the country, the prin- ciples of his farewell speech to Con- gress. In that speech he said, in effect, that Mexico must end the tradition of centuries that a “caudillo” or mili- overlord, only a “man on horse- back.” only an iron-fisted army boss can vern Mexico. He saild Mexico must learn and practice the ways of consti- tutional government, of democratic elec- tions and orderly political processes. In essence he sald Mexico must learn to be governed by ballots, not bullets and bayonets; to elect them by arguments, not armies; to determine political issues by princirlu and parties, not uprisings and- revolutions. And the new job offered Calles is only to teach Mexico how to do all that. No man knows better than Calles the mag- nitude of the task.

Practical Man. Calles is an idealist, but at the same time a singularly factual and practical man. He may doubt that he can change | very much within a few years the ideas, practices and heritages of centuries, but he has never shirked a job because it was hard or omitted effort because he might not succeed. Calles was told Mexieo would go ruin if he left the presidency. He was told armed fighting between followers of various ambitious military leaders He was told Mexico had to have a “strong man” at its head, and that he was that man, and the only one on hand after Obregon's death. Powerful piessure based on that argu- ment was brought to bear upon him. One night he said to a trusted friend: “That is the way every dictator has started. The way not to be a dictator is to quit in time. Every dictator began ! as a patriot, but listened, at last, to ar- guments his country could not get along 00| without him. Mexico must learn she can run without me, without any man, however much woe there may be in learning the lesson. Eventually the learning of it will be worth the cost. - I | know the situation. I know I could be | a dictator. I know I could continue my- self in power as long as I live. I know T could be another Porfirio Diaz. But I am not willing to sink that low. Mex- ico must commence, right now and with me, learning how to avold dictators.” After that Calles went home and wrote that portion of his congressional valedictory in which he pledged his word, not only to Mexico but to the family of nations, never to be President of Mexico again.

Watts, chief clerk of the Trees and Parkings Department of the District, as a forger three years ago were not attached to the Treasury De- partment, it was announced today by D. C.

Farrar said he is the only handwrit- ing expert at the Treasury, where he has been connected for 40 years, and that the case had not been referred to him. “Although my name was not men- tioned, it is well known that I am the only person in the Treasury who is depended upon for documentary de- te ation,” sald Farrar, the report that Watts was wrongfully ac- cused as & result of an_examination of the forced signature I have been injured in my pride and my conscience. “In cases where a man's liberty and reputation are at stake I am especially careful. I have made an exhaustive search of the records of the department and have asked every person connected with the secret service and am able to state that the case was not referred to any one in the department.” ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT.

Located in the fashionable Sheridan circle section, the legation wil be near the home of Mrs, Woodrow Wilson on S street and several blocks to the south- east from the new British Embassy now being erected on Massachusetts avenue near Observatory Circle.
