MEXICO APPLES CENSORSHP BAN Would Avoid Exciting or Exalting Clerical Senti- ment Says Order. L | By the Associated MEXICO CI January 29 deral government last night lished censorship on all classes of com- munications “in order to avoid exciting or exalting clerical sentiment.” accord- ing to the censorship order which was signed by Under Secretary of Commu- nications Mariano Cabrera 55 The t the time of its application no dis- | orders or trouble had been reported A proposal that the recently enacted religious law, limiting the number of priests in the Mexican federal district to one to each 50,000 inhabitants, be extended to the entire country was made to the Legislative Electoral Con- gress today. Another proposed measure would give the state entire responsi- bility for education and close all private | schools. After a brief debate the propos: | were referred to an_executive commit- tee of the National Revolutionary (ma- Jority) party for consideration. Recent application of a law limiting | the number of priests in the federal district, including Mexico City, to one to every 50,000 inhabitants, gave rise to fears in some quarters that religions | trouble might ensue. The city was left virtually priestless and churches were opened in charge of lay custodians only. Archbishop Orozco y Jiminez of Guadalajara disappeared from his dfo- cese several days ago and there were rumors he had been deportec by the Mexican government. _He appeared yesterday in El Paso, Tex., where he applied-for permission to remain in the United States six months, but gave no Teason for being fn this country. JAPAN'S COTTON PURCHASES RAISE QUESTION OF MOTIVE (Continued From First Page) Commerce Department figures on the total value of exports and imports of the United States. During the month American shippers exported $183,577,629 worth of goods, and imports totaled $152,940.444. Ex- ports declined to all countries except Japan and China during December, as compared with December, 1930. Shipments to China last month totaled $13,713.201, compared with $7- 243977 in December, 1930, and to Japan, $18.445200, compared with $12,- | 592,599. " Shipments to Hongkong were $1.417,211, compared with $1,508,985. | It is understood that the Commerce Department has asked the customs | service of the Treasury Department to ascertain what was the principal type | of automobile purchased by Japan dur- ing the last month. In November this | country only exported 300 automobiles and trucks to Japan. Increase Gasoline Purchases, At the same time the Japanese in- creased its gasoline purchases, accord- ing to the department figures. For the month of December 195,000 barrels of gasoline was exported from this coun- | try to Japan, as compared with 105,000 | barrels during November, China only purchased 216 automo- biles during December, which amounts to about the same number purchased | during the previous month. The Chi- | nese, however, increased their demand for airplanes, bunying 43 during Decem- ber in comparison with 36 in November. | The number of airplanes purchased | here by Japan in December was not available at the department Commerce Department officials sald today they have been unable to as- certain as to what use Japan was go- ing to make of its heavy cotton ship- ments, They refused to discuss the munitions angle. They did, however, advance reasons: First, because of the low price of cot- ton prevailing in this country. | Second, because of a shortage of the staple in the British and China fields. Immediate Delivery Demanded. Shortly after Japan started its military activity in Manchuria it be- came known here that its agents were exceedingly active in the Southwest cotton belt. It was then reported that Japan had bought more thar 1,000,000 bales of cotton for immediate delivery. Reports received from Oklahoma at that time indicated that Japanese agents were paying as high as $10 a | bale premium for immediate delivery. Similar reports were received here from Houston and it was generally rumored in the cotton trade that Japan was purchasing the staple for muni- | tions purposes. However, the Japanese embassy here said no unusual activity among Japanese cotton agents had come to its attention and it also denied that Japan was in the market for cotton for munitions purposes. The embassy explained, however, that if there was a heavy movement of cot- ton to Japan that it was probably due to Japanese manufacturers taking advantage of the 6-cent cotton market here. | Snake Dancer Social Star.

United States to Assign Another Sub- marine for Bellevue Experiments.

Until recently one undersea craft has been | at the laboratory and another subma- rine is expected to be assigned to this work in the Spring. Capt. Edgar G.

He said at an Albany Chamber of Commerce dinner last night that cut- | ting of salaries by private industry was only an equalizing process and that so far as State employes were concerned the salaries had been low in 1928 and 1929. The Governor, a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, cut $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 if the Legislature agreed to drop some of the projects provided for by existing law.
