'THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MEXICO LAUNCHES UPLIFT MOVEMENT Peasants to Be Protected Against Social and Indus- trial Holdback. By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, July 11.—The gov- ernment of President Lazaro Cardenas inaugurated today an ambitious pro< gram to improve the social and eco- nomic conditions of the Mexican peasant classes. Instructing the national revolu- i | tionary party to form a confederation of 900,000 farmers who have re- ceived land from the government, the President pledged passage of laws to provide farmers against crop losses, and said that peasants would be pro- vided with accident and life insurance. Small Holders Protected. Of the peasant confederation, Car- denas said: “Formation of this organization will, in the political order, provide small landholders protection from the grave injuries caused by sterile personalistic struggles; in the economic order it will definitely free them from the dis- organization and misery in which they are living; in the social order it will raise them to an active factor capable of obtaining the conquests for which we have been struggling.” The national revolutionary party will supervise formation of the organi- zation and also will draw up the new insurance bills. After groups have been formed in the various states, a national convention will be held to formulate a definite program, New Policy Indicated. The President’s order was inter- preted to indicate & new policy, con- centrating on improving the lot of the farming class, which makes up more than two-thirds of the country’s pop- ulation of 16,000,000, would be pur- sued by the government, in contrast to the program of former President Plutarco Elias Calles. Gen. Calles, who retired from poli- tics four weeks ago after a dispute with Cardenas, supported a program beneficial to workers and encouraging to small industry. Although the agra- rian program was not forgotten, there was no particular effort in behalf of the peasants. MANXMEN TO MEET Qualified D. C. Residents Invited to Cleveland August 13-18.

There is a telephone operator at the Federal Emergency Relief Administration named Marcia G MAN WORRIES. "THE Justice Department's “G" men have many curious cases brought to their attention, but the oddest of its kind undoubtedly is that of a man who wrote the following ex- tortion letter to a college professor: “If you don't pass everybody above 85 per cent in the class of 3-C-4 in bookkeeping you won’t be living after the report cards come out, because I'll shoot you and your wife or I'll | 8o to college and I'll get your daugh- ter. So you better wise up and pass all of them about 85 per cent or above, but not below. (Signed) Father of a Student. “P. 8. I mean everything I said in this letter or Il burn your house in the night.” The records do not show whether the warning was heeded. The threat- ened punishment, however, did not oceur. * k ¥ ¥ CAPITOL BEACON.

The illumination is provided by four 500-watt incandescent lights. The lights are snapped off the instant a motion for adjournment carries. Before the dawn of the electric era, an oil-burning lantern was hung in the tower of the Capitol dome to let the public know Con- gress was in night session. - x x o JUST “TINY.” T WASHINGTON-HOOVER Alr- port one of the principal attrac- tions the other day was & huge Great Dry’s Many Filters™ - eteommeis CANADA DRY THE CHAMPAGNE OF GINGER ALES The appearance of Canada Dry on the scene of en- tertaining is always a high spot of the evening.
