MEXICAN CATHOLICS MUST GO INTO TEXAS TO CELEBRATE MASS
(Australian and N.Z. Pvqss Association) Received 9.12 a.m. VALENTINE (Texas), Tuesday. The Australian boy tourists visited Juarez, in Mexico, where they were tendered a luncheon by leading business men. The meal was composed entirely of Mexican national dishes. The twelve Catholic members of the party witnessed the unusual sight, for them, of over 10,000 Mexican Catholics crossing the Rio Grande from Mexican territory to El Paso, Texas, to attend mass. It was explained that this resulted from the Mexican ban on the celebration of mass, and migration occurred every Sunday at points where Catholic churches are situated in adjacent American territory. In a signed statement published in the newspapers to-day the President of Mexico, Senor Emilio Portes Gil, accuses the Roman Catholic Church elements of fomenting trouble in Mexico. He announces that their estates will be confiscated in an effort to quell their activities against the Government. The confiscated estates will be distributed among the peasants.
