Peoiw Driven Over Hordcr
By .Mexican Land Allotments
MKXICO CITY. (AP) Para
doxical ns It may seem, the first
effect of the national agrarian pro
gram, Intended to provide a bit or
land for each of Mexico's long
downtrodden peons, is lo swell the
tide of emigrants to tho United
Stales, according to Cesar Cordoba,
general secretary of tho National
Agrarian commission.
This emigration, says Mr, Cor
doba, results from tho fact that
wealthy land -owners, when they
learn that their peons have peti
tioned tho national government for
land, conspire, with venal authori
ties to institute a veritable reign
of terror against the petitioners.
Without money or work the peons
are unable to remain until the red
tape cnvolving a division of lands
is unwound, and are forced to mi
grate. Mr. Cordoba maintains, however,
that data in the files of the com
mission shows that the real cauN'
of Mexican emigration Is lack of
land find that there Is virtually no
emigration from sections where the
good effects of tho agrarian laws
liavo been fell. ,

two and a half billion dollars a
year, according to W. J. Overbeck.
superintendent of the UuPont com

"This sum spent annually to
counteract the ravages or corrosion
and rust will give a fair Idea of
the total bill the world js paying
for the slow decay of metals used
in Industrial work which are nit
protected against I hem," he de
clared. "It Is a vital matter be
cause the yearly waste Is making
the Iron ore resources of the world

tion by, unofficial vote of 5-47 to
540 declared itself against a plat
form plank naming the Ku Klux

laration against tolerance.
The platform was perfected at
2 o'clock Sunday morning, when,
amid scenes of confusion seldom
paralleled in tho party (history,
plank condemning the klan by
namo was pronounced rejected by
a narrow margin.
Tho convention also rejected a
plank advocating tho league of

previously to tho klan. question by
adoption of a plank reaffirming in
general terms only the - party's
faith In the league of nations., .
