LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future'greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one wray that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and. that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

STRUGGLE BETWEEN
MEXICAN SITUATION OUTCOME
OF STRUGGLE WHICH BEGAN
MORE THAN SEVENTY YEARS
! AGO
•_
MEXICO CITY, Nov. 19.(/P)—The
struggle between the Mexican govern
ment and the Roman Catholic church
in Mexico is the most recent climax
of a more or less active controversy
that has been smouldering for seven
ty years.
The church has battled with one of
its most powerful weapons, which has
been described as virtually a “partial
interdict,” by the withdrawal of all
priests from participation in their of
fices. The government has answered
by placing lay committees in charge
of the structures and permitting un
interrupted entrance to their congre
gations.
The church’s supporters, principal
’ ly the League for the defense of reli
gious liberty, has called up Mexico’s
10,000,000 or more Catholics to carry
on an “economic boycott” and to re
duce to a minimum their purchases
and pleasure seeking activities.
In general the country has appear
ed calm, although the closing of the
churches on the night of July 31,
when the priests left them, and the
subsequent inventories taken by the
. civil authorities, have resulted in
some fighting and bloodshed.
The attitude of the government as
expressed by President Calles and his
supporters is that the Church and
State must be separated, and that the
Catholic hierarchy must cease inter
ferring in politics. The church, thru
Archbishop Moraly del Rio and other
leading prelates, has denied that it
has meddled in politics, and asserts
that its life and freedom are being
threatened by a hostile government.
The Pope, himself, has been deeply
affected by the struggle and has of
fered his personal prayers for allevia
tion of the “persecution” under which
his Mexican flock is felt to have suf
fered.
The government regulations in
brief follows:
No foreign ministers of any reli
gion may function in Mexico; church
ownership of property is forbidden
and all such property reverts to the
state; religious instruction in schools
is forbidden; religious orders, such as
convents and monasteries are forbid
den; priests and ministers are forbid
den to participate in politics or to
hold political meeting, to criticize the
government or criticize and oppose
the Constitution, laws or* acts of the
government or to incite others to do
so; outdoor religious ceremonies are
forbidden as well as the wearing by
priests of their religious robes out
side of their churches or residents;
" periodicals of a religious nature are
■ forbidden to comment on the govern
• ment’s acts or to print news concern
* ing the actions of the government.
Punishments may range from a fine
1 of 500 pesos, or fifteen days imprison
J ment or both up to six years imprison
J ment or “additional” punishment as
J the court may care to impose. Trial
2 by jury in these cases is not provid
21 ed.
Those last few days before the hour
dreaded by devout Catholics came,
were productive of some of the most
dramatic scenes in the history of Mex
ico. Thousands of worshippers, start
led by the realization that their
priests no longer would be available
for their offices, flocked to their
churches. Rich and poor, gently
