GALLCUTT SPEAKS TO "Y" ON "MEXICO" Contends That United States Should Leave Mexico Alone MEXICO HOSTILE TO U.S.A. Economical Conditions of Mexico Discussed By Dr. W. H. Callcott That the United States should leave Mexico to attend her own affairs, or a' least adopt a new foreign policy, was the opinion expressed by Dr. W. H. Callcott in speaking at the "Y" meeting in chapel last Sunday night on the subject of Mexico." Mexico under the leadership of Diaz was discussed extensively. This ruler came into power in 1876 and the gov ermient under him fell in 1910 when he had become very old and the peon class under the leadership of Madero, a wealthy idealist, revolted. Mexico developed under the leadership of Diaz as it had never done before. Wealth and economic progress wa; his motto. "If you Want to be a hero in Mexi co. insult the United States," asserted the speaker. Henry Lane Wilsoii became U-'iitedi States ambassador in Mtexico following the reign of Diaz. The speaker claim ed that the American embassy was the seat of a true conspiracy against the Mexican government. "A iew constitution was drawn ilp which was to cause some of trouble continued the speaker, in telling of the government nder Diaz. It provided that the working day of the Mexican dhould be limited strictly to eight hour, and that over time pay should be paid for extra -work. The Catholics were to be treated very harshly according to the colstitition. Dr. Callcott told of the severe re strictions put on the Cat holics. and especially the clergy. It provided that no clergyman could vote, that if a .priest was caught wearing customary garb, that lie should be heavily finled. and that no church could own proper ty. He explained that under Diaz the churches had been owning 'property unconstitutionally. Mexico was described as being some what like the territory. around Spar tanbtrg, without its trees, containing a lot of brush, with no rain. It is. he continued. about one-fourth as largt as the United States and has a popu lation of about 3,000,000. In 1010 Wily about 15 per cent of the children were literate and now nearly 60 per cent are in school. "If you ask the business man about enditions in Mexico." continued the speaker." y'ou are likely' to be sur, prised.' H-e explained that thlei-- a nswe' would likely be very favorable and 'hat conditions ini Mexico were great ly improving, Hie added that the oit produtct ion wvas opening tup andl t hat lhe taxes on it paid by thle corpora - tions were usually low anid were by no means confiscatorv', as has been~ brought out in ,sonie reports. "[There were less taxes paid by thle corporations in Mexico last year oni this oil, than was paid in incopie taxe's in Amierica by the people handling this same oil." declared the speaker. Dr. C'allcott was of the opinion that Mexici should be left more to her 'wyn welfare. but statecthhat she was YELLOW SHEET Materiail for the "Yellow Sheet," theatinual scandal issue of dhc Gane Vock. imist he in by next Thursday night.

Yost established immediate contact with the audience by stating that he wvas Southern, Ioth by birth and by mar riage. In referr;ng to his coaching career, he said that his work as a coach was a recreation from a very active busineis life. He (-xlolled the theory that all coaches received high salaries and added that even those who lil were not sure 4f their jobs and were iiable to he set ::drif. at any time if the college atthoritics did not like their work.
