Able Ambassador Sheffield referred of course to the "mental process" by which Mexicans, a people nominally nine-tenths Roman Catholic, have embarked upon the extermination of the Roman Catholic Church in Mexico. Turning from this psychological paradox to a concrete fact-the apprehension of onetime Mexican Secretary of War Enrique Estrada in California with an "army" of 174 men bound for Mexico (TIME, Aug. 30) -Mr. Sheffield said with emphasis...
...week's concrete developments consisted merely in a continuance of the Roman Catholic economic boycott (TIME, Aug. 23) and the arrest and release on bail of groups of Roman Catholic "society girls" who distributed pro-Roman Catholic leaflets in the principal Mexican cities and pinned "boycott buttons" upon many a manly chest...
...thrown from a polo pony, killed. Last week, while playing polo with Lord Mountbatten, Duke Peneranda and Lord Wodehouse, Col. Harjes fell from his pony, crushed his skull beneath flying hoofs.

Early in the week Signor Pirandello had received a visit from two friends with a mutual grievance: Playwright Massimo Bontempelli and Author...
...mere province of the U. S. maintain a palpable absurdity. This country is a powerful barrier which the Latin world has erected against Anglo-Saxon usurpation. . . .

The Roman Church occupies here a place not much different from that which it might hold in a Confucian, Shinto, Brahman, or pagan country. For Mexico is obsessed by Aztec nationalism, by a desire to extirpate the religion of those who brought her both Christianity and European civilization, and to exalt the memory...
