ATHEISTIC STATE
ADVOCATES.IN MEXICO ARCHBISHOPS AND BISHOPS DEPORTATION URGED REQUEST TO PRESIDENT By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received October 21, 5.5 p.m.) MEXICO CITY. Oct. 20 The schism between the Radical Government and the Roman Catholic hierarchy has been widened as a result of the Chamber of Deputies voting unanimously in favour of the deportation of all Roman Catholic archbishops and bishops from Mexiqo. A committee was appointed to ask President Rodriguez to enforce this policy. The chamber held that churchmen were foreigners inasmuch as they profess allegiance only to the Vatican. Its recommendation is described as a step "towards solving the Catholic question permanently." Several speakers, in a stormy session, in which Roman Catholics were charged with supporting the current agitation against the Government's plan for socialistic education, urged the creation of an atheistic State by abolishing all religion.
