Mexico City, Oct. 4.

A serious recrudescence of friction between the Church and the State in Mexico has been marked by an order, issued by President Rodriguez, for the expulsion from Mexico of Arch- bishop Leopold Ruiz y Flores, the Papal Legate.

Archbishop Flores roused the wrath of the authorities earlier by issuing a statement defending the recent Encyclical by the Pope, likening the treatment of religion in Mexico to that in Soviet Russia.

The Encyclical has provoked much indignation in Mexico and anti-clerical demonstrations re feared.
