Political bill targets communism and property rights
A new bill proposed by Deputy Lorrain seeks to outlaw communism and ban ideologies promoting proletariat dictatorship. It criminalizes teaching doctrines from the third international and all propaganda for violent class conflict, with penalties including fines, prison terms, loss of nationality, and loss of political rights for violators. Rightist parties push the measure while liberals and conservatives boycott 1940 elections amid dispute with President Cerda. Separately in San Francisco, a warehouse fire damages about 200000 dollars worth of baled cotton, with fire officials uncertain of the cause.
