The names of more than 500 Protestant, Jewish and Catholic clergymen who have signed a statement expressing concern over the threat to religious liberty in Mexico were made public yesterday by the National Conference of Jews and Christians. In view of the fact that ninety-five per cent of church-goers in Mexico are Catholics, the conference invited Jews and Protestants to take the initiative in the petition. Over nine-tenths of the signatories are Protestant ministers and rabbis.
