cutting away away- the foundation upon which rests their own lease of power pow pow- er That is the question Upon the answer depends to a large extent the welfare of Mexico I am inclined to the belief that the I new government will be able to put through this program of reform even if it Is left to face the problem alone But it is apparent that Mexico should not be forced to go through this test without outside If the people of the United States are interested in seeing the return of stable conditions in in Mexico now is their opportunity to evidence that interest in tangible form If the United States ip the very near future were to grant recognition I to the present Mexican government itI it itis I is believed here that such an act I would go a long way toward assuring a continuance of tile the e now peaceful conditions condi condi- To be e sure r recognition itself CI Is a merely moral factor But that it would have very substantial results in Mexico is not doubted It would strengthen the Mexican government within the confines of ot Mexico itself Moreover it would as assist assist assist as- as Obregon materially in the contemplated contemplated contemplated I plated house cleaning pro program ram to which reference has been made FINANCIAL AID NEEDED But a more important fac Is that recognition recognition recognition rec rec- would undoubtedly also mean fi financial financial tI- tI assistance and It ft is this that Mexico stands most In need of If Mexico Mex Mex- Mex- Mex Mexico ico were advanced i by American American Ameri Ameri- can bankers right now the chances of I the Mexican problems being solved forthwith forthwith forthwith forth forth- with anti anTl immediately would be doubled 1 I It must be remembered that in Mexico Mex Mex- I ico leo real political stability is dependent largely upon the permanent attainment of or economic stability To expect Mexico to come up newly burnished and triumphant tri triumphant tri tel I out of its ruins without first having laid the proper roper in the shape of some degree degree of physical prosperity prosperity prosperity pros pros- and social welfare is tantamount I to the expectation that a child can clossom clossom clossom clos- clos som into manhood without going through the period of adolescence MEXICO'S NEEDS Mexico's needs at al the present time are various For one thing the banking system system tem of the country needs to be reorganized reorganized reorganized in order that business men farmers farmers farmers farm farm- ers and ranchers may have some source to appeal to in order to finance their necessary operations As things ar at now no I loans can be had in Mexico only from money noney lenders and loan sharks who charge most exorbitant rates of interest interest inter inter- est often as hight as 70 per cent per annum Naturally under these conditions conditions conditions condi condi- all forms of enterprise are arc seriously serious serious- ly handicapped In Dallas there Is talk of building up the Mexican market for forthe forthe the importation o on onD of D Dallas goods d but what l h ont chance have t the Mexican merchants merchants merchants' h to da any large buying when loan conditions conditions condi condi- are like this I TRANSPORTATION Mexico must also rehabilitate her railroad railroad railroad rail rail- road system before the necessities of ot trade can be met At pr present sent there is an almost demoralizing lack of all kinds of ot rolling roiling stop stock In the country I am In Informed Informed informed In- In formed that the government has ordered some new cars but they have ha not yet et been delivered And anyhow the Mexican Mex Mex- lean ican government can not Itself finance the purchase ur hase of or all tho the cars that it Is isI I really necessary to have A third precaution that must be taken taken taken tak tak- en before commercial relations between I the United States and Mexico are on the proper plane is that of giving gUing employment employment employ employ- ment to all the workmen in Mexico who 1 are now idle Banditry just now is at a minimum but to guarantee that it will remain so it is necessary arv to find tome some constructive wor work for foi discharged soldiers And the thousands thousand of laborers in the country who can not now find jobs Of Ot I course such idleness is conducive to the growth grov of banditry and if f b bandits d arise f Yih nb gau i iI in nui bera b again there c can n be no guaranty guar guaranty anty given that shipments made either I I from Mexico to the Uni United ted States Stales Sta tes or from the United States to Mexico will ever reach their destination I M MEXICO'S XICO'S NEEDS By recognition of the Mexican government government government gov gov- on the part of oC th the United States and by the tho subsequent granting of a loan to Mexico Mexico can get a a. start Her Iier revenues and her wonderful resources would be sufficient to keep the ball bail rolling roll roll- ing once the original impetus was given It il b bj by a a. little financial assistance from rom the outside outride The Mexican minister tel of fa finance has estimated the nations nation's needs at Thus the Mexican market is ready and waiting for American business men under certain provisions The provisos are reorganization of ot the Mexican

people people peo pee pie in Mexico for setting in motion the machinery that wl result in the consummation consummation mation matlon of ot these desirable conditions Just now there is a probability
