nous in the friendly feeling whicl

ever, We don't expect a great deal
from your country. for you still have

which empels its masses to move to
other fields"

"Whst rights have Mexicans over
Americans in business and property

They have none," replied Presi.
dent Diaz. 1.-The Americans have in
this country an equal chance with the
Mexicans tor all kinds of business.
In fac, l believe they have a better

same can be said as to the acquisition
Of property, except that there are
certain limitations in the acquiring OF

force. These limitations are, how
