granted. Port works all show solid
progress, assuring the safety Of inn
pOrtant harbors when completed. The
railways of the country have a total
extent Of 14.7OO kilometers. Postal
progress has been remarkable, and the
Increase In postal orders between Mex
leo and the United States has been be-
yond all anticipations.
Regarding the governments policy
toward the monopolIsts of grain, the
president notes that while last years
corn crop was better than had been
expected, 1t will continue to be the duty
of the government to buy corn abroad
in times of real or artificial scarcity,
in order to help the poor people.
Military matters are reviewed. and
the president says 1t Is the policy Of
the government that Mexico should
manufacture for herself all munitions
Of war. A new cartridge factory will
be built and the manufacture Of
smokeless powder will be begun.
The Maya campaign In Yucatan has
had fortunate result and there are no
longer any serious engagements with
the Indians. The economical situation
of the country Is favorable. The GUS
