nc department OF the Interior of

the form of an official bulletin a rath-

Escobar The writer explains why
thousands of Mexican laborers are en-
terlng the United States. He says that
this country is a school for Mexican
poems, and deplores and criticises the
treatment and low station in life ac-
corded the peon in his own country.
The article receives Official sanction
by its publication in the official bull
letln of the Department of the Interior
me bulletin says in part:
The United States is a school for
our poems Those who go there soon
learn to clothe themselves better and
use shoes and clothing of the American
laborer- They eat better food using
meat, potatoes and bread. OF necessity
they have to forget chile. liquor and
tobacco and are compelled to use them
IN moderation This means the SUP
preston Of three disease giving ele-
ments and consequently leaves the peon
in condition to work better than he
does at home. His ideas broaden. and
he learns that the world is a big place
and that there are people who pay him
better for work than he is paid at
home and that these people take bet
ter care of him and are anxious to
have him. All this helps to weaken
our national forces.
