MEXICAN GOVERNMENT PLANS
RADICAL REFORMS.
Government to No Longer Grant Con-
eessions TO Benefit the Few
and Hurt the Many.

CHIHUAHUA. Mex. June I5.-Re-
forms Immediately affecting millions
OF dollars worth OF American property
IN Mexico were announced today. Gov
ernor Abraham GOnzlaes declared that
under the new regime foreign conces-
sions which might be regarded as
monopOlies would not be extended or
renewed.
All Americans who grieved AT the
downfall OF the Diaz administration
VIII find that their grief was well
founded" said Governor Gonzales.
We do not intend 70 take away the
riches Of any foreigner who legally
holds them. but We realize that under
the Diaz system the granting Of con-
ceS5ions with their ruinous payments
OF large sums of money 20 Mexican
politicians was a virtual selling out of
Mexico
We hope 70 maintain the friend
Hest relations with Americans. and We
shall invite all foreign capital to come
in; but there will be no more selling
out OF the country by piecemeaI We
VIII invite com petition. not monopolv.
What Is known as company stores
? In towns whore large numbers Of nen
are employed will be abolished. This
will mean that working people will
nave the benefit Of buying from whom
they please or course. we do NOT
intend 10 question the right OF couces
sions legally held. but we shall refuse
10 encourage or extend unjust ones. "
