Mexico. is at the Arlington. He came
to Washington for the purpose of obtain
ing information at the Agricultural De-
partment on subjects of interest to the
agriculturists of his country. Senior linda
will pay his respects to Ambassador de
la Barra this morning. and later will
have conference with the chief of the
Division of Animal Industry of Secretary
Wilson's department
Among the main products of Mexico"
said Senior linda, outside of its mineral
resources. are cotton, rubber, tobacco.
corn. and other staples. We grow cot
ton in the states of Durango and Oaxaca.
We not only produce enough for home
consumption. but export it to England
and other countries. The cotton industry
promises to be one of the most profitable
and successful in my country. The area
planted to cotton increases every year.
which naturally results in a bigger crop.
Prices are very satisfactory
Speaking of Mexico in general. Senior
linda said that many Americans have
settled in that country and have become
citizens of the republic. and that millions
of American dollars are invested in Mex
lean enterprises. The political discon-
tent which has been much exploited
in the newspapers of America. but which,
in truth. was of practically no signifi-
canoe. has entirely disappeared. and
Mexico is in peace, and everybody praises
President DiaZ for his craftsmanship in
bringing Mexico to that high plane of
civilization, prosperity. and respect
among the nations which it occupies to-
day. Americans, 1 find. are as rule
but poorly informed on Mexico. III they
were better informed they would not
publish articles giving an entirely wrong
impression of Mexico and the Mexican
people as they really are
America the Greatest of All.
AT the present rate of growth of the
United States-in population we'll as
wealth-the other nations of the world
cannot afford to disregard the trend of
public opinion in the United States" said
DR.. NJ. Aranyi. former member of the
Hungarian Parliament. editor Of the u
sag. one of the most influential daily
papers in Budapest, and now director
general for France of the New York
Life Insurance Company. with headquar-
tiers at Paris. DR.. Aranyi is accompanied
by his daughter, Mile. Magda Aranyi,
une Parisienne petite ct tres charmante
ct jolie.
America offers a living and fortune
TO everybody said DR.. Aranyi. who is
Chevalier of the Legion of Honor of
France, and everybody seems to be busy
and TO have an aim. Americans are al
ways doing something: there appear to
be no idlers in the United States. The
secret of your success is that you have
solved the problem of merging all ma
tionalities into a heterogeneous people. in
tense with patriotism. There is no other
people in the world so patriotic as Amer
leans. and therein lies the secret of the
great strength of the American nation.
America has now population of nearly
1ooOoo.oOo. and there is ample room and
opportunities for another 1OO.00O.OOO. A
nation with such a powerful population
and of unlimited wealth cannot be dis
regarded: on the contrary, all others must
follow America. which is bound to lead
Speaking of politics in Hungary, DR..
Aranyi said that although the Hunga-
rian or Opposition party desired indepen-
dence from Austria in every conceivable
respect. it did not strive for a severance
of the personal dynastic bonds. In other
words, Hungary wishes the Emperor Of
Austria TO continue to he the King of
Hungary.
Miss Aranyi said that she was most
agreeably surprised to find American
women and girls so attractive and charm
ing In France We picture to ourselves
the American girl cold and awkward
find. and l was most glad to have an
opportunity. that your American ladies
are beautiful and charming: quite the OPP
posite of what We take them to be in
France.
The Kaiser and Mr. Roosevelt.
Herr and Frau Julius Kahn. of Frank
fort ON the Main. Germany, accompanied
by their son and daughter. are at the
New Willard. Herr Kahn is the repre-
sentative of the New York Life Insur-
ance Company for Germany. and is in
this country to attend meeting of all
the representatives of that concern.
Business in Germany is very good. and
prospects are that it will even grow
better. Germany is prosperous and our
people are amassing completeness. We
have very few poor people The gov
prONIueS tHe poor,
sick. and other unfortunates. 1t is true
that We pay high taxes in order to keep
up our military system, but it must he
taken into consideration that most of this
money which goes into the public treas
ury for the support of the army and navy
finds its way out again among the people.
Socialism is one of the problems which
is confronting the government. Socialism
is growing, and, although it may have
lost some of it's virulence and violent OPP
position to the monarchy, it is neverthe-
less an anti-monarchical party. IL the
Socialist party should ever obtain the ma
jority in the Reichstag. the people would
soon find that it could not bring about an
improvement in their condition and
would defeat it as the next election.
Should It ever come to war between
Germany and foreign power. every So
cialist would don the Kaiser's uniform
and fight for the fatherland. His majesty
our Kaiser is immensely popular every
where: the German people recognize that
it is due greatly to his exertions that
Germany to-day occupies the foremost
place among the nations of the world.
We Germans admire MIR. Roosevelt very
much; he and our Kaiser are of about the
same temperament.
Herr Kahn said that Germans lacked
the intense patriotism which is one OF
the great characteristics of the Ameri-
can. the Englishman, the Frenchman,
and almost every other nation but the
