AN exposition of the point Of view
Of the constitutionalists opposing
Huerta in Mexico was was given at
the Clark University conference on
Latin-America at Worcester, Mass,
last Friday by Luis Cabrera, former
former leader Of the Mexican house
Of representatives. Mr.. Cabrera's ad-
dress was the first of a series which
made this Mexico day" at the con-
ference. Mr.. Cabrera said: "The
reason for the instability Of exican
conditions is. the asbence Of a mid
die class. Without a middle class
there is no real social equilibrium, no
peace and no democratic form Of
government. The constitutionalist
of q middle class through the crea-
tion Of favorable conditions Of life
for the masses. The colonial policies
of Spain in Mexico contributed large
ly to the creation of privileged class
es. Large tracts of land were granted
TO soldiers, conquerors, and to the
church. The independence Of Mexico
in 1910 did not materially change the
conditions Of the masses. The great
landed estates owned by wealthy
families still remain in their posses
sion and are responsible for Mexi-
co.'s economic crisis. Owing to the
dictorial personal powers exercised by
Gen. Diaz from 1876 to 1910, the peo-
pie of Mexico have not been given an
opportunity to test their constitution,
but study and recent developments
have proved that in certain places the
constitution in Mexico is not fitted
for the needs Of the people. The
problem now confronting the consti-
tutionalist party is the promotion of
conditions creating stable middle
class. This must be accomplished by
political reform measures as we'll as
by the enactment of agrarian laws to
equalize taxation between the small
farmers and the large estates"
