have been subject to criticism. But
from the moment in which he first Of

and acts have been admirable.
His personal morality is of the best;

he was. That is not denied. There
are many bandits in Mexico. Why?
Because the conditions of life there
have been so hard under cientif1co ad-
ministrations that the making of an
honest living by those who had aroused
the enmity of the powers that rule
was impossible. Unjust persecution
sent Villa to the hills and to the life

Omcially. Senor Pesqueira has no stand

frequent consultation with many who
have to do with establishing the foreign
relations of this government.
In many respects the personality of
Senior Pesqueira is typical of the move

democratic sentiment of the northern
states of Mexico-a sentiment rejecting
Anglo-Saxon influences as opposed to the
historic, aristocratic Spanish influences
that have been generally predominant in
Mexican affairs since the time OF the CON
