MEXICAN SITUATION.
Fighting Will Never Cease
Until Land Is Redis-
tributed, He Says

Chicago, November 1s.-Fighting in
Mexico never will cease until the land
has been redistributed and workers can
own their homes, in the opinion of
John Lind, President wilson's personal
representative in the southern republic
during Huerta's administration. Ad-
dressing the Industrial club here to-
day, Mr. Lind sketched the develop
ment of the landlord system under the
Spanish conquerors, and then declared:
As a whole the nation was made
homeless and has so continued to this
day. This is and will be the cause of
revolutions in Mexico until the question
is settled. The state of Moroios. for ex-
ample, is owned by % men"
Nominal freedom, Mr.. Lind said. was
accorded the poems but they are poorly
paid and practically compelled to re-
main in the service of the great land
owners. Laws forbidding employees to
leave the landlords service while in
debt have aided in keeping the workers
in subsection
Careful stuy of Mexicans. the speak,
err continued, convinced him that the
differences between them and citizens
of the United States eyre not racial nor
psychological The turbulence of the
Mexicans. he said. could be attributed
to years OF oppression.
The hard experience of the Mexican
has made him wary and suspicious
said Mr.. Lind ut has been difficult
for the Mexican people to believe our
President did not have some ulteripr
motive in his preferred good officers. I
think, however. that they now are
about convinced. and when once con-
WINGED, more loyal friends are not to
be found"
The speaker closed with plea "for
a warmer and kindlier interest In these,
our neighbors."
They bear us no Ill WILL" he de-
clared. They need our good will We
need theirs. We must be friends in
peace and allies in trouble. The people
of Mexico dwell in rich and beautiful
land. feel that they are a people of
great promise. They have suffered vicis-
STUDIES which we have escaped. believe
| that they are emerging into light of a
new and better day."

RAILROAD NEEDS
ARE VERY HEAVY
Trade Balance in Americas Favor
Promises to Set New Records,
Opening Wide the Gates
of Prosperity

New York, November Especial. lin
the letter to Judge Judson c. Clements of
the Interstate commerce commission. from
B. r. Yoakum, which was mades public
day or two ago. Mr.. Yoakum says that
in order to bring the transportation facili-
ties of the United States, so far as these
are in the hands of the railroad COM
panies, to a point adequate for the public
needs as much as $3.50 1000, 900 must be ex-
pended each year for several years. This
does not include new construction. The
sum named by Mr.. Yoakum is greater
than the estimate made by James j. Hill
two or three years ago. Mr.. Hill was
quoted as having said that at least $780,
100000 year must be expended by the
American railroads in perfecting facilities
tation demands.
When Mr.. Hill made this estimate he
was apparently of the opinion that the
managers of the railroad companies would
be compelled to seek the fresh capital
needed in European money markets. prin-
cipally London, Paris and, to some extent
Holland. But owing to various conditions,
some OF them political. there seemed to
be small chance of securing needed funds
abroad except, possibly, upon short time
notes which carried a high rate OF in
terest.
The opening OF the federal reserve sys-
tom carries with 1t promise of such a
change in our own financial situation that
it may be possible for the railroads to Sc
cure in the United States, even as soon
as the year 1916 such funds as are needed
in that year. Various estimates have been
made Of the aggregate OF our foreign trade
within the next IL months. Some of them
seem exaggerated and vet almost all of
them forecast an international trade bal
ance In favor of the United States of not
less than 81 900 100000. The balance for the
next II months will escape some of the
heavy invisible items which in recent
years have cut down our visible interna-
tonal balance by anywhere from $150, oO0.-
900 to 800, 000, 900, for 1t is now deemed GER
tain that comparatively few Americans
will make excursions across the sea next
summer. The aggregate of the letters OF
credit which now for several years have
annually been sold to American travellers
was estimated at $4,000 900. This sum
ances. The present indications are that
arnount of letters of credit sold.
We shall probably have to pay less in
the way of freight charges than any that
because no small part of our exports will
be carried in American vessels.

first Of the year by the opening of the
securities market, will undoubtedly greatly

by which these exports can with conven-
fence be carried from the American man.
ufacturfes.
There are some evidences that the
American people do not begin to realize
the magnitude of the foreign purchases
in this country which are now In the
course of negotiation and which probably
will be continued not only as long as the
war lasts, but for several years there
after. The presumption is strong that
one American manufacturing industry, one
of the greatest. has already negotiated, or
is in the course OF negotiation, contracts
involving about $100.0oo.0 900. The commod-
tiles enumerated in the contract are to be
used for war material, equipment and the
accessories OF q great navy, or perhaps
two navies. This Is only one item. Food
products in enormous quantities, sufficient
completely to absorb our own surplus, are
to be sold at high prices to belligerent and
neutral nations and the commerce of this
kind wall aggregate hundreds of millions
of dollars. With the opening of the cot
ton exchange, the presumption, II not GER
tainty, is that the cotton goods manufac-
tories in England and In France will make
heavy demands for American cotton. and
thus an additional factor which will make
for American prosperity will be added.
