land problem has been satisfactorily
 worked out. In order to perfect satis-
 factory land system in Mexico there will
 be needed large amounts of financing car
 ried on by either the United States or
 Great Britain or possibly both. In Great
 Britain, as we'll us in this country, those
 who are well informed believe that sys-

 the plan adopted by the Czar of Russia.

 or in some respects similar to the treat
 ment of the land in Ireland must be
 adopted in Mexico. This will entail the
 creation of very heavy bonded obliga-
 tions, and yet the terms of these bonds
 can be so arranged as not to impose
 heavy burdens upon the peons.
 When Mexico perfects reform In her
 land laws and puts the reform in opera
 tion the first indications of permanent
 peace will be observed. It makes no diff
 ference whether Huer,a or Villa is the titular head of the Mexican government, SC far as administration is concerned, un- less steps are immediately undertaken to reform the land system.
 When these reforms are well under way the opportunities for investment of for eign capital especially that of the United States, upon reasonable terms will be magnificent. Whenever it is demonstrat- ed that permanent peace Is established in Mexico, American capital will flow into that republic rapidly, and in the aggre- gate an enormous sum- The natural re- sources in Mexico have. as yet. scarcely been scratched. With the establishment there of American industrial mining and agricultural methods and with the grea { inflow of capital which will be sure to fol- lew permanent peace, Mexico should de- velop rapidly and enormously. All ot those who take this view say that the most scrupulous care should be exercised that nothing be done 70 arouse the sus- picion among the Mexican people that the United States contemplates political authority or sovereignty. If the Mexicans are free from suspicion of that kind they will welcome financial assistance. We shall have something of the relation to- ward Mexico which we have secured and now maintain toward Canada-a relation of splendid commercial financial, indus | trail and mining cooperation. Probably were there peace in Mexico now and as- | surance that it would be continued we should see soon after the organizatio of | the federal board application for permis- 1 sion to establish perhaps more than one American branch bank in the City oi | Mexico.
