The cost Of the so-called Constitutional
lot uprising In Mexico has been greater
than the agonies OF the survivors or the
demonstrations and battles; greater than
the loss Of the victims. 1t has cut away
from the country the work of the people.
Industry in Mexico has been killed
along with human lives. These lost In
dustries we're borrowed from practically
every civilized nation on earth; they
came from outside the republic and can
not be replaced from within the coun-
try; they represented the sources of EN-

The loss represents. first OF all. a loss

OF the needed influences OF a civilized
