Amnesty For Mexicans

No other step that could be taken by the Carranza
government would 60 so far establish its good repute
in the minds of Americans and other foreigners the
general amnesty which Gen 0bregOn promises he will
extend to all expatriated Mexicans with a few in
dividua exceptions of notorious antiCaanza and anti
Madero records. There can be quarrel with the
Carrancsas for desiring keep their most conspicuous
and active enemies of Mexico, for the present at
least Such not unusual in any country,
as sequel of revolutionary disturbances. If of
the radical leaders of the confederacy after our
civil had not voluntarily absented themselves
for time either to foreign countries into the great
west, after the war, the measure OF temporary
Punishment might have been resorted to then, IN
preference to any other civil military procedure.
It cannot be denied that all the old "cientifico"
elements of Mexico have had their lesson in many
a very wholesome lesson. Also many foreigners who
had to look upon Mexico their own back yard
have learned that Mexicans have interests left
in their country GUARANTEES of life and property,
if effectualy enforced, will be highly valued by the
returning exiles Most of them will be toerably well
content to to their homes and ranches and in
dustres, their businesses and professions and settle
down to repair and recoup damages far possible,
letting politics alone.
Mexico needs the exes. In large degree they repre-
sent the best educated and best trained element in the
industries and professions. Some Of them had doubt
less been active politically in behalf of the Diaz regime
But it is probable that the overwhelming majority
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1915-12-28

had any more interest in the Diaz group than that
which always attaches to the party in power in any
country community. They will be able to switch
their allegiance easily from factional group to
another, the various rings and antiTngs switch
in FL Paso, the original Champ Clark and Under
wood turned into original Wilson the night
of election.
The government in Mexico need not be too
quick to enlist the active aid of the old element Of
whom there exists much distrust But neither will
it be necessary wise to attempt to bar them too
long too completely from any participation in gov
eminent It important element In the strength
of Diaz during his days of power, that he had the
faculty Of bringing his opponents into camp and in
dueing them to work with him.
Mexico is peculiar in her political methOds-very diff
ferent from the traditional methods of the United
States for instance. Mecos political formations
personal; they matter Of personal allegiance, and
not Of programs policies primarily At times in the
United States there has been marked tendency the
way, in the of Henry Kelly, Andrew Jack
son. Blaine Bryan, and during the last campaign Roose
welt But ordinarily in the United States parties and
factions divide programs and policies, and would
remain divided in substantially the way despite
changes of personal leadership. Leaders here Incl
dental rule; in Mexico they everything. Parties
in the United States called by names signifying
policies in Mexico, by names of persons.
The division along the line of differences in programs
and policies is the higher form of politics The occasional
departures in the United States have rerogres
sion in political ethics interpreted IN the light of the
greatest constructive commentaries on government.
