Talks of "Pacification."

Nj. Bonillas laid much emphasis on
the work of pacification now going
on under the Carranza government" as
a. guarantee that the six years civil
war is subsiding. and Mr.. PAM declared
that what Mexico needed more than
Intervention to restore order and es-
tablish firm democratic government
is education.
Mr.. Rojo said that Americans mis-
understood Mexico because they had no
means of learning the truth.
1T is not the purpose of the revolu-
ton to discriminate against foreign
ers," he added. The revolution aims
merely to place the Mexican on a basis

The election will do much more to
win the confidence of the Latin Amer

it demonstrated that the friendly atti-

the attitude of one temporary admins

In the event of war between the
United States and any other nation
outside of America, Mexico under
stands her attitude must be one of
complete continental solidarity, de-
clared Mr.. Cabrera. He added that the
main political international problem OF
Mexico consists of her relations with
the United States.
