NrNico's Mig Problem.

within Mexico the real international
problem means the protection OF foreign
life and property and the condition Of
foreigners IN regard to natives. ON ac-
cunt OF the acknowledgements ~ the po-
litijal and CjS ! laws In favor or Mexicans
and on account Of the always watchful
diplomatic protection that foreigners
have enjoyed. a sort Of privileged condi-
ton has arisen little by little in favor
OF foreigners. Mexico has the problem
of equiliZinE the conditions Of Mexicans
and foreigners, not by lowering foreign
rrs but by raising the condition OF ma
tives.
The privileged condition OF foreigners
that has existed in Mexico for a long
time has produced "a certain jealousy and
distrust with which M%eXicans look upon
the Increase Of immigration and foreign
investments IN Mexico. since such in
crease would he considered as the
strengthening of n privileged class.
The problem for Mexico is To find
the way I'm which foreign money and i'm
migrants can freely como to Mexico and
contribute to her progress without be-
coming a privileged class; that IS TO
say, that instead Of becoming y growing
menace 10 the sovereignty OF Mexico
they will contribute to the consollda-
ton OF her sovereignty and independence
