Review, an English periodical
published at the federal capital,
asked Governor Esteban Cantu.
of the Territory of Lower Cali

in that section belonging to
foreigners In reply, Governor
Cantu says:
"All persons who own lands
with perfect titles can depend
upon this, Government for ali
the support the law affords
them in every respect. The
Americans on whose behalf you
write can therefore be sure that
all the rights legally granted to
them will be respected. In re-

Mexico S Present
Condition
Charles A. Douglas Gives the
Result of His Observations
on a Recent Visit to
the Republic
Charles A. Douglas, counselor


Charles A. Douglas, counselor
in the United States for the
Mexican Government, who re-
turned to Washington recently
after a months stay in Mexico,
having gone there to confer
with officials and study con-
,ditions, gaven the Star a de-
scription of the economic, politi-
cal and industrial situation in
the Republic.
Commenting on the present
state of order throughout Mex
leo, Mr.. Douglas said:
"Order is being slowly but
surely restored. Barring oc-
casional train robberies and
small sore spots in the States
of Morelos and Durango, con-
ditions are approaching the
normal everywhere. The general
Generalization that inevitably
follows in the wake of civil
strife has not yet wholly dis
appeared Indisposition to
work, and, in places, inability
to get work, added to the de-
struction of many Thousand
acres of corn by the October
frosts, make troubles enough
for the Government and the
country, but the authorities are
bravely and intelligently facing
these and the other problems,
and 1 believe they are on the
way to satisfactory solution.
All Courts ReOrganized.
~ 'The courts, Federal and
State, are reorganized and fully
equipped, and are everywhere
performing their functions.
The recently and intelligently
revised system of education is
in full operation, from the COM
mon. free schools all over the
Republic to the National Univer
sity at the capital. The Nor
NAL College of Mexico City is Of
ficered and managed prin-
cipally by professors and teach
ers educated by Carranza in the
United States. More money is
being actually expended through
out the country on schools, and
many more pupils now are in
attendance on schools than in
the best days of the Diaz
regime. The hope is not for
present, but for the next, and
then the next generation.
"Industrially and CONNER.
cially, Mexico's progress during
the current year, everything
considered, has been simply
amazing.
"The work of railroad ha.
bilitation is illuminating. Sew.

when the American and Mexi-
can people shall have reached
a better understanding of each
others attitude, the one toward
the other-and it is one, i'll my
opinion, of real friendship now
1T will be time enough 10 un-
dertake this task, and then it
will be successfully under
taken"
How Mexicans Regard the War
Asked to discuss the dis
position of the Mexican people
toward the United States with
special reference to the war.
Mr.. Douglas replied:
I'm attempting to answer
this question | cannot and do
not undertake to speak either
for the Government or the peo-
pie of Mexico.
''It is my personal opinion,
basednon my careful observa-
tions during my recent visit to
Mexico, that the real attitude,
both of the Government and
the people, is one of benevo-
lent rather than strict neu-
trality toward the United
States and the entente powers.
The Government may conclude,
although I do not know, that It
should continue officially to be
neutral-strictly neutral-but
that the peoule and the au-
liberties down there are in ac-
tual sympathy with the cause
of democracy, and therefore
with the United States, / have
no doubt.
"Ther has been, and still is,
some anti-American sentiment
in Mexico, but there is very
little pro-German sympathy
there. The anti-American feel
ing is rapidly disappearing.
"The change in Mexico in
this regard within the past
thirty days has been marked
and rapid. While I was in Mex
leo City resolutions were Of
fered by prominent and in
Ifluential members in both the
Senate and Chamber of De-
Iputies, declaring for a pro-Ally
policy and for severing dipolmat
ic relation with Germany. I was
Informed that three-fourths of
the two houses were and are in
favor of the passage of these
resolutions.
