LA POLITICA DEL GOBIER-
NO TIENDE A QUE Ell ES-
TADO CONTROLE LOS
SERVICIOS PUBLICOS.

Mexico. JUNO 2S.-En la Ca
mara de Diputados Sc ACADIA de
presentar dictamen adverse a la
iniciativa del Executive Federal,
para que Sc lie dieran facultades
de disponer hasta de la suma de
diez millones de pesos, del Tesoro
nacional, o compromised el credi-
to de la Nacion por esa suma, a
fin de adquirir Ell control de los
Ferrocarriles Unidos de Yucatan
y de la empresa encargada del
abastecimiento de combustible
mineral.
Preguntamos al Ministro don
Luis Cabrera su opinion sobre csc
dictamen, al que Sc lie dispensaron
In primera y segunda lectura, y
que Sc discutiria en- la primera
oportunidad y aquel funcionario
dijo:
me ha producido la mas peno-
So impression que las Comisiones
de la Camara, por no haber dado
al Executive la oportunidad de
cxplicarles los importantes fines
quesse persiguen con la iniciativa
Que este mand6. hayan formulado
TN dictamen que c~ontraria la po-
Utica que ha desarrollado ell ac-
tual Gobierno, y que ha sido ca
racteristica de la Revolution Cons
titucionalista, en- Ell sitio de obte-
ner que Ell E.stado controle todos
los servicios publicos. Politica
que ha venido a e general, en-
estos tiempos, en- todos los paises,
MAXINE tratandose de servicios
pnbiicos tan importantes como son
los ferrocarriles.
LAS Comisiones-agreg6-han
creido que la adquisicion de los
Ferrocarriles Unidos de Yucatan
;mpiicaria la centralizacion de esta
empresa, y 10 que realmente Sc
pretende es su decentralization.
Sobre Ell punto de vista de la
"factibilidad" del proyecto, a que
de manera tan especial aluden las
Comisiones, los miembros de es-
tas, ST Sc hubiese tenido la oportu-
nidad de que la Secretaria de Ha-
cienda les informase sobre Ell par
