have made many people impatient
with concept that can be easily
turned inside out, according to the
proposition one sets out to prove.
Yet the survival of certain Euro
pean peoples presents problems
hardly, if at all, solvable without the
assumption Of race as a most potent
element of historic continuation.
One of the most interesting of
these problems concerns the Ruma-
nian nation. The Latin origin of the
Rumanians and their autochthonous
presence in their actual homeland
have formed the subject of bitter
controversy. Certain historians.
especially those advocating the
claims of Magyar jingoes, denounce
as spurious the idea that the Ru-
manian people descend from the
Roman legions and colonists that in
the second and third centuries Of
our era garrisoned the Roman
province of Dacia and mingled with
the Romanized native population
These same historians also contend
that the Rumanian population of
Pennsylvania is not aboriginal; that
it immigrated into that country
from the mountains Of Macedonia &

Dacia, stretching as it does from
the Dniester and Bug to the lower
Danube. Whether or not the Ru-
manians actually lived in Transyl-
vania at the time of the Magyar in
vasion is an issue subordinate in

and when our car reached the town,

the first that has been seen in Cuer-
navaca for more than six years.
"The story of the Zapatistas is
really an epitome Of the history Of
Mexico, continual struggle Of an
ill-educated people against abuse
which they feel without being able
to understand. The party was and
is made up of the poems and small
farmers, for the most part pure
hlooded Indians. From before the
days Of Montezuma the various In
dian septs owned certain lands in
common, and their ownership wa
acknowledged by the Spanish con-
querors. Nor was any attempt made
to interfere with them for centuries,

true enough, that communal holdings
did not make for economic agricul-
ture, did as was done by the great
English land owners before them
inclosed the Indians lands and added
them to the estates of the great 'ha-
clendados,' giving their former own
ers permission to work upon them as
paid laborers if they felt so inclined,
or to starve if they did not.
The Indians, less patient than the
English peasantry, took to the hills
at once, elected as their leader
Emilio Zapata, man Of their own
class, and so remained until, only
a few weeks since, they finally
achieved their aim; the State of Mo-
relos is now entirely in their hands
and there is peace within its borders.
Many We're Bandits
This result was not, however
easily achieved, nor, as may be sup
posed, were the followers of the
crusade always single-minded in
their purpose. Many of them acted
as mere banditti; others. though
firm in their purpose of dispossess-
ing the great landholders, preferred
to keep the land to themselves
rather than to dedicate it to its orig
iral purpose On at least one occa-
sion when they seemed to have won
the victory the Conference of Zapa-
tistas, sitting at Cuernavaca, sent
surveyors to proceed with the task
of apportioning the communal lands
among the septs. But when the sur
veyors reached the first hacienda

matters little whether at a latter
period further immigration from the
south swelled the ranks Of original
Inhabitants. Most probably such
immigration was merely a remigra-
ton analogous to the reoccupation
of the Ukraine by its original Slav
inhabitants driven out for a time by
the Tartar invaders.
Now, the most obvious argument
in favor of the Latin origin of the

Rumanians is the survival of their
Latinity-language, tradition, phys

an environment where every infu-

IN this respect it is most interesting
