Under Carranza's rule the most
scandalous fortunes were made, his
favorites having grown rich through
robbery Of the coarsest kind and
most injurious to the nation. This
Carranza must have allowed, be-
cause it is impossible that he should
have been ignorant Of his favorites'
intrigues, in the hope that he could
thus hold them in his power and
dominate them, while the result was
that they became possessors of his
will and blinded him by raising
around him barriers which prevented
him from seeing the real truth.
There in the wigwam at Tlaxcal-

Relapse Might Be Fatal

MeXlco's organism is strong. of
wonderful elasticity, but she has
just emerged from a long and dan
gcrous illness, and a relapse would
be terrible, perhaps fatal; while
with a little good will outside of her
boundaries even the traces of the
nalady that wrecked her might dis
appear. Her capacity for reaction
is immense. Senor de la Huerta
found the treasury exhausted and
everybody predicted that his admin
istratlon could not last, because
there would not he enough money TO
pay the soldiers. AS matter of
fact, not only has The army been
paid, but even civil employees are
receiving their full salaries to-day,
thing which has not happened dur
.ng years past.
The moment is ripe for the United
States ard the world to witness the
r>birth in a few months of that
ancient Mexican prosperity which
generously enriched so many for
eigners. Never before has Mexico
so fully deserved from her neigh
bors that sympathetic interest which
good Intentions Justify. 4 continu-
ance Of thi~ sympathy would be to
tie advantage Of both Mexico and
tne United States, because it must

bedroom-a room as severe and
L. as cod as the character of its
occupant-there were two strik-
ing details which confirmed the opin-
Jon had formed Of him during the
carly months Of his campaign
against Huerta in 19I3-a portrait
Of Emperor William, the theatrical
and tragic Nohenzollcrn, and an un-
derlined phrase on page IS of the
lsst book he read before leaving his
home never to return.
The work was The Life OF Au-
rastin de Iturhide, Emperor of Mex

his bedside, with the thin light of
the lamp softened by the green shade
which guarded his slumbers; and
he phrase, to Judge by the much be-
,humbed appearance Of the page,
which evidently impressed him most
vas that "between the ambitious
heights Of the dream Of empire and
its realization there Is nothing but
he precipice Of ruin"
A Dictator's Character
The location of the portrait Of the
TOodchopper Of Amerongen in the
place Of honor In his bedroom be-
tokened his unyielding obstinacy OF
Will, while the phrase quoted,
doubtless read and reread in the
nelly watches of the night when
ace to face with his conscience,
tearly showed that Carranza had
al the characteristics of a dictator

Must Be Friendly

Mexico cannot exist without good
relations with her powerful neigh
boz in the North, and General Obre-
gon Is disposed TO follow that policy
New-York tribune., 1920-09-19
Obregon's Policy

I, The program Of Mexico's future
President may be condensed into
three basic points, which are dia-
metrically opposite to those which
formed th@ basis of CarranZa's pol
icy: Cancellation with the interior
elements, good relations with all
foreign nations, particularly with
the United States, and the decen-
tralization Of power.
General Obregon and his party
have belied the reports which we're
spread by adherents of the previous
regime. They were accused of being
lntranslgent, but their deeds have
shown how we'll they know how to
conc!llate all the good elements,
whatever their political atfiiation.
They were accused of anti Ameri-
canism, and all the manifestations
, given by General Obregon and his
party allow the statement that in
Mexico that policy has come to an
end of pin pricking," which always
kept Carranza's government on the
edge Of an international conflict with
the United States.
New-York tribune., 1920-09-19
Admits His Mistake

The Carranza regime having col
lapsed with the death Of its chief,
Mexico found herself face to face
with terrible problems, the solution
Of which appeared impossible to
many. The Cassandras Of the po-
litical world, to whom I also be-
longed, believed that Gonzalism and
Obregonism would Immediately
break out into hostilities; that Villa,
thanks to this break, would recover
his forces, and that the army, be-
cause there were no funds to get
pay from, would disband, and thus
a period Of terrific chaos would COM
mence. Such apprehensions were
very reasonably founded, the result
of a certain logic. But Mexico is
not logical country, and all coun-
tries formed after her pattern may
and should expect the greatest sur
prises.
New-York tribune., 1920-09-19

rounded mostly by political adven-
turers who subordinated national to
personal interests.
There was one exception, Luis Ca
brcra, whose apparent gcniality was
merely a cloak to his bitterness of
character and pervers;ty.
Indeed, it seems incredible that
with his immediate associates com
posed, in great part, of persons of
scant intelligence and even scantier
honesty, the fall of Carranza, whose
personal honor was always beyond
question, could have been avoided
until SO recent a date as that tragic
May q of the present year.
The phenomenal Barraean might
he conceivable as the hcrchman of
a Rosas or q Melgarcio, both bar
barians, but his masquerading as
the counterpart Of decadent
Roman emperor beside the noble fig
ure and the superior intelligence of
Carranza is unthinkable. Barragan
is the handsomcst man in the world
according to Blasco Ibanez, who Wis
ualized Mexico through the tales
and jokes Of the canteers and by
piecing together fragments Of stories
Of alleged atrocities; but that meth
Cd Of describing a country is mere
ly defamatory and equivalent to fur
nishing a description Of the United
States obtained from a study Of the
caricatures Of the press, and that
is what the author Of The Four
Horsemer Of the Apocalypse gave In
his elementary articles on Mexico.
Authors Imagination
His comparison of Barragan's ap-
pcarance with the classic type of
garcors coiTelr and of the conven-
tional vendor Of ladies accessories"
is but a fight Of the authors exag-
geratcd Southern Imagination. Bar
ragan is good looking and intelligent
to mediocre extent, for every quail
ity in that bombastic individual,
whom they call "the little Presi-
dent" is lamentably mediocre. How
could such q youth, without moral
ity, talent or personal worth, become
the arbter of the internal policy
Of Mexico, or govern Carranza so
completely az to secure unlimited
power and become the Mazarln of
his government?
was able, on a former occasion,
to account for the exaggerated au-
thority of Barragan during the last
days Of Carranza's stay at the cap
ital. Little by little every one final
ly deserted The President. A most
horrible loneliness surrounded the
man who had reached the height of
power and had controlled the most
powerful army ever possessed by
Mexico. Only a few followers re-
NAMED at his side in those days and
slept with him in the palace; and
it was when | saw these last sup
posed loyal adhercnts pass by in re-
view that l realized how imminent
was the catastrophe. They reclined
on the soft, vclvety rugs Of the din
ing room and on the divans CT the
Turkish salon.
New-York tribune., 1920-09-19

Of friendship frankly, preserving, o.
course, at the same time q national
dignity. Porfrio Diaz, Madero,
Huerta and Carranza directed their
foreign policy toward the nations Of
Europe or toward Japan, sometimes
secretly, sometimes in manner
which showed open hostility to the
United States.
Obregon, without breaking the
bonds which for so long have bound
Mexico with some Of the nations of
Europe which have large interests
In that country, will foster good
relations between Mexico and the
Northern Republic, one OF his plans
being to present before the houses
Of Congress q treaty Of friendship
and commerce with the United
States which will open to American
industrial products larger field for
expansion in Mexico and will! favor
the Introduction Of raw materials
from Mexico into North America.
The day that the two neighborins
republics shall stop seeing each
other as possible enemies and give
up all motives for fear arising from
dlsagreeable incidents, by means of
an outspoken policy Of friendship,
Mexico will gain extraordinary inn
portance as productive nation; all
her immense riches will be developed
and the United States will have
Its most important market there.
A Democratic Policy
AS for his internal policy, Gem
eral Obregon is resolved to govern
democratically, extending the inGu
$ASO Va Ct4C IlOUSSS Oh congress-.
Furthermore, those ministers, al
ways excepting Cabrera, who un-
der Carranza were humble stenoe-
raphers charged with writing down
orders, will have q larger sphere of
action and greater responsibility.
Instead Of being photographic disks
some will be counsellors, faithful re-
producers OF the voice Of the su-
preme and only chief. That chief
will also undertake the tremendous
and indispensable task of taking all
! political power from the army, thus
making it solely national instru-
ment for the maintenance Of order
and national institutions.
Ever since the month Of Nav
Mexico has shown that she can have
democratic form Of government,
though with limited resources, hav
ing just emerged from swift but
formidable upheaval. The Mexican
people wish for no more revolutions;
their exhausted agriculture does not
allow Of the formation of rebellious
nuclei. All Mexico desires peace.
The government of Sehor de Ia
Huerta is the first that has wit
messed the running Of trains
throughout the republic without
armed escorts. Help must be ex-
tended and advantage taken Of this
kindly disposition Of the Mexican
people to retrace the road Of nor
mallty and progress. They must
not be oppressed with exactions nor
+ thrown into despair through in
difference.

Cordova; "Juanito" Barragan and
the favorites, freedmen and "mi-

perence of Carranza, which we'll
nigh threatens the republic itself,

future rulers of Mexico so that the
ulcer may be eradicated, represent
ing those absolute, all-powerful ad-
visers whose attainment of power is
gained only through poverty of in
tellect and weakness of backbone of
the nominal head Of the state.
How Did He Die?
These are the causes which con-
tributed to the ruin and death of
Carranza. There is a veil drawn
over ln1S NY SttIy. A1oN u1u I!S NAe i.
The theory of suicide is not in
credible. I maintain, and I wrote
to that effect before Carranza s
death, that the aged First Chief
would have committed suicide
sooner than be taken prisoner. l
, saw him attempt it on various oc-
casions on the firing line before
abandoning his escort.
But the number Of wounds and
the testimony Of his attendants ap-
pear TO contradict this theory. Car-
