gon is "the man of the hour" in
Mexico, according to Ramon T. Lu-
jan, a member of one of the rich
est families in the state of Chihua-
hua and perhaps the largest cattle
raiser and cotton planter in the
southern republic, who passed
through lei Paso on his way to Al

prosperity to the war stricken peo-
Pile of Mexico Already, he added,
peace predominates in Mexico, and
thousands and thousands of male
citizens who but recently fought
with one faction or another IN
Mexico, have abandoned their war
weapons for the pillow.
In his endeavors in behalf of
peace, Senior Lujan said, General
Obregon will be accorded the un-
divided backing of the better class
of Mexico's Citizenry, all of whom
are anXiously awaiting a return to
Revolutionary conditions and
the establishment of authorize
tive law and order throughout the
republic. This condition. Senior
Lujan asserted, can be expedited
by the cooperation of the Ameri-
can people and the furthering of a
better understanding of social, po-
litical and financial conditions I'M

living. -
Senior I.ujan who has been edu-
Gated in several languages and has
