The politicians OF the Mexican revo-
luton know nothing about the United
States. They have never, as a rule.
been outside thier own country. They
also know nothing about Europe. But
the ignorance they show on all mat
ters touching the republics OF Latin
America (so-called) is beyond con:
ccptior.
Carranza was always dreaming Of
a scheme OF his to build up a league
of Latin.Americsn nations: its pur-
pose was 10 counter.balance the power
OF the United States. He thought such
q league would give him strength and
enable him to put on bold race in
Washington.
Don Venustiano. on at least two
occasions, outlined his plan to me.
should hardly call it a plan, per-
hans. for il never reached the blue
print stage. In reality Carranza was
not on friendly terms with single
man of Importance In South America.
Needless to say, Mexico was to play
the leading role in the future league,
and Don Venustiano was to be direc-
tor-general.
The sense OF personal importance
is a characteristic of present'day pol
iticisns in Mexico. 1t is matched
only by their absolute Ignorance OF
everything that goes on beyond the
Mexican frontiers.
Mexico Hns Fifteen MILLION People.
In way their logic could not be
soundcr. Mexico has fifteen million
people. No Spanish speaking nation
in the Americas has so many. Then
Mexico is the oldest of the Latin
American countries and-sye before

came over their faces one day when

surprise at one OF their questions
