OF course the population Is IN Eu-
rope. Mexico has only a few more
people than Norway, Sweden, Den
mark and Switzerland combined.
But in wealth Of land and minerals
the openings for more population, the
possibilities of new business, the In
ducements to pioneers, investors ana
the prospects of large rewards FOR
legitimate enterprise, Mexico does not
Yield to any or all Of them. Nor, II
we leave out Germany, 10 the pros
pect held out to American business
by all Central Europe half 80 prom
sing as would be that held out by
Mexico II the United States would
only cease handling Mexican affairs
denic viewpoint.
Business Relations Sought.
What most Mexicans apparently
want in their relations with the United
States is recognized independence and
business relations. The writer has
not been in Mexico for several years.
but all oral and written reports from
Mexico agree on these two points.
The Mexicans do not want to be In
political leading strings to the Govern
ment in Washington. They want to
do business with US. Before the revo-
luton Americans had in Mexico
one billion dollars worth OF invest
ments-some have said billion an
half. Many of these investments were
lost while Mr.. Wilson was devoting
himself to liberty, fraternity. equality.
and the salvation Of mankind. The
time now has come when all that loss
can be regained and increased-not 80
much in indemnities as in new busi-
ness.
Everybody along the border, every
business man who comes back from
Mexico, tells the same story. This Is
not a commercial article. II 1t were,
the figures of an increasing trade with
Mexico would be given and the wealth
of Mexico would be tabulated. This Is
merely a plea in favor of the American
Government giving American business
a chance in one of the richest bust
ness fields that the world affords to-
day in American industry and COM
merce. How can the American Gov
eminent do this? By devoting to the
Mexican question about one-tenth the
zeal and good will that 1t devotes to
the affairs Of France and England and
to the financial morass known as CEN
trail Europe.
Recognition Needed.
1t Is not only commonly reported
but commonly agreed that the hope
Of American business in Mexico hangs
on the recognition Of President Obre-
gon by the Government in Washing
ton. 1t would be difficult to find
man acquainted with Mexican affairs
who does not say that the only choice
Is between Obregon and the deluge-
Obregon and the present peace on the
ruin on the other. So we come to the
question Of the political recognition
Of the Mexican government, by the
United States.

The Washington times., 1921-12-21

Dr. T.. j. Dillon says the BIRTHS
men OF business do not seem to un
oerstand what Mexico can be made
70 mean TO world business interests.
There Is some reason for that. Eng
iand Is distracted by her business in
terests In Asia and Africa and on all
the seas. But the United States has no
such excuse. An American can step
across an Imaginary line into Mex
leo and not know the difference un-
less stopped at a customs house or
py a border guard. And, as DIR. Dill
ION points out, Mexico Is almost
bursting with undeveloped wealth
mineral and agricultural.
Big Business Opportunity.
We read daily Of what American
business should do-must do-for
central Europe. The country Is in
economic ruin and must be restored;
only by starting up its mines, fac
tories and agriculture can we bring
to pass that production of wealth
that Is necessary to prosperity In
general, and American prosperity in
particular. This is the argument.
Millions of words are spent daily to
urge tic .-.
Yet across a mere line in the sand,
is business opportunity at least
equally great. and we read Of it an
write on 1t only now and then; in
the tumult regarding Europe. Its
Importance is barely noticed and sci.
dom realized.
What is Central Europe? Germany,
Austria, Hungary, cho-Slovakia,
Rumania, Jugo-Slavia, Bulgaria, and
Italy. That is Central Europe and
little more. Yet all these countries
together are not so large as Mexico
and in wealth of resources promise
far less of new business Tor the flu
ture. Or we may compare Mexico's
possessions in SOL and minerals and
expanse of territory with the nations
of Western Europe. Then one finds
that Mexico alone Is as large as
