! of freedom. Political liberty existed
on paper, by virtue of the 1857 Con-
stitution, long before the revolution
but it was only with the overthrow
of Porfirio Diaz that it has begun
to be taken seriously in Mexico.
1.-THE slavery of the peones to the
padrones, the imprisonment for debt
and the inheritance Of debts, the
tying down Of the peones to the
place where they worked-all these
every day evils of the old system OF
IL years ago are gone now and never
will come back.
I'm their places We now have a
country governed by the democratic
elections Of the people. Our cities,
with their mayors, and with their in
creasingly modern administrations,
are unrecognizab in their contrast
with the feuda1 past.
"A new generation Of Mexicans,
accustomed to liberty, has taken hold
of the nations affairs. The result
has been that while the Mexican
people have halted in their ALE
glance between this politician and
that politician or general, on the
revolution as a whole they have
never turned their backs.

Their loyalty is just as firm to-
day as it was in 1910, more so, in
fact, for their convictions are deep

the last TO- years laid the foundation
for the entire remaking Of Mexico.
I'm the field of educate our
progress is most interesting. Schools
have multiplied many times. Not
merely in domestic economy, but in
our relations with other countries,
particularly with the United States,
is the new Mexico being felt.
Mexico is your nearest interpret
er Of Spanish language, culture and
civilization, and we are proud Of the
many American students who have
come to take courses at the Univer-
slty of Mexico in Mexico City, to
benefit by that contact. We are re-
ciprocating in kind, and besides
sending many Mexican students to
the United States, more than ever
before are now studying in Europe.
"Groups of our school teachers
have visited your country and very
soon we hope to have at the Univer-
sity of Mexico some exchange pro-
fessorships which will do much to
stimulate the rapidly growing in
tellectual understanding between my
country and yours.
I'm Mexico revolutionary progress
does not stop with politics and edu-
cation. The new Mexico aspires to
be center of music and art as we'll.
The government, you will be inter-
ested to know, has pensioned quite
a number of students, several Of
whom are studying music in New
York city.
There is more and better music
in Mexico City and in the smaller
towns than ever before, and a bet
ter public appreciation Of: it. We
count all this as real progress which
with us by no means stops with ma
terial things.
There is another interesting ten
dency in Mexico I think you should
notice. Between the states of the
north and those Of the south there
are distinctive differences of climate
and social life, and in the past there
has been much divergence of inter-

the fusion of the nation through the

such distinctions into common

are right in saying that the Mexican

The crux of the land prob
lem in Mexico is to restore the
land to the people, and we are
resolved to continue breaking ur
large estates till that end is sub,
stantially achieved" That was

Consulted With Bankers.
Mr.. de la Hucrta spent nearly two
months in the United States during
the summer and returned to Mexico
late in August While here he con-
suited with American bankers with
reference to the financial misunder-
landing between Wall street and
o.. " Obrcson government.
Speaking of the important land
problem. the motive power Of the
and the axis Of hope for
Mexicos future stability, Mr.. de la
), Huerta said:
"Our present policy is following
two main lines. We are pursuing the
administrative duty, on the one hand,
Of steadily putting the larger estates
IN a basis whereby they may be OBJ
tanned by competent cultivators and
owners in small parcels at reason
able terms. and we have government
commissions at work studying means
whereby the new owners may avail
themselves to the utmost extent of
stimulus toward agricultural
knowledge and efficiency from the
government.
Education for Farmers.
"On the first point, President OBJ
RECON has just issued new regula-
tons which only await the consent
Of congress to become effective, thus
rapidly Fastening the new appor-
tionment of land. On the second
point, the plans Of the commissions
include the provision of travelling
equipped with motion pic
ture exhibits, to spread technical
agricultural knowledge to the new
owners throughout the country. to
improve the means by which they
can get farm tools and machinery
in short, to- extend an unprecedented
amount of federal cooperation to
-, the necessary industry Of nine-tenths
Of the Mexican people. This will
take time and money; Yes. but the
achievement of this program is the
inevitable outcome of the revolution,
and If you know Mexico you know
hat its success is guaranteed by the
industry and by the unswerving hope
If the whole people.
" Mexico has a radical land prob
m and I cordially approve Of it.
Wy own tendency is toward the
theories Of the single tax. But we
ire against confiscation, even
though the past regime built up it's
huge fortunes and haciendas, in
many cases, through: confiscation
alone. Full and complete compen-
sation to the owners of the property
We appropriate is the pledge behind
our policy and we are faithfully car
rying it out.
