This ideal is being realized TOT the present government possesses no other force than the moral force with which the people in great ma Jofity are supporting it's authority and policy.
 It IS an eloquent demonstration of the efficacy of reasoning that this government has been clearly and def lhltely consolidated by interior strength and forces in spite of the moral pressure brought against 1t by powerful governments denying their assistance to the system as planted py the present government of Mexico Whteh IS an indication of the popular VIII that gave birth to the revolu- tlonary movement chrystalizing in the 1917 constitution.
 We have gained the approval of the people of the whole republic and also of those other enlightened peo- pies among whom are these United states who now maintain with the people and government of Mexico re- lations of cordiality unprecedented in our history. Nothing is now lack ing but diplomatic normalization ot those relations, the date of which it is not within Mexico's province to fix.
 Look To Other Nations.
 We wish to harmonlze our action and development with that of all other nations of the world and to look for mutual cooperation in order more to facilitate ample success. But if foreign interests oppose such laudable design, then Mexico only wishes to say to the face of the whole world that 1t. is not h>r fault if she continues to act the role of seeming Shylock in regard to her natural riches For Mexico cannot rermit that there be exploitation by foreign captalistic interests until these have categorically declared their decision to submit to the laws and authority of the country. since Mex co considers it preferable to deprive herself Of the help of foreign capital for development of her riches if such 'help involves danger to her dignity
