MEXICO CITY, Aug, 1.-THE
building of a modern nation upon the
foundation of simple human rights
to life, liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness-this is the meaning OF
the recent turbulent events in
Americas Ireland" the Republic OF
Mexico.
After fifteen years of civil war
after thirty years Of Diaz peace
when the land was put in pawn to
foreign invaders and corruption was
enthroned as a state policy. after 400
years Of looting, slavery, pestilence
and flood, the Mexican people are
today, for the first time, raising
their heads to demand from the
world the right Of self-determination.
To back up these demands a vigor-
Gus house-cleaning Is on. The pro-
gram of the new President. Plutarco
Elias Gales government means
more than simple reconstruction.
Task Staggering
This government proposes to full
fill as nearly as possible the letter of
the 1917 constitution. a document as
sacred to Mexico's million Of poems
as our own Constitution to our
people. The government may fail,
like Madero's, hut it is not likely that
it will betray the people as did
IIuerta and his white guards, or fail
the people as did CarranZa with his
army carpet-baggers. Its task, how
ever, is staggering.
The Gales government must steer
a course between menacing crags.
On the one hand is foreign capital
used to the honey-pots Of Diaz, chat
ing under the new demands of a
strongly organized union labor and
the attempt to administer the new
agrarian policy that will give back
to the peasants some of their stolen
communal lands. In league with the
foreign billions are the decadent
Creole "aristocracy," a Fascist said
to number 10000, and a half-dozen
defeated and exiled generals lurking
along the border in hopes OF some
happy wind-fall that will finance an
other revolution.
On the other hand are the grow
ingly radical peasant, whom land
and food hunger will drive to blind
revolt If the government betrays
them once more; and the unions of
the cities, oil fields and mines, less
radical than the farmers, but strong
and determined to better their stand
ard Of living.
Religious Antagonists
Under this economic b It'll e
ground is a stratum Of racial and
religious antagonisms, dating back
to before the Conquest. These
have in places mixed with the
economic revolt to form sore spots,
which may break forth any day
like the smoking volcano, Popoca-
tepetl, that towers over Mexico S
capital. The fighting Yaquis, of
Sonora: the "reds" Of Vera Cruz
and Tampico, now in strike against
the oil companies; the direct-action-
list agrarians of Morelos and the
Yucatan-these must be conciliated
as we'll as American, British and
French gold-seekeFs.
The army. always predatory and
venal, is another source OF danger.
slashes in the personnel Of generals
has made him less popular with
the army than with the civilian
population.
Growing Stable
How wisely Gales and his young
statesmen have steered this treacher-
Gus course during the seven months
of their power is known to the body
OF Mexicans and the Mexican press.
