AN intense national spirit is developing in
Mexico, and all social and religious institutions
which have stood or are standing in the way of
this reconstruction program are being drastlcal-
ly regulated by the government We have not,
however, found the Mexican government hostile
to the church such Its highest officers spoke
with ardent appreciation OF the loyal and
selfish service rendered by many religious
carnations and social workers from the United
States.
I'VE have found Mexico rich in resources
both OF natural wealth and power, while
the great of the material wealth of the
country is concentrated in a few hands, largely
those OF foreigners
In this last statement may be found great deal
OF meaning. MeXlcans, developing at last a national
spirit resent the exploitation and ownership of much
OF their natural wealth by foreigners ANY seif-re-
spectms nation would PROBABLY feel the same way
about it.
The effect of this patriotic psychology just now
is rather hard on lot of foreign investors especially
in the United States and England. 1t is hard too, on
the Catholic church, whose treatment by the present
Mexican government is as to suggest per-
secuton. But generally speaking, the government at
Mexico City IS probably doing the best
