The Communal system OF land
holding which has been r~esuscitated
In Mexico Is q failure" Beals said.
First because the peasants have
never received sufficient or proper
lands. Second, because they lack
the means. equipment and knowl-
edge to cultivate even what they
have properly; and finally, because
1t represents q primitive village
system based upon the production
Of maize and beans for local self
support and therefore runs counter
to the national needs and 70 mod
ern tendencies.
The true agricultural wealth OF
Mexico resides in tropical products,
such as sugar cane, tobacco. coffee,
banana, rubber, henequen, and
hardwoods. But these can only be
produced efficiently by large plan
tations with capital and technical
equipment and knowledge. The
henequen industry is in ruins. The
peasants r burning off vast areas
OF precious hardwoods to plant
maize and beans. The Mexican
revolution has never frankly faced
these problems"
