AGRARIAN PLAN
DECLARED FAILURE
Gales BIameS American
Bankers in Part for Land
Confiscation Troubles.

BY the Associated Press.
/ MEXICO CITY. June 24-Settlement
! OF the agrarian question, one of the
major problems confronting President
I Orti2 Rubio'S government. yesterday be-
came leading topic of discussion with
I the publication by the newspaper Uni
VerSal of an interview on the subject
with former President p. Elias Gales.
Gen. Gales went ON record as favor
ing the cessation of land distribution.
Though hitherto the champion of the
9grarlan movement, which has caused
great deal of concern among Ameri-
can and other large landowners. he is
now quoted as calling 1t failure"
IN the interview he asserts that It
Is time TO give landowners, large and
small, the assurance OF permanent
property rights, SO that they can get to
work and produce more.
According to Gen. Gales, one of the
worst results of the land distribution
among the peasants going on for several
years is that agrarian bonds given large
landowners in payment for land con-
fiseated for distribution have fallen into
the hands of American bankers. who,
he says. have acquired them at IA per
cent of their face value and are en-
titled to 5 per cent interest.
If distribution under this system con-
tinues. he said in the interview. he
feared Mexico would face the danger of
finding herself lin the same situation
as Nicaragua
Gen. Gales estimated Mexico's agra
rian debt at 1900, 600 900 pesos (about
$3.50 ,000,000) and said it was high time
to check its increase.
