For Southern Country

MEXICO CITY, March 4-RJ-
Close observers OF the Mexican pol
itical situation feel that the next
six months will be OF utmost inn
portance in determining the coun-
tryiS future. the predominant hope
being that within this period Mex
leo will be well embarked on poll
cies which should lead her to pro-
greSS and reconstruction.
Early indications OF President Or
tiz Rubio's intentions are viewed
as constituting a harbinger of solid
stability and, now that the Presi-
dent has recovered from his wound
and Is actively engaged in his work,
rapid strides toward achievement
Of his plans are looked for.
Communism apparently has been
done away with definitely in Mex
leo. and ample guarantees are pro-
missed for foreign as we'll as native
capital. The proposed labor code.
which caused a storm Of protest
from capital when 1t was presented
in Congress a few months ago seems
to have been well pigeon-holed, and
prominent government spokesman
have been quoted In remarks cal
culated to inspire the confidence OF
investors. Recently General Jose
Maria Tapia, governor Of the north
ern district Of Southern California
and considered one OF the brightest
prospects in Mexico's administrative
ranks, said there was no place ir
his country for Bolshevism. Many
industrial and commercial projects
now under consideration will find
the yield sufficiently guaranteed
for investment.
