ROOM SHORTAC FOR
AUTO RACE LOOMS
Three Conventions in City
Durinq Speedway.

The hotel room situation in Indl-
annapolis for the Speedway races will
be more acute this year than in re-
cent years because three national
conventions are being held in the
city on the same date and three
downtown hotels already are booked
solid.
One thousand delegates are ex-
pected to the convention of the
Automotive Engine Rebuilders Asso-
citation from May 81 to 30 at the
Claypool; 300 are expected at the
National Building officials Confer
ence May 81 to 81 in the Severn.
and $50 are expected at the Inter
national Association of Gyro Clubs
May % to 81 at the Lincoln
Other large hotels say the in
quiries on reservations are brisk and
at least one other hotel has booked
to capacity for the race. Other
managers confidently predict solid
bookings.

values of the nation are being de-
strOyed by the politicians"
The public works projects that
have been carried out they insist,
could have been realized for
third of the money. The pro-
gressive things that have been
done for the people represent only
crumbs thrown from the tables of
Gales and the new ruling class"
But all things take time in Mex
leo. In the center of the capital
stands huge arch-shaped struc-
ture, partly covered with concrete,
the remainder bare girders. 1t was
begun in 1905 by Porf1rio Diaz as a
hall of congress.
Then came the revolution and
it was decided to construct a
Monument Of the Revolution.
The revolution is now 25 years old
and the monument was only APP
proximately half completed when
work was stopped recently because
Of lack of funds.
Perhaps when it is finished the
revolution will have fulfilled its
aim.

But looking behind these seri-
Gus and sincere efforts to realize
the demand for land and liber-
ty" which gave birth to the revO-
luton, it can be seen that, as in
colonial days, as during the Diaz
dictatorship, the country's econ
omy is really controlled by
small group of men.
T. n
HEADING these is the Chief
Il 4 of the Revolution" and poll
teal dictator, Gen. Plutarco Elias
Gales, and about a dozen others
who own properties as large as
any of those possessed by the
hated "scientifcoS" of the Diaz
era.
Gales and his associates con-
troll the principal sources Of pro-
duction and distributor and have
a hand in almost every profitable
business.
A survey of their extensive in
terests creates serious doubts as
to the sincerity as whole of the
revolutionary" government and
movement, and as to whether it
can ever be a success.
Chief boast of the revolution is
that it has created thousands of
new schools, raised salaries, i'm
proved living conditions, con-
structed railroads and highways
and irrigation sysytems, and aided
the working and farming classes.

In the later years of his life he devoted himself pro-
fessionally to the practice Of medicine and ne was,
for many years physician to the great Saladn, VINO
led the Mohammedans during the CruSades.

EAIMONIDES ate only one meal each day and he

for long life is moderation in all things.
He mentioned particularly moderation IN Diet,
pointing out that overeang is responsible for Ill

At time when the average expectancy at birth

old which may be an indication that ne unlike
many other physicians, practced always what he
preached.
If there is one other aspect Of his life that ought
to be emphasized in relationship to our modern
knowledge Of medical science, it IS his emphasis on
the mind and soul Of man in relation to his physical
condition.
He preached very strongly the necessity for in
dividualizing every patient.

centuries before the Spanlards
conquered Mexico.
The industrial worker as re-
suit Of the revolution, has for
many years enjoyed rights which
members Of his class in other
countries are still fighting TO OBJ
tain.
Most of these are grs ated under
a labor law which provides pay
ment Of three months salary for
unjust dismissal, fixes a maximum
OF AZ hours weekly for day workers
and AZ for night jobs, assures va
cations with pay. medical atten-
ton, and similar rights.
A minimum salary is also guar
anteed and there Is legislation TO
protect women ana child workers.
THE rights 10 collective bar
4 gaining and to strike have
been long recognized, and the lat

present, with employees Of foreign
owned companies especially ag-
gressive in this respect.
As the courts recently upheld
a labor board decision forcing
subsidiary of the Standard Oil
Company of New Jersey to pay
its employees full wages while on
strike, and because it is generally
believed that a group OF Moscow

support Of some government off,

a stevedore's suit.
In the capital, for example,
only about 10000 of the million
population live according 10
standards common in the United
States. The majority of these are
part of the vast bureaucracy
which makes up the principal
population of the cities.

Qess than dollar at the current
exchange and the cost of living
has increased rapidly in the last
year The government is seeking
a way to hold down the prices
of commodities, but they have
continued to soar
So it is doubtful if, judging
from an American standpoint. the
workers have gained many real
benefits from the minimum pay.
Such comparison is difficult
to make when it is considered
that Mexico is only beginning to
be industrialized and trying 20 de-
velop an economy of its own to
replace the colonial economy
which ruled for 400 years and
made Mexico one Of the most
backward nations in the world in
1910.
President Lazaro Cardenas adj

has a long way to go, in a speech
in which he described conditions
in the country by saying there

The nation, Cardenas has said,
is still attempting to wipe out
the last traces of the regime of
exploitation.
To accomplish this and to carry
to a finish the aims of the reVolu-
ton, the Economic Institute of
the Partido Nacional Revolution
ario, the countrys only political
party, has formulated the Six
Year Plan, which outlines a more
rapid program of land distribu-
ton, provides for public works,
educational improvements, par
tial Specialization of industry and
increased native control of the
principal industries and sources of
wealth, still mainly in the hands

N population of the country,
the revolutionary program has
destroyed the colonial system of
huge estates, but it has been i'm
possible, as industry creeps in, to
restore the ancient Indian system
of communal villages, self depend
ent and isolated.
AS a result, there has been a
tremendous maladjustment, which
will be difficult to overcome. The
Indian worker now gets more for
his labor and for his products,
but his purchasing power is still
very small.
Successful experiments in APP
plying the agrarian program have
been made in several states and
especially in San Luis PotoSi.

been carried out to the benefit
