On Side of Masses

Recently, leaving aside all other matters, he devoted three weeks tC trip through nothern and centra states, during which be listened tc complaints from workers and peas. ants and promised them his whole hearted aid.
 These classes are obviously his chief preoccupation.
 The minister of education, Ig- nacio Garcia Tellez, declared in a speech that private property can have no place in the revolutionary scheme"
 His statements have not been contradicted, by any other official, despite the fact that the agrarian program of land distribution is based on private ownership.
 A convention of one of the coun- try's most powerful labor organiza- tions, the General Confederation of Workers and Peasants (CROM), is scheduled soon, and it will be asked to adopt a platform calling for SO.

Viewed as Revenge

One widely circulated explana- tion of the constant moves against the Aguila is that a promi- nent politician is attempting to get personal revenge on the British firm because he is unable to take out of London, without payment of large taxes to the British govern ment, huge sums that he has banked there.
 Although the Aguila case is ap- parently an isolated one. there is a determined move, according to the same government official quoted above, to drive foreign capital out of Mexico.
 'Wc are tired of a century of foreign exploitation, during which we have been working not for our selves, but for stockholders in for eign countries" he stated. We propose to end it all at all costs. though it may mean that we have to go back to eating beans and tortillas and living a strictly agri- cultural life.

Real Rulers Bide Time

Importance of both the radical and anti-foreign movements will be determined eventually, it ap- pears, by the attitude of the small group of persons who are the real rulers of Mexico today, as well as by the attitude which foreign coun- tries may decide to adopt.

Good Evening.

Today apple trees are in bloom, Liacs are next in line To spread their fragrance this month ot May So sweet it's hard to define. When you come of sudden on an old orchard Of apple trees gnarled and twisted, Partly or all over a mass of white, you think A more perfect picture never existed. Look your look these days of blossoming For flowers bloom but to pine; The fragrance of May is in the air With hlacs next in line.

Corrmsn ad Expulsion of Fo,eigne,y 6y gh Official

So far, the interests of this Mexi- can group have not been endan- gered and they have not stepped fin, but if at any time they decide to do so, they will probably be able to put quick end to these move- ments.
 This politico-military group of business men, headed by Gen. Plutarco Elias Gales and Gen. Abelardo Rodriguez, virtually con- trols the country's economic life. It holds nonopolies on the sale of the principal products and it's members are the largest landown- CTS and the richest men in Mexico.
 It is true that small farmers and producers have received many ben efits through establishment of COG operatives. as in Vera Cruz and To- baEco, and that agrarinns are well organized in San Luis Potosi and several other states, but the bulk of the profits sitll goes to the Revolutionary leaders.

EL PASO, Tex, May l4- IL Is Mexico headed toward communism?
 This answer is given by one of the group of advisers closest to President Lazaro Car denas: ''It decidedly isl"
 eve are directing all our ener- gies to this end," this official stated. 'iMaybe the present government will mot achieve it. If not, this government will not last long.
 Maybe those who initiate the movement will become corrupt, as have those who led the. present revolutionary movement. If so, they will be removed. But the move ment will continue"
 It is unlikely that this group can count on the entire support of General Cardenas or that its strength is as great as its spokes- men believe, but there is no doubt that Mexico is in the midst of what on the surface is a definite move- ment toward the left, but which many persons regard as only g smoke screen designed to blind the increasingly dissatisfied working and peasant classes.
 Strikes are growing daily in number and importance and are being used not as a means of de- fense, but as weapon of aggres- sion. General Cardenas. firmly de- termined to seek the economic lib eration and cultural uplift of the masses, has shown himself unques- tionably on the side of the work CTS in every case brought to his attention.

Business Is Good

It is remarkable that despite the threatening situation rapidly de- veloping. the country is probably better off economically than for many years. Foreign companies still manage to make profits despite heavy taxes and numerous strikes.
 Retail eand wholesale business is improving, according to official fig ures. A minimum salary law as- sures workers of better income and has reflected itself in improvde bus mess.
 Stabilization of the peso at 3.60 to the dollar, which position it has held firmly for more than year, even during the recent silver furry. has increased exports and develop- ment of native industry.
 In conferences between the as- sistant treasury secretary. Roberto Lopez, and the U. S. treasury sec- retary. Henry Morgenthau, Jr., it is believed agreements were reached to prevent any dangers of monetary conflict over the U. s. silver price policy.

Tourist Trade Booms

Banks, in good shape, reopened- promptly after the silver holi- day" incident to calling in metal lie silver coins and substituting notes and copper and nickel coins.
 The government is furnishing funds to aid home-owning and farm classes, and the tourist trade is boombing. Better auto-road con-, nections between the United States and Mexico should be ready this summer, as work is being rushed on the road south from Laredo to Mexico City.
 The hundreds of thousands of pesos which this trade will bring into the country are expected to be factor in increasing prosperity.

Little Fear of Plot

Still somewhat vague plans for establishment of "proletarian dictatorship" are being plotted from within the government itself, with the public approval of Garcia Tellez and other officials, but are not regarded as much impor- tance by those at whom they are aimed.
 These leaders feel that it would be decidedly inconvenient to the United States to have a Commu- nistic nation just across its borders, and also believe their own mili- tary and political strength is suf- ficient to mete any threats.
 A program of aggression against foreign companies seems to be shaping up, with the Agulia Petro- leum Company, subsidiary of the British Eagle Petroleum Company. as. the principal victim up to the present.
