THE following inspiring senti-

, relations, of Mexico.
The privilege Of printing these
extracts has been accorded your
coIumnist and they are herewith
reproduced to inform the people
of the United States Of the full
sincerity and effective co-opera-
ton of Mexico In the plan and
program of continental solidarity.
These important utterances
could not come from a more in
formed and authoritative source.
WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST.
NNEXICO will uphold the doc
lVl trine of continental solidarity
just as steadfastIy as the other
peoples OF the Americas, for by
SO doing she will defend her own
destinies.
The struggle for human liberties
and international justice, which
constitute the essence OF the doc
trine of Pan-Americanism. Is what
has, through our stormy history,
won for us unity and the cohesion
OF a common fatherland.
The dream OF the Mexican
people has ever been freedom Of
belief, freedom of thought and
freedom to live their own life.
One thing we have learned Is
that economic justice. the recap
ture OF our most cherished social
rights, must not be sought in the
dark and glnnmy- paths of dicta-
torship.
Nothing can ever make amends
10 the hearts Of men for the loss
OF their liberties.
To us, democracy means sure
and certain instrument of achiev-
ing the ends of justice. The history
of Mexico is the story Of the de-
Tense of her sovereignty and Of the
ideals of justice ionged for by the

The bitter experience acquired
