LAND AND THE MEXICAN REVO
LUTION.
The Springfield Republican »ug
gPßtp that the constitutional move
ment la likely to result In a popular
diatrlbution of land, and confer upon
Mexico the same benefit* in till* re
spect hn accrued to France through
the revolution in 178 S», and draw*
rather optimistic conclusion* from
certain milttar> decree* recently is
sued by I’anvho Villa
It is to be feared that the Republi
can is seeking to persuade Itself of
the soundness of the placid views
which it has all along held with re
gard to the Mexican situation and
that it is confounding a popular up
rising with banditry and personal am
bition.
The French revolution caiTß* about
as a holocaust that fed upon iuel pre
pared Tor it by centuries of intoler
able oppression and class distinction,
while the constitutionalist revolt In
Mexico is merely g sectional upheaval
centering about the personalities ot
a group of men whose past careers
do not indicate that the Mexican peo
ple as a whole have reason to expect
justice or liberality from them.
The French revolution enlisted the
sympathies and support of a great ma
jority of the poorer classes, while the
constitutionalist movement in Mexico
finds its bone and sinew in the con-
central lon of tlfteen or twenty thou
sand despera.lj««. ttie greater pnrUuii
of whom enjoy records or lawlessness
and crime
The French revolution was dlsllnct
ly a struggle of the masses against
i the classes, while the constitutional
11st movement Is distinctly a struggle
|of on.* portion of the masses and
elassns against another portion us the
masse-, anil .lasses
As the Republican points out. the
land problem la undoubtedly l!)e
greatest contributing cause to the con
stant unrest In Mexico, hut that the
constitutionalist movement will solve
It, or that the leaders of this move
ment have any desire or Intent to W
tempt Its solution, except In Isolated
Instances, whede It Is obviously to
their Interest to do so, Is not at all
clear
It la quite noticeable that th<s
hacendados who an- Trlendly to Villa
and t'aranxa remain In untroubled
possession of lheir holdings, and It
is more noticeable si 111 iliat some of
toetn are actually Increasing their pos
session*. Among the latter may be
mentioned Villa and Carranza them
selves It la also noticeable that the
pot ular distributions that have thus
lar been made have been exclusively
for the benefit of the soldiery, and
that the lands ao lar taken were pre
empted for puriKisea of spite and v.-n
geanee. Ah an economic problem the
distribution or land does not Interest
either Villa or Carrania. Imt as a
means of punishing their personal
••in rules and rewarding their personal
followers It Is selged upon by them
as a paramount Issue.
