SPEAKS TO "Y"
ON "MEXICO"
Contends That United States
Should Leave Mexico
Alone
MEXICO HOSTILE TO U.S.A.
Economical Conditions of Mexico
Discussed By Dr. W. H.
Callcott
That the United States should leave
Mexico to attend her own affairs, or
a' least adopt a new foreign policy,
was the opinion expressed by Dr. W.
H. Callcott in speaking at the "Y"
meeting in chapel last Sunday night
on the subject of Mexico."
Mexico under the leadership of Diaz
was discussed extensively. This ruler
came into power in 1876 and the gov
ermient under him fell in 1910 when he
had become very old and the peon
class under the leadership of Madero,
a wealthy idealist, revolted. Mexico
developed under the leadership of
Diaz as it had never done before.
Wealth and economic progress wa;
his motto.
"If you Want to be a hero in Mexi
co. insult the United States," asserted
the speaker.
Henry Lane Wilsoii became U-'iitedi
States ambassador in Mtexico following
the reign of Diaz. The speaker claim
ed that the American embassy was the
seat of a true conspiracy against the
Mexican government.
"A iew constitution was drawn ilp
which was to cause some of trouble
continued the speaker, in telling of the
government nder Diaz. It provided
that the working day of the Mexican
dhould be limited strictly to eight hour,
and that over time pay should be paid
for extra -work. The Catholics were
to be treated very harshly according
to the colstitition.
Dr. Callcott told of the severe re
strictions put on the Cat holics. and
especially the clergy. It provided that
no clergyman could vote, that if a
.priest was caught wearing customary
garb, that lie should be heavily finled.
and that no church could own proper
ty. He explained that under Diaz the
churches had been owning 'property
unconstitutionally.
Mexico was described as being some
what like the territory. around Spar
tanbtrg, without its trees, containing
a lot of brush, with no rain. It is. he
continued. about one-fourth as largt
as the United States and has a popu
lation of about 3,000,000. In 1010
Wily about 15 per cent of the children
were literate and now nearly 60 per
cent are in school.
"If you ask the business man about
enditions in Mexico." continued the
speaker." y'ou are likely' to be sur,
prised.'
H-e explained that thlei-- a nswe'
would likely be very favorable and
'hat conditions ini Mexico were great
ly improving, Hie added that the oit
produtct ion wvas opening tup andl t hat
lhe taxes on it paid by thle corpora -
tions were usually low anid were by no
means confiscatorv', as has been~
brought out in ,sonie reports.
"[There were less taxes paid by thle
corporations in Mexico last year oni
this oil, than was paid in incopie taxe's
in Amierica by the people handling this
same oil." declared the speaker.
Dr. C'allcott was of the opinion that
Mexici should be left more to her
'wyn welfare. but statecthhat she was
