Winn.2129 Woman's Society HEAR OF MEXICO Dr. Paul Hutchinson, "Winnetka's own Psycho-analyst," as he was most happily introduced, addressed the Woman's Society of the Winnetka Congregational 'church, Wednesday, February 2. To see in what numbers and with what eagerness people gather to learn the first hand, unadulterated truth in regard to current events makes one an ardent optimist. That Dr. Hut- chinson had this truth, in so far as it is obtainable, was assured, since his recent trip to Mexico had this object. He said in part, "The sources of trouble with Mexico are oil and land, not the Nicaragua situation nor the bolshevist menace, as stated to the | BEAUTY SHOP Phone Winnetka 2176 We specialize in facial work done by the only scientific method. that of strength- ening the facial muscles to perform their natural func- tions, which imparts a glow to the skin. Permanent Marcel Waving + BEAUTY SHOP Ethel M. Taylor 818-A Elm St., Winnetka public. This is an over simple state- ment of a complex situation, of course. | "The oil question is most intricate, son. In order to get at the roots of | it, he found it necessary to take with | him on these Mexican interviews an ing and kindred affairs, to help in the interpretation of the tangled questions. "Whether the new laws which went into effect January 1 amount to con- fiscation of the oil property, either ac- tual or threatened, depends largely upon the legal viewpoint. If the ques- tion is regarded from the Anglo-Saxon point of view, which is that the United States, with its belief in absolute fee- simple, "Heaven to Hell" ownership, the answer would probably be ves. If, however, the question is viewed from the viewpoint of Mexican law, which is based upon Spanish law, which as- serts that "the final title to all lands abides in the Crown," it becomes quite another question." Dr. Hutchinson declared that the oil question was an ideal one for arbitra- tion. To quote President Calles, "The differences are not a moral kind. They have not a single characteristic in which the honor and dignity of the two countries is affected. It is wholly an abstract question as to something which the oil men say is going to hap- pen 80 years from now." Incidentally it might be stated that Dr. Hutchinson returned with the deep- est respect and admiration for Presi- dent Calles and some of his ministers. With the exception of a few large American companies, the oil interests have agreed to the Mexican demands, consequently Dr. Hutchinson hopes for a speedy settlement of the question. Of the settlement of the land ques- tion, however, he was not so optimis- tic. The attempt to break up the tre- mendous individual holdings is not new. For 50 or 60 years the question has agitated Mexico. It offends church and foreigners alike. He traced brief- ly the origin of these holdings, and the various laws in regard to them. Many of these huge areas are now in American hands. Mr. Hearst has vast estates, his smallest one, in the state of Chihuahua, being said to be 960,000 acres in extent. The proposal of the Mexican government to redeem these lands by long time bonds on their tax- ation value, would naturally be un- popular. Mexico declares that she is not prohibiting foreigners from hold- ing land, merely demanding that they especially legally," said Dr. Hutchin- | American lawyer, an expert in min- | hold it as citizens of Mexico, subject to her laws. Dr. Hutchinson made a plea that in considering these questions the ele- ments involved in the Mexican side of the case be considered. "We must re- member," he said, "that the oil wells and land are in Mexico; that the basis of Mexican law is entirely different from that of Anglo-Saxon law: that we must also realize that our course | of actipn now will have great influence upon the future of the masses in Mex- ico." Dr. Hutchinson feels that if we give the present strong leaders a quiet, clear field in which to develop their strong educational program, that no one can foretell the rapidity of the rise of the people in Mexico. During the morning sewing session, the society discussed the question of its part in the life of the church and its work. Mrs. David Lasier conducted the devotions preceding the luncheon. The encouraging and modern change going on in Mexico today, the new interest in the peon, the economic and social revolution taking place in Mexico, were included in the address made by Dr. Hutchinson before a gathering of church members and friends Sunday evening, January 30, at the evening service of worship. The earnest desire of the department of education to establish schools, to edu- cate the savage peons was described by Dr. Hutchinson. He told of the establishment of 1200 schools in one district. of the traveling schools, in which a group of educators will travel a certain territory, teaching the teach- ers how to teach. He told of the re- demption of land, which while another question, is again an educational pro- gram. At tract of land is divided into small parcels, ten acres to the peon, an agricultural instructor appointed, and teacher. The peons are raught how to cultivate their land, easily and beneficially. He also told of the great stretches of land owned by men who established central huts. Perched on the top of a steel tower, sat the overseerer who watched the laboring peons all day. At night the workers were marched back to the hut, counted as they walked in, and thus they worked every day. Top- ping the overseerers' tower, was a cross in awful contrast to the cruel system. Dr. Hutchinson left the impression in the minds of the audience, that there are two sides to the Mexican question. His plea was indirectly for tolerance. WINNETKA FOLKS By C. R.
