That is to say, it "natiomilizes" ' its coal, :s Great Britain has talked vaguely of doing in the course of its long mining war. Mexico recently made a similar declaration regarding her petroleum. The new mining laws, .on which the coal ruling is based, apply to 'all her mineral .wealth. ; ; Thus the Mexican government takes another flyer i.i t'conomic idealism and piles up additional trouble for itself ill ilu rolulifittu u.iil, ,.tl,n. ....It......

It is believed that present 'ownership of such wealth by aliens will be recognized, ex isting concessions being confirmed or having new ones substituted for them, but the whole matter is still uncertain. ! it remains to be shown whether Mexico can oerate her coal industry any more satisfactorily under government ownership and control than Hie United States and Ureal Britain have operated theirs under private auspices. If she can, state socialism w ill become more respectable. Un successful in many similar things, we entertain little hope for her success at this. erably higher.
