Armstead lays out US roles in Mexican land and education
Henry H Armstead, back from Mexico, argues the Mexican crisis hinges on land reform and widespread schooling. He recalls Cortez era land grants and Diaz era rule, urging U.S. backing to fund land purchases for peons and enforce literacy before any lasting peace.
