But people impatient of the delay in recognition must realize the cause. Can Mexico adjust herself to modern conditions? Russia, throwing off her autocratic tradition, is at present in a chaotic state; but Russia's salvation lies in the fundamentally sound unit, the zemstvi, and she can build from the ground up.
