Through such a man God could control a nation overnight and solve every last, bewildering problem. . . . Spain has taught us what godless Communism will bring. Human problems aren't economic. They're moral, and they can't be solved by immoral measures.

When President Cardenas last week gave Canabal the portfolio of Agriculture a good many people breathed easier. They thought it meant that the new Administration will lean toward more drastic enforcement of Mexico's radical expropriation laws ("Land to the peons!") and ease up a bit on the Church. Taking no chances, pious mobsters showered Canabal with stones when they caught his motor car leaving the home of ex-President Calles at Cuernavaca, screamed "Curse...
