During the past three years of the Cardenas administration (he has three more to do), twenty-five mil- lion acres of land have been ex- propriated, among them whole re- gions of the most valuable farming territory in the republic, such as the Laguna in north central Mex- ico, one of the best cotton-produc- ing areas anywhere, and the Yu- catan, in the south east, one of the world’s important henequen-grow- ing districts. .
