One can only believe that when new and more fanciful ways are discovered for the waste of the taxpayers money. there will always be those in Washington who can think up ways to pull the plug. Now. all of this would not be so bad If our goodneighbor policy were actually bearing fruit. but what was the attitude noticed by my friends among the Mexican people themselves? First of all. he noticed a rather famous New York subway engineer. a not too recent immigrant from Russia. who now claims to be losing money building a tunnel in Puebla on lendlease funds. Of course. it would be difficult for any legitimate contractor to make money while sitting in Ciros famous night club surrounded by a bevy of attractive senoritas and demanding attention of four or five waiters while other patrons are trying to be waited upon. Uncouth tactics such as these only add to the Mexicans dislike for the Americano. and yet this case is but one of many which my friend saw where a similar feeling is being created by other than a truly representative American.
