English Summary: Sr. Vivo considers the Indian problem as part of the agrarian problem of America, although with its peculiarities. Land distribution and the abolition of feudal forms of economic exploitation (sharecropping, personal services, etc.) are important steps toward the welfare of the Indian, but they are not the only ones. Technical and economic resources should be made available, land conservation and recuperation is important, as are irrigation and colonization projects. Cooperative production which can afford farm machinery should be adopted, agricultural credit established, the best use made of forests, vegetation, animals and minerals. Other Indian needs are improved techniques and development of the popular arts, organization of cooperatives for distribution and credit for popular industries, better communications and electrification in Indian regions, the reconstruction of Indian economic organization, recognition of the legal personality of the tribe, and general protection of Indian interests.
