Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Political Shame of Mexico In this book are described many occurrences which the writer saw and the characters and acts of many persons whom he know more or less intimately. The knowledge which came through direct observation was supplemented, while it was being acquired and afterwards, by very fortunate investigations undertaken in the banning as a business necessity. During the time when the responsibility for Mexico was so securely fastened upon the United States that it could not be shaken off, the author of this volume was most favorably situated for the acquirement of information - and by that word is meant the core and not the rind. The distinction is vitally important, for in Mexico things are never what they seem. This general truth seems there to have a particular manifestation, for though Mexico is next neighbor to the United States, the government at Washington, if one may judge by its acts, has seen on the far side of the Rio Grande nothing but a series of illusions many of them artificially produced in a manner which I have here attempted to describe. It may be asserted with confidence that the mere outward and visible story of Mexico, a record of what happened on the surface from the last days of Diaz to the most recent incident of American interference, would puzzle rather than enlighten the usual reader, even though inaccurately told.

THE POLITICAL SHAME OF MEXICO CHAPTER I IN order to justify the text that in Mexico things are never what they seem, let us cite an instance very conspicuous. This will necessitate glancing back a little way, four years or thereabouts, along the panorama of that country's recent history. So glancing, the observer's eye is naturally attracted to a brilliant spot, in a physical sense surely the best lighted scene of Mexico's drama. The reference is to the great Diaz celebration with its myriad lamps. There we shall come upon a clue which will lead us to the end of the story, out of the brilliance into the shadow, and through paths exceedingly obscure, hopelessly difficult for those that have no guide. The centenary of Mexico's independence was celebrated in September, that dazzling September of 1910. For the entire month the "asphalt section" of Mexico's capital was cleared of its twelve hundred beggars and dressed in its party clothes. Receptions, banquets, parades -- all the spectacular extravagances of a nation's festival -- filled the days and nights with obvious rejoicing. The most beautiful women from interior and coast cities and from the haciendas of the "hot country" were gathered in Mexico City and distributed like flowers to grace a thousand entertainments. Special envoys from all the great nations and most of the little ones of Europe, Asia, Africa and every variety of America -- torrid, temperate and frozen -- were present to participate in the events that marked the realization in Mexico of the fabled golden age, the season of prosperity and peace. Such honors as come only to the exalted were heaped upon Porfirio Diaz. He was "The Moses and Joshua of his people" by the phrase of Andrew Carnegie, "The prodigy of nature ..".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mexican Problems The recent triumph of the Liberal or Popular Party in Mexico, after almost 4 years of struggle, presents a unique opportunity for the carrying of certain economic changes which will destroy forever the dangerous political power of those egotistical groups composed of big landowners, who up to now have maintained the working classes in a state of slavery and ignorance. It is only recently that the conspiracy of si lence in regard to the monopoly of the land, - the censurable policy of Porfirio Diaz and; of Huerta - was broken; and as there are still many educated people in the Mexican Federation who are not acquainted with the facts in the case, 1 shall dedicate this chapter to the his tory of the land.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Regime in Mexico As a result the presidential reign of Porfirio Diaz, cov ering, with the exception of four years, the period from 1876 until 1911, stands in marked contrast to the political instability and financial bankruptcy which characterized Mexico's first half century as an independent nation.' Since the causes for the revolution, which, we trust, definitely came to an end just a few months ago, are to be found in this thir ty-five year period, some general considerations concerning the chief actor and the period as a whole are pertinent. Largely of Indian blood himself - therefore conscious of the political and social incapacities of the Mexican people - and schooled as he was by years of experience in the political up heavals of the past few decades, Porfirio Diaz sensed with remarkable foresight the great need of his country, namely, political stability which he proposed to secure through a strong executive. By the blood and iron policy of a Bis marck, or the Machiavellian policy of an Italian prince, or acting on the theory that every man has his price - by either or all of these methods, it mattered not which - Diaz soon succeeded in bringing order otof chaos, and in establish ing political stability and financial responsibility where kaleidoscopic changes of government and bankruptcy had been the rule theretofore. But in spite of this, once safely in power, Diaz feigned a desire to proceed strictly along the paths of constitutionality; the constitution, instead of being a thing to be set aside or ignored at will, was con veni'ently and legally amended whenever his program so de manded. As a result, Mexico began to recuperate, and, for Zthe first time in their history, Mexicans came to realize that peace and prosperity go hand in hand. Industry, commerce.

Download or read book The Mexican Situation written by Luis Cabrera and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mexican Situation: From a Mexican Point of View Much has been said in the United States about the Mexican situation, but actual conditions in Mexico have never been fully understood, because they have always been examined from an American point of view. The sources from which Americans draw their information about Mexico are chiefly foreign residents and investors, who are very apt to consider the Mexican situation only from the standpoint of their own interests. All that foreigners seek in Mexico is the re-establishment of a state of things favoring the continuation and promotion of business. They generally believe that the conditions of Mexicans themselves and those issues of a purely national character do not concern them, and consequently they do not regard them as necessary factors in the problem as they understand it. Hence it is that the solutions suggested, although beneficial perhaps to foreign interests, do not tend to solve the Mexican problem itself. To fully understand the Mexican situation and to find a solution satisfactory both to Mexican and foreign interests it is necessary to review the question from a Mexican point of view. Such is the purpose of this memorandum. The Rule of the Iron Hand The majority of foreigners in Mexico believe that the only political problem which interests them is peace. But, misled by superficial judgment or inspired by impatience, they have believed that the establishment of peace depends only on the energy with which the country is governed. All foreigners in Mexico look for a rigorous government, an iron hand or a mailed fist, and the only thing they discuss is whether a certain man is sufficiently "strong" to control the country. And when they find a man with such qualities, foreigners always have believed that it was their duty to help that man to come into power and to support him.

Spain and Her Methods Overthrown Can anyone imagine a harder task than fell to Juarez as he thus undertook to revolutionize, to reverse, to educate, to rebuild? He was confronted with the army in full co operation with the church. He had to contend with the incubus of settled methods of belief and action. He was face to face with a superstition which was pitiable. The people did not know what political, what religious liberty was. They had been taught that it was treason, heresy, sacrilege, to think a new aspiring thought or to do an inde pendent act.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Intervention in Mexico A professor is sometimes defined as a person who thinks otherwise. Not many years ago an eminent American statesman who was once a professor bade the people of Mexico Godspeed in gaining for and by themselves true political freedom, and pledged himself that, so far as he could prevent it, no one should interfere with them. Has the situation of our southern neighbor changed so materially since then, or are we thinking otherwise? There was a time in our history when civil war nearly rent the nation asunder. Luckily, we had all of our political troubles that had to be settled by fighting packed into four years. In this respect the only difference between Mexico and ourselves is that the fighting has been spread over most of a century. When the struggle was on in our own case we called it a war and made it conform somewhat to the Sherman definition. So have the Mexicans, only more so. Happily for us, in our great civil convulsion the foreigners, who lost their lives or property because of the destruction that accompanies warfare were few. Unhappily for Mexico, the number of such foreigners is considerable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
