Abstract

Watch Mexico
March 25, 1944 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the political situation of Mexico. The Bolivian coup and the confusion surrounding its origins made the Mexican government acutely aware that similar dangers threaten Mexico. While there was no concrete evidence that agents of the Berlin-Madrid-Buenos Aires axis were directly interfering in Mexican affairs, certain elements common to nearly all Latin American countries were undoubtedly at work, and President Manuel Avila Camacho took immediate action to forestall a crisis. The extraordinary indirection of Camacho's defensive strategy was fairly typical of his whole policy, which is based fundamentally upon the economic rather than the political situation in Mexico.
