add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the social and political developments in Mexico during 1921. The author remarks that fifteen years ago Mexico had its first labor strike, and today it has a labor President. When the Mexican President F. Carranza fell ten months ago he was succeeded by Adolfo de la Huerta, a native of Sonora, Mexico, who was active in the labour strike referred to. Carranza had begun well. But the old First Chief was not of the people. He loved progress as a fine principle, as an astronomer loves the stars. Within a year various state regimes, acting under pressure of their constituents, were proceeding independently of Mexico City to apply the blessings of the revolution to town and country workers.
