BEFORE THE WORLD- Public Documents and Addresses of PLUTARCO ELIAS CALLES. Translated from the Spanish and edited by ROBERT HAMMOND MURRAY. Originally published in 1927. FOREWORD: This compilation of a portion of the public docu ments and addresses of President Calles has been made with the object of providing an adequate and a convenient reference source for the benefit of those who seek authoritative information upon the man and his work and upon topics relevant to the present state of governmental, social, economic and kindred conditions in Mexico. It constitutes a pres entation and a record of the official and personal aspirations of the President and also of the govern ment and the masses of Mexico upon national neces sities and problems, and especially in matters which concern Mexicos international relations. In this book answers will be found to virtually all of the questions upon which illumination may be desired by persons who are interested in knowing what is being done in Mexico and why, and in the develop ment of President Calles programme of reform and reconstruction. New York, December, 1927. President Plutarco Elias Calles, who at present is directing the destinies of the Mexican people, is an exceptional states man, a notable personality in every way, a man worthy of the admiration of culti oated intellects Educated in modern socialistic ideas and conscious of the des tinies of his country, General Calles is establishing a government of reparation and justice and leading Mexico along proper lines in the direction of social re forms. Hence he is supported by millions of workmen and tillers of the soil who rep resent the vital forces of the country. Few elements in Mexico are in opposition to his great and fruitful programme of national reconstruction, which should serve as an example to all the nations of America. MEXICO IN NEWS AND IN FACT E. Gomez de Baquero, in El Sol, Madrid, December 25, 1926. Each week, if not more frequently, the cable brings sensational information from Mexico of Indian uprisings, popular dis turbances, military revolts, bloody official repressions, threats of war with the United States. Later most of these reports are authoritatively denied, but in the meantime they have gone the rounds of the press of the world, transmitted by the news agencies of the United States. This anthology of disasters, as Alfonso Reyes remarked during his lectures at Lyons, is too systematic to be free from the suspicion of being inspired. One does not need to be a seer to perceive in this press cam paign against Mexico an incongruous mix ture of oil and holy water and the irrita tion of Big Business, of the captains and sergeants of industry, before the sight of Mexico defending its petroleum, its mines and its agriculture from foreign economic domination and also the opposition of the Catholic Church against the laws of secu larization, which last, perhaps, is creating more clamor outside of Mexico than within the country itself. This coincidence of temporal and spiritual motives is not sur prising. Are the Knights of Columbus not seeking to organize a Protestant crusade, considering that the Protestants are in a majority in the United States, to aid the Catholic Church against Mexico and its obstinate determination not to permit the monopolization of oil or of conscience The poet Lopez Velarde was correct when he told the Mexicans that the oil deposits in that country were the gift of the devil...

Early in a sixteen-year sojourn in Mexico as an engineer for an American mining company, John W. F. Dulles became fascinated by the story of Mexico’s emergence as a modern nation, and was imbued with the urge to tell that story as it had not yet been told—by letting events speak for themselves, without any interpretations or appraisal. The resultant book offers an interesting paradox: it is “chronicle” in the medieval sense—a straightforward record of events in chronological order, recounted with no effort at evaluation or interpretation; yet in one aspect it is a highly personal narrative, since much of its significant new material came to Dulles as a result of personal interviews with principals of the Revolution. From them he obtained firsthand versions of events and other reminiscences, and he has distilled these accounts into a work of history characterized by thorough research and objective narration. These fascinating interviews were no more important, however, than were the author’s many hours of laborious search in libraries for accounts of the events from Carranza’s last year to Calles’ final retirement from the Mexican scene. The author read scores of impassioned versions of what transpired during these fateful years, accounts written from every point of view, virtually all of them unpublished in English and many of them documents which had never been published in any language. Combining this material with the personal reminiscences, Dulles has provided a narrative rich in its new detail, dispassionate in its presentation of facts, dramatic in its description of the clash of armies and the turbulence of rough-and-tumble politics, and absorbing in its panoramic view of a people’s struggle. In it come to life the colorful men of the Revolution —Obregón, De la Huerta, Carranza, Villa, Pani, Carillo Puerto, Morones, Calles, Portes Gil, Vasconcelos, Ortiz Rubio, Garrido Canabal, Rodríguez, Cárdenas. (Dulles’ narrative of their public actions is illumined occasionally by humorous anecdotes and by intimate glimpses.) From it emerges also, as the main character, Mexico herself, struggling for self-discipline, for economic stability, for justice among her citizens, for international recognition, for democracy. This account will be prized for its encyclopedic collection of facts and for its important clarification of many notable events, among them the assassination of Carranza, the De La Huerta revolt, the assassination of Obregón, the trial of Toral, the resignation of President Ortiz Rubio, and the break between Cárdenas and Calles. More than sixty photographs supplement the text.

Each volume of the Dictionary of World Biography contains 250 entries on the lives of the individuals who shaped their times and left their mark on world history. This is not a who's who. Instead, each entry provides an in-depth essay on the life and career of the individual concerned. Essays commence with a quick reference section that provides basic facts on the individual's life and achievements. The extended biography places the life and works of the individual within an historical context, and the summary at the end of each essay provides a synopsis of the individual's place in history. All entries conclude with a fully annotated bibliography.

This unique book traces Mexico's eventful years from 1910 to 1952 through the experiences of its state governors. During this seminal period, revolutionaries destroyed the old regime, created a new national government, built an official political party, and then discarded in practice the essence of their revolution. In this tumultuous time, governors—some of whom later became president—served as the most significant intermediaries between the national government and the people it ruled. Leading scholars study governors from ten different states to demonstrate the diversity of the governors' experiences implementing individual revolutionary programs over time, as well as the waxing and waning of strong governorship as an institution that ultimately disappeared in the powerful national regime created in the 1940s and 1950s. Until that time, the contributors convincingly argue, the governors provided the revolution with invaluable versatility by dealing with pressing issues of land, labor, housing, and health at the local and regional levels. The flexibility of state governors also offered test cases for the implementation of national revolutionary laws and campaigns. The only book that considers the state governors in comparative perspective, this invaluable study offers a fresh view of regionalism and the Revolution. Contributions by: William H. Beezley, Jürgen Buchenau, Francie R. Chassen-López, Michael A. Ervin, María Teresa Fernández Aceves, Paul Gillingham, Kristin A. Harper, Timothy Henderson, David LaFrance, Stephen E. Lewis, Stephanie J. Smith, and Andrew Grant Wood.
