Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Trading With Mexico
This book is not a radical document. It does not seek to explain the problems of today in terms of to-morrow. The author finds in the radical movements of the present the leaven of the fu ture - little else. He sees in the upheavals of our day a searching for some essential truth which will be a clarifying factor in this time of chaos and distrust. He does not see in them the final solution of any of the difficulties which hatched them out into a too ready world.
Nor is this book reactionary. The author be lieves that the day of Diaz is long past in Mexico, that the day of the dreamer of utopian visions Madero - is past in Mexico. He seeks in the pres ent and in the future the sane, firm grasp of actual ities which to the watcher on the tower is the only hope of true progress. He sees in the orgies of Carranza and his immediate successors not the upsurgence of mighty ideals, but of personal am bitions and crass disregard of the bases of all human progress He seeks, in the whirling chaos of the present, a firm footing. He seeks to give the direction of such understanding as he may have to those who think with him. He believes that if he gives such a direction to them, it will enable them to go forward to the winning of some of the vast profits which await them in the Mexi can market.
