Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Coming Mexico The title of this book will probably suggest to the reader that I intend to venture into the dangerous domain of prophecy, and presume to give my opinion as to what may be the political future of Mexico. Such, however, is not my intention; for had there been any temptation to do so, the experience of others who have yielded would effectually deter me. One author, who wrote less than ten years ago, expressed the conviction that no prolonged revolution was likely to occur; but even if it did, the good that President Diaz had accomplished could not thereby be undone. Because Mexico had enjoyed peace for a generation under the dictatorship, practically, of that strong man, it was assumed the other leaders had lost the tendency to seize the power when an opportunity seemed to be given; and the masses had become so convinced that in tranquillity alone lay their true course, as to make it impossible for ambitious leaders, quarrelling amongst themselves, to draw about them the armed forces required to carry out their schemes. In fact, there was no probability of occasion arising to give excuse for civil strife. Should the people depart from the path of peace which Diaz had blazed so clearly for them, it was contended that the United States would intervene and possibly annex Mexico; for the large interests of American and European investors, as well as the safety of foreign residents generally, would make it necessary to do something of the sort.
