Free Men of America

MEXICO’S Foreign Minister is a scholar as well as a diplomat. His book is no mere collection of pleasing generalities about the desirability of Pan-American friendship. Señor Padilla traces the main outlines of the Mexican revolution, points the contrasts between North American and Latin American culture and civilization, and makes practical suggestions for overcoming the political suspicion and economic exploitation that have too often poisoned interAmerican relations. There could scarcely be a more effective spokesman for the forces south of the Rio Grande that are friendly to the United States and progressive in their attitude toward world problems.
