Watchful President Cardenas sent his stanch supporter, General Jesus Gutierrez Casares, down to Chiapas to find out.

S., President Roosevelt, Great Britain and the Monroe Doctrine without losing...
...removing Lombardo, President Cárdenas implemented General Avila Camacho's promise to rid Mexican politics of Communist domination. Avila Camacho had already matched General Almazán's other claims to conservatism by guaranteeing security to both Mexican and foreign investors, announcing himself a good Catholic.
