Swarthy servants shined up gleaming swords one night last week in Mexico City, next morning laid out the heavily gold-braided uniforms of army commanders of Mexico's military districts. These satraps had been summoned by General Lazaro Cardenas, expropriating President of Mexico, to back him visibly with their presence when he opened the Mexican Congress last week. As is their jealously guarded privilege, the Congressmen each wore a pistol. General Cardenas was in mufti, for he is the "New Deal" hero of underprivileged Mexicans. All Mexico was tense with anticipation, for New Dealer Cardenas had announced that...
...Although Lazaro Cardenas is a poor, mumbling speaker without Latin fire or grace, the General brought Mexico's pistol-toting Congressmen to their feet shouting "Viva!" again & again last week. They saw at once that with almost every word President Cardenas was baiting Secretary Hull. Mr. Hull had laid down in diplomatic terms that it is a violation of international law for Mexico to expropriate without immediate compensation. General Cardenas laid down in non-diplomatic terms that what Mexico has done is "for the greatest good of the greatest number of people," and said that in international law there...
Franklin Roosevelt and Lazaro Cardenas are "two great statesmen who have appeared to extend a hand to labor," keynoted John L.

...Secretary of State Hull's stiff note in July, demanding payment by Mexico for $10,132,388 worth of farms and ranches expropriated from U. S. owners, or at least arbitration of the claims (TIME, Aug. 1), the Mexican people paid little attention. The Government of bold President Lazaro Cardenas, feeling sure that Mr. Hull did not mean business, said in its reply: 1) that the matter was not subject to international arbitration since Mexico's own laws require eventual payment; 2) that to arbitrate U. S. claims would be unfair to Mexican claimants, who have not been...
...artificial language they hoped to spread was invented by a patient Polish physician, Lazaro Ludovico Zamenhof, who published his work in 1887. His language looks like a Balkan patter, sounds like a Romance patois. Though it runs on rules like rails, it lends itself to precise shades of meaning. In 1921, as a test, the Paris Chamber of Commerce had two Esperantists translate delicate texts of French into Esperanto, then had two others turn them back into French; the final texts were almost identical with the originals. The language has only 16 simple rules of grammar, to which there...
