Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Plutarco Elías Calles, the 40th President of Mexico, was known for supporting economically and politically liberal movements in South America branded as Communist movements by the U.S. These articles talk about him sending money to New York, clergymen, and U.S. senators to support his causes. Some of the titles of the articles in the photo are as follows: "Mexico Used $2,400,500 Fund in N.Y.", "Calles Ordered $210,000 Paid Clergymen, Documents Show", "Calles Planned $1,200,00 Slush Fund, Documents Reveal" and "Documents Show Mexico Ordered $1,215,000 for Senators".
