Former Consul Describes Mexican Troubles Before Senate
W. W. Canada, former U S consul at Vera Cruz for 20 years, testified to the Senate Mexican investigation committee that Luis Cabrera in 1914 said Carranza’s revolution aimed to drive Americans from Mexico and seize their property. He said Cabrera’s view guided Carranza’s policy, noting Americans faced oppression and that foreign protests were ignored. Canada resigned in 1918, warning Carranza would trap him, and urged armed intervention as the only likely remedy.
