Vision for Mexico's Progress and Industry Growth
By the year of 1935 (75 years ago) the
stationary shop “La Paz,” in Tapachula,
Chiapas (near the Mexico-Guatemala
border), printed and sold scholar notebooks
which included a math table, among with
some ideas to improve Mexico.
The fulfillment of Duties turns the world into
Paradise, and the insistence of Rights, into
Hell. Liberty is the daughter of Sacrifice.
Our mother country is in need of a man that:
1.
Knows
what a Mexican should be
2.
Envisions
how to save our mother country
3.
Understands
Mexico thoroughly and what it lacks of
4.
Loves
“Peace”, discerning the meaning of what is
courage and what is recklessness
5.
Deserves
God’s “Trust”
6.
Has
“Acknowledgement” of one’s own consciousness
7.
Maintains
“Honesty” at life threatening situations
8.
Follows
One’s “Consciousness” as one follows God
We will learn from the wise people from China,
Germany, United States of America and England
to gain a place in the front row of civilization,
industry and humanity.
FELLOW CITIZENS
:
There is a wide way towards ruin, and another narrow one towards life. Which one do
we prefer?
Our land, under-developed or badly handled, is like a desert. But, with 50 years of
hard work, this desert could turn into a gold mine; as we’ve seen in numerous
examples from progressive nations. We respectfully advise capitalists and workers to
gather and mass-produce in order to reduce cost. If costs get too high we will be forced
to import our goods from foreign countries, and if the honorable merchants decide not
to bring us their merchandise we could starve to death. And please be aware that our
fields cannot be productive as long as there is no “Peace“.
Grow: cedar wood, mahogany, cascalote tree (caesalpinia cacalaco), cocoa, coconut,
coffee beans, breadfruit (artocarpus artily), banana, higuerilla wood (micandra
spruceana), vanilla, sarsaparrilla (smilax aspera), cotton, alfalfa, corn, rice, wheat,
potatoes, onions and bitter yucca.
Raise: hens, cattle and pigs using modern methods.
Honorable co-citizen congressmen: This country asks you to cut any law that could set
obstacles to the industries and establish laws that support industries. It is your duty
and is vital and fundamental.
Let’s be patriotic and not selfish.

It draws attention the fact that these ideas
reflect the vision that the best way to improve
Japan’s image, is not by showing off about Japan,
but by working for the progress of Mexico, the
country that took him in.
Benito Eitaro Meguro, from Niigata,
Japan, after graduating in Hitotsubashi
University, travelled around the world
and while being in the USA found out
about the Enomoto Migration, which
motivated him into traveling and living
in Chiapas.
Stationary shop La Paz in 1935 sold scholar notebooks with ideas to improve Mexico, emphasizing the importance of industry, agriculture, and peace. The call to action urges lawmakers to support industrial development and productivity.
