Description

The Mexican president Plutarco Calles walks arm in arm with President Calvin Coolidge on the White House Lawn. Behind them walk, from left to right: an unnamed man, William Howard Taft, Andrew Mellon, and Mexican ambassador Manuel C. Tellez. Original caption: "What A Whale Of A Difference A Few Months Make. President Coolidge, right, walking arm in arm on the White House lawn with his erstwhile 'buddy', Plutarco Calles, president of Mexico. Now the friendship that blossomed on the Calles visit to Washington is blighted, and Coolidge's administration is blaming the Mexican for the Nicaraguan 'mess', and for sundry direct difficulties with the Mexican government. In the background on the left are Chief Justice William Howard Taft and Secretary of the Treasury Andrew Mellon, while on the right is Manuel C. Tellez, Mexican ambassador."
