Mexico Rejects German Protest Over Roosevelt List
MEXICO CITY Aug 1. Mexico rebukes a German demand to protest President Roosevelt’s blacklist of pro axis firms. Foreign Minister Padilla says the German note threatens and ignores reciprocal respect. Mexico affirms cooperation with the United States on mutual wartime problems and rejects foreign interference in its policies. The exchange follows an earlier Mexican rejection of expropriated German ships. The note from Nazi minister von Collenberg accuses the blacklist of violating commerce and Mexican sovereignty. Padilla replies that Mexico’s stance upholds sovereignty and will not bow to German pressure.
