Mexican situation and Catholic clergy campaign noted
Mexico City reports an embargo is unlikely to shift the current stance while officials say regulations suffice. Strikingly, Foreign Minister Estrada cites a worldwide Catholic clergy propaganda drive against the Mexican government with U S and Latin American press as centers. He points to a Knights of Columbus Philadelphia convention resolution condemning Mexico’s religious policy and urging State Department intervention. Estrada says the government monitors foreign media and has received many sympathetic messages.
