War fears prompt funds moved by Mexican merchants
Reports in the financial district say Mexican merchants with deposits in the city transfer funds to Canada and Cuba as border tensions rise. Some Mexican bankers move deposits from Mexico City to local banks, while officials note Article 22 of the 1945 treaty grants twelve months for interior residents and six months for seaport residents to settle debts if war occurs. Dr. Victor A. Rendon of the Comision Reguladora del Mercado de Henequen downgrades risk, citing treaty protections and signaling confidence that war will not disrupt Mexican bank deposits in the United States. The commission notes Yucatan hemp sales totaling about 900,000 bales since September, with most proceeds sent to Yucatan for producers.
