Mexico Recalls Minister in London Breaking Diplomatic Ties
Mexico recalls its London minister and cuts diplomatic relations with Britain over what it calls Britain's unfriendly attitude. Foreign Minister Hay handed a note to British Ambassador O Malley and, with it, a cheque for 1737 pesos correcting an earlier figure, as Mexico asserts its right to delay payment on unadjusted annuities under a 1935 agreement. The move signals serious international tension and a possible Monroe Doctrine reference to deter further pressure.
