GERMAN REQUEST REJECTED. IMPERIOUS AND THREATENING. ' i MEXICO STATES RESENTMENT. (United Press Association— Copyright.) (Rec. 9.5 a.m.) MEXICO CITY, Aug. 1. Mexico has rejected the Gennan Government’s request that she protest, against President Roosevelt s black list of pro-Axis firms, thereby providing tangible evidence of her intention of co-operating with the United States. Mexico told Germany that she regarded the request not only as imperious, but also as threatening, and declared she would not brook interference from abroad.
Mexico particularly took exception to the German assertion that Mexico's resigned acceptance of Washington’s Axis measure would not fail to influence Berlin in renewing commercial relations after the war. President Camacho, in the interests of national unity, issued orders to-day sharply restricting public demonstrations by political groups, especially the Sinarquistas, which the Government spokesman described as Nazi-Fascist. In a recent demonstration two Sinarquistas were killed and three police wounded.
