The Minister of Finance, Montes de Oca, has requested that Mr. Morrow be informed that political events of the past week have rendered it desirable to leave debt negotiations and plans for railroad reorganization in statu quo until the situation becomes somewhat clarified, which might be within a few days or a few weeks. The Minister of Finance does not know, as yet, just what effect General Calles’ change in political plans may have on his position in regard to railroad reorganization.
