An open letter to Emilio Portes Gil, Provisional President of Mexico, is published in the current issue of “The Jewish Tribune,” which points out the appearance of anti-Jewish articles in “El Universal,” one of the largest Mexican newspapers. The letter is issued by David N. Mosessohn, editor, and addresses a plea to the Mexican President to act in regard to these newspaper articles which, it asserts, are capable of creating a menace to the increasing number of Jews in Mexico.

The author of the anti-Semitic articles attributes their source to the anti-Semitic documents formerly circulated by Henry Ford and later repudiated by him in his apology to the Jews dated June 30, 1927.
