While the Sephardic Jews in Mexico are proclaiming another Fast Day for Monday, the day of the big mass demonstration arranged by the Union of Mexican Small Traders to celebrate the expulsion of the Jewish traders from the market-places, fearing that fresh anti-Jewish disturbances may result, the Government attitude to the Jews is apparently undergoing a change for the better. The President of the Republic, Senor Rubio, is supporting a plan, the J.T.A. representative learns, to establish a co-operative bazaar store for the Jewish traders who have been expelled from the market places. The Polish Charge d’Affaires here, M. Merdinger, informs the J.T.A. representative that the leading papers have now stopped their antisemitic campaign on the request of the Government, following the protest which he lodged on behalf of the Polish Government.
M. Merdinger added that he has been considering the advisability of making a diplomatic protest against Monday’s demonstration, but has refrained from doing so because the demonstration is announced as generally anti-foreign, and the other diplomats have shown themselves very cool towards his suggestion of a united action.
