The anti-Semitic “Golden Shirts” and similar Mexican Fascist organizations were under a virtual ban today as the result of an order by President Lazaro Cardenas to the heads of all Government departments to use every legal means within their power to curb their “destructive activities.”
Declaring there was no reason for the existence in Mexico of such nationalist organizations as the “Golden Shirts,” President Cardenas said that the chief aim of these groups was to split the ranks of the workers.
Meanwhile it was learned form a semi-official source that the Government’s immigration bill, which is soon to be enacted, provides for the admission into the country of a number of specialists in industry and agriculture. It was also learned that the bill provides for exclusion of persons with small means on the grounds that they might compete with traders already established and thus prove harmful to the country’s economy.
