MEXICO CITY, Jan. 14.-General
Huerta's decree, suspending paym ent
OF interest on Mexico's national debt
today was construed as an attempt
to bring the wrath OF Europe upon
the head of the United States. The
passing OF the psriodic interest on
the bonded debt of the nation will
affect French and Englizh financiers.
Huerta is said to reason that the fin
ancial difficulties of Mexico may be
traced to non-recognition by the Unit
ed States.
II the European countries. there
fore, can be hit in their pocket books,
they naturally will blame America,
Huerta believes.
Bankers In the capital today said
they believed Mexican money would
within the week decline to ratio OF
four to one with American money.
With little exception, Mexican money
is not fiat currency. The next logi-
cal move to be expected from the de-
cadent Huerta regime is the issue OF
government paper, not backed by
coin.
