explaining that the action is due to
a condition growing out of the war.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Aguilar
in statement tonight said:
"The president and his cabinet have
decided that it is an imperative neces-
sity to recall the Mexican diplomatic
representative to Cuba and to suspend
Indefinitely the sending Of new rep
resentative to Cuba, because they con-
sidered it an indispensable mesaure
for the high ideals and interests of
the two nations in the actual moments
of this acute world crisis. The state
of war in which Cuba is involved has
obliged Cuba to dictate measures
which in many cases affect the inter-
est Of the Mexican government and
her citizens, and representations Mex
leo might be forced to make would be
useless and would restrict liberty of
action of friendly nation in an af~
flicteA situation"
Thes statement said that after the
crisis had passed "Mexico and Cuua
would be in better condition to renew
diplomatic relations upon basis Of
justice and equality only and in con-
.,formity with the great aspiration OF
the Mexican government in her new
international relations"

The underlying cause of MeXicos

SCHOOL DISTRICTS MAY BUY
w. s. s., HUBBARD DECIDES

That the investment of school dis
trict funds in war savings stamps may
be done with no infringement of any
statute is the opinion expressed by At
torney General Leslie E. Hubbard in a
letter to the Colorado war savings com
mittee, in which he says:
"There is no statute in this state
which authorizes the loaning of the
funds of school district. However, in
view of the fact that war savings
stamps are always redeemable upon ten
days notice at their full value at the
time of redemption, I am of the opin'
ion that an investment in such stamps
would not be considered loan of the
funds, but rather as a deposit of such
funds with the United States govern
ment.
"There could, of course, be no ques
tion as to the security of the invest
ment and | am confident that no court
would hold that the investment of sucf
funds in war savings stamps would bt
in violation of our state laws.'
