Mexican Interest Payments

Bankers here are still awaiting Off
clal notification from Mexico CITY of
the intention of the Mexican govern
ment to resume payment on interest on
It's external debt on July /. So far the
news that has come through from Mex-
leo on this matter has been entirely
unofficial as far as Wall Street is con-
ccerned. Financial men in position to
know something about Mexico's posi-
ton assert that the Mexican govern
ment has practically no balances avail
able here from which to make interest
payments, SO that il it is planned to re-
sumo the debt service gold would likely
have to be shipped for that purpose.
