No Charges Against
Archbishop

MEXICO CITY, Aug. l4.-tP)-No
formal charges are to be made
against the Most Rev. Mora Del Rio,
archbishop Of Mexico, because of ut
terances made in a recent interview
with an American newspaper CORES
pondent in which he strongly upheld
the standpoint of the Catholic church
in its dispute with the Mexican gov
ernment over the religious regula-
tions.
After conference between Attor-
ney General 0rtega and President
Gales, it was officially announced
that the president had decided not
to "consign," or make formal charges
against the prelate.
Otherwise the religious situation
today remained as for days past
deadlocked.
Although most business houses
through the nation are feeling in
varying degrees the effects of the
economic boycott. by which Catholics
are expressing opposition to the gov
ernment's religious regulations, Uni
ted States commercial attache George
Wythe. after careful survey of the
situation says the two most impor-
tant industries of Mexico-oil and
mining thus far are not affected
and are continuing operations in
their usual scale.
Virtually every merchant in Mexico
City at present is experiencing some
decrease in trade. Smaller crowds
are attending all theatres and other
amusement places. The silver ex-
change had further decline yes
terday, reaching a discount of $50
percent. Bankers continue TO assert
that the boycott is not directly re-
sponsible for this.
Reports indicate that Guadalajara,
one of the strongest Catholic cities
in Mexico, is suffering more from
the boycott than perhaps any other
place in the republic. General busI-
ness there is declared to have
slumped anywhere from so to 80 per
cent
