Mexico Urged 10 Demand
kazi Minister'S S Recall
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 2.-Sugges-
tions that Mexico demand recall of
the German Minister and oust Nazi
consuls rose today as political lead
ers and newspapers indorsed the
governments firm rejection of a
German note urging 1t TO protest
against the Washington blacklist of
pro-Axis Mexican firms.
Senator Alfonso Flores, president
of the Senate's Foreign Relations
Committee, said German Minister
Rudt Won CoIlenberg should be de-
clared persona non grata" imme-
diately for his "discourteous and
insolent" note.
An informed government source
declared closing of German con-
sulates was being seriously consid-
cred and termed the note "a de-
liberate provocation of a warning
nation" to endanger relations be-
tween Mexico and the United
States.
The newspaper Excelsior said the
note was cleverly timed to 'in1ame
our peoples pride into resentment
against the United States, but failed
in this object because of Foreign
Minister Ezequiel Padilla's "acute
and intelligent" reply.
The conservative El Universal and
the pro-British Novedades also de-
nounced the German note.
