...British oil properties is approved in the White House as a justified crackdown upon Capitalist gringos. Britons do not take so easy a view of the matter, and suddenly last week the British Government sent a third note of stern protest. London papers called Mexican President General Lazaro Cardenas a "bandit." After hours of rapidly worsening relations, the envoy of Mexico in London and the envoy of Britain in Mexico City were withdrawn by their respective Governments, together with their whole staffs, except for a diplomatic caretaker who was left behind in each case...
...Ambassador to Mexico Owen St. Clair O'Malley was sent packing with two calculated slaps-in-the-face from the Government of President Cárdenas: 1) He was reminded by the Mexican Foreign Office that the United Kingdom has welshed on her War Debt. Wrote Foreign Minister General Eduardo Hay: "The government of Your Excellency lacks all right to analyze the domestic situation of Mexico. . . .

Grousing of another sort at Generalissimo Franco was whispered last week by functionaries of the French Foreign Office in Paris. Favored journalists were tipped that under arrest in Saragossa, for having made a speech in which he attacked the Rightist Air Force for too vigorous bombing, was famed General Juan Yague, who led the recent Rightist drive which captured Lerida (TIME, April 11). Information that General Yague is out of circulation came from French secret service agents in Rightist territory, made a rattling good story on the Quai d'Orsay. Hot-tempered, hot-tongued General Yague was reported...
Although freedom of the press ceased to exist in Rightist & Leftist territory as soon as the civil war began, a reputed additional charge by General Yague that much Rightist propaganda has been "stupid" was more than proved later last week. The best propaganda is always subtle, apparently uncontrolled, as in England. With the stupidity of a Hitler, a Stalin or a Mussolini, President Franco by decree subordinated all Rightist Spanish news-organs to his Government last week. Under Article 17 of the new law the Government "shall have the power to punish administratively any conduct which directly or indirectly tends...
