"esent itself to Bfltflblifih diplomatic relations with Canada.

Asked whether Mexico woud es- tablish such relations the foreign minister said:-

“The Mexican Government. l! l policy oi strengthening relations with all nations of the continent. is strengthening its diplomatic re- lations ip each one of the nations o Amer ca.

"consequently. thl! WWW would consider with approval and pleasure any opportunity for es- tablishment oi direct relations with a country of such known culture as Canada."

He said there had been no dis- cussion of resum tion of relations with Russia, an that there had been no developments since last week when he said the matter of resumption of relations with Great Britain and Spain would be stud- ied ai; an opportune moment. Re- lations with Britain were broken following expropriation by Mexico of British oil properties.
