...evidence of General Calles' fresh intent to press his program strongly, the Bank of Montreal (which once exercised almost a monopoly in large scale Mexican credit and exchange operations) was reported by Mexico City's authoritative El Universal last week about to follow the example of the Anglo South American Bank which recently closed its branches in Mexico...

A venerable body, long considered high church, the Union has been headed by 94-year-old Charles Lindley Wood, 2nd Viscount Halifax, a stout Anglo-Catholic who from 1863 to 1877 was Groom of the Bedchamber to the Prince of Wales. Last week Viscount Halifax resigned his post largely because in its official publication the Church Union had made what he called a "vicious attack" on the Anglo-Catholic Congress...
