Sr. Licenciado Prime Villa Michel, acquainted the Foreign Office today of his country's decision to sever: relations with Great Britain.
The British Note to Mexico on May 11, to which the rupture was a sequel, reiterated the request for an annual payment of the sum of £18,000, due on January 1. The Note referred to the different financial obligations incurred as the result of the Mexican Government's policy of expropriation. It added that Mexico, thereby, on her own admission had incurred extremely heavy additional financial liabilities, over and above those she had already failed to discharge.
