SPECIAL CONGRESS
Mexico City, Mar. 20.
A permanent committee of Con- gress planned to meet to-night to special arrange the summoning of session to deal with the oil crisis.
Banks all over Mexleo have sus- pended foreign exchange operations. The nation is threatened with n financial emergency due to disloca- tions expected as a result of the ex- propriations.
Suspension of exchange is intend- ed to halt the decline of the peso, which is expected to be allowed to seck its own level. It is not believed that the value in the world market will be known for at least a week.
Foreign quarters intimated that countries such as Germany, Italy and Japan, requiring oil for war purposes, might give the Mexicans facilities.
In order to check lack of confidence among the public in the paper peso, the Bank of Mexico announced thai it was ready to change ritver pesos for all paper,-United Press.
