File No. 837.51/252

The Minister in Cuba ( Gonzales) to the Secretary of State

[Telegram]

My telegram of July 24, noon. Congress accepted veto and House passed new measure satisfactory to President except that tax on iron and copper too high. He hopes to get Senate pass same bill before adjournment that is imminent, and will suspend part of iron and copper tax expecting reduction by Congress next winter.
