Sir: Adverting to the Department’s telegram No. 24 of September 10, 1928, regarding the Pan American Airways, Incorporated, I have the honor to report that representatives of this company, Messrs. Nagle and MacGregor, were here recently for a few days in the interests of this company. They were introduced by the Legation to President Vasquez and the Minister of Finance to whom they outlined the company’s plans with respects to the establishment of a commercial air service between Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Porto Rico. The President and Minister de Moya stated that the establishment of the proposed service would be cordially welcomed by the Dominican Government which would gladly accord every possible facility and assistance.

The Legation was happy to accord to these gentlemen during their stay here every possible and proper assistance.

I have [etc.]
