Bogotá, July 16,

[Received 12:45 p.m.]
57. Stabler left Bogotá yesterday because of the President’s failure to grant the interview requested by the Legation on July 3 (see my No. 54, July 5, 4 p.m.), or to make any reference to my request for such interview, and in view of the complete lack of progress in the negotiations. Stabler had also requested a farewell interview with the Minister of Industry, but the latter similarly made no appointment to see him.
