The Consul General at Buenos Aires (Warren) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 18—12:50 p.m.]
12. From Commercial Attaché for Commerce. Finance Minister has prohibited issuance of exchange permits for remittance of any funds whatever which were blocked prior to May 1, 1933, because such would be contrary to Roca agreement. Not believed, however, that this refers to documentary bills.
Although opposed by the more conservative elements, a meeting of the American importers here called for tomorrow as the result of which it is expected a delegation will call on Ambassador insisting that some action be taken by the Embassy to secure more exchange for American interests.28 Dye.
