The Minister in Haiti (Armour) to the Acting Secretary of State

Port-au-Prince, July 12, 1933—5 p.m.
[Received 8:33 p.m.]

71. I am to have today a statement from the President setting forth the powers which he proposes to ask the people to grant him with a view to solving the present internal political impasse. Furthermore, I expect to have by Friday a text of an accord covering financial control which the Haitian Government is willing to sign. If the Department perceives no objection, I am to fly up to Washington leaving here July 15 and reporting to Department morning 17th, Haiti by plane 23rd. Please instruct.61
