The Ambassador in Brazil (Gibson) to the Acting Secretary of State

129. My 126, December 21, 7 p.m. In connection with Figueiredo’s statement that he has no foreign exchange it may be of interest that according to figures furnished me by our Consuls, consular invoices of shipments to the United States during first 22 days of December aggregate over six and three-quarters million dollars.
