The Minister in Guatemala ( Hanna ) to the Secretary of State

28. Department’s telegram No. 18, June 3, 3 p.m. I have discussed the matter fully with President Ubico and the Minister for Foreign Affairs. They were noncommittal concerning details but expressed sympathy with the broad purposes of the trade agreement program and this Government’s desire to cooperate in a further effort to reconcile divergent points of view. I have an engagement to see the Minister of Hacienda and the Chief of Customs tomorrow and I will cable their attitude.

I will report by air mail before my departure.

Hanna
