34. Department’s telegram No. 20, July 3, 6 p.m. Have just discussed matter of trade agreement with Foreign Minister who stated he would immediately make arrangements for the Consul General and me to confer with the Minister of Hacienda and the Director of Customs.
Foreign Minister expressed optimism as to successful outcome of negotiations along the lines now suggested but added Guatemala would have to have assurance that no duty, if now nonexistent, or quotas would be placed on Guatemala’s exports to the United States.
