The Chargé in Guatemala (O’Donoghue) to the Secretary of State

36. Consul General and I have just talked with Minister of Hacienda who stated he is favorable to conclusion of trade agreement and that he would order an immediate study to determine what tariff concessions might be granted. He also expressed optimism as to early conclusion of agreement.

Owing to Barrios holidays this week, no further conversations will be possible before next Tuesday.
