The Ambassador in Argentina (Weddell) to the Secretary of State

207. My No. 203, October 27, 3 p.m.14 The Minister for Foreign Affairs today in confirming his previous statement that Dr. Espil is [Page 222] authorized to enter into confidential and informal discussions at any time in connection with a trade agreement, said instructions in this sense had gone forward immediately following my communication to him of October 24.

My telegram No. 194, October 14, 5 p.m. The Minister has apparently abandoned or forgotten his idea of a local commission to study the subject and said that he would be glad if I would continue to discuss exchange matters with the Minister of Finance. I shall accordingly continue to urge on this Minister our desire that exchange discrimination be abolished.

Weddell
