The Chargé in Chile (Frost) to the Secretary of State

Santiago, March 24, 1938—4 p.m.
[Received 5:12 p.m.]

36. Gazitúa confidentially informed me yesterday standard provisions for trade agreement 1 to 6 and 16 to 21 are acceptable to Foreign Office while 9 and 12 to 14 are probably so. The statement as to 16 is particularly encouraging. On the other provisions the Foreign Office suggestions outlined by him seem susceptible of fairly easy negotiations. Await my air despatch No. 930 of today’s date.³⁶

Chilean Treaty Commission is expected to pass favorably on exchange clause on March 25.

Am leaving tonight to return with Ambassador April 6.

Frost
