The Secretary of State to the Minister in Ecuador ( Long )

31. Your telegram no. 67, June 14, 9 a.m. The Department is unable to share the views expressed by Dr. Banda. On the contrary it feels that the present moment is a particularly propitious one for the discussion of the main points raised in the instruction of June 6th since in this way the authorities formulating the regulations would be apprised of the views of this Government and if they so desired could take them into account with a view to avoiding regulations which would make it more difficult for the two governments to reach an agreement on the basis for trade agreement negotiations. Accordingly you are requested to discuss the matter again in the light of the foregoing.
