Memorandum of Conversation, by the Chief of the Division of the American Republics (Duggan)
[Washington,] July 7, 1938.
The Uruguayan Minister telephoned me at one o’clock today to state that he had not yet received any word from his Government with regard to the trade agreement proposal. The Minister stated that he had made it clear beyond doubt that a reply would have to be forthcoming by today, so that he felt confident that he would receive a message sometime during the remainder of the day.
I told the Minister not to hesitate to get in touch with me regardless of the time he received the message.
