The Chargé in Uruguay ( Dwyre ) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 19—4:50 p.m.]
87. The substance of the Department’s telegram No. 63, October 17, 6 p.m., has been discussed at length with the Foreign Minister who understands clearly all points raised. I expressed to him my Government’s belief that it would be highly desirable to hold the definitive negotiations in Washington whereupon he requested me to say that the Uruguayan Government would like to have the definitive negotiations conducted as in the case of Argentina. He believes that if the United States Government is sending a trade delegation of experts to Buenos Aires the same delegation might then come to Montevideo to conduct the negotiations here. He further stated that if it should be the case that Argentina is sending a trade delegation to the United States, Uruguay would do the same.
