811.20 Defense (M)/5822: Telegram
The Chargé in Costa Rica ( Reed ) to the Secretary of State
[Received 8:20 p.m.]
159. The Minister of Agriculture Volio has just discussed with me informally the contents of the Department’s telegram No. 100 [116] of March 19, 5 p.m., regarding the desire of Rubber Reserve Co. to make an agreement to acquire the rubber production of Costa Rica. He stated after consultation with the President2 that his Government is willing to make such an agreement but that the price quotation c. and f. United States continental port was causing hesitation and that the Costa Rican Government because of transportation difficulties would prefer a price f.o.b. Costa Rican port.
