The Ambassador in Cuba (Norweb) to the Secretary of State
The Ambassador has the honor to refer to the Embassy’s telegram No. 440 of May 9, 1948,1 and to transmit, for the Department’s records, copy and translation of the agreement signed on May 8, 1948,1 between representatives of the Tanamo Sugar Company and of the cane growers, on the basis of which the Cuban Government is committed to immediate withdrawal of its occupation and intervention in Central Tanamo.
It is expected that the Minister of Agriculture will today issue a resolution withdrawing the intervention, and that the Cabinet will this week repeal the Decree of intervention.2
Mr. Philip Rosenberg, President of the Tanamo Sugar Company, and Dr. Arturo Mañas, the Company’s counsel, have advised the Embassy that they are highly pleased with the terms of the agreement and have expressed their warm appreciation of the Department’s and [Page 557] Embassy’s efforts on behalf of the Company which they feel were responsible in large measure for the satisfactory solution which has been reached.
