Memorandum of Conversation, by the Secretary of State

secret

Subject:

  • Mexicans Air Negotiations

I expressed my doubts to the President as to the wisdom of this Administration, in its closing weeks, attempting to reach an air agreement with the Mexican Administration, also in its final weeks. The President agreed with my concern about this and said that the best thing to do was to drop the matter altogether. I took it that this was his considered decision, and I think we should act upon it as such.

Finally, the President saw no reason why I should not return to New York, holding myself ready to return here on a call from him.
