The Acting Secretary of State to the Chargé in Haiti ( Belden )
28. Before Féquière left for Haiti certain changes in the charter of the National Banque were suggested at a conference held in the [Page 819] Department at which were present Féquière and a representative of the National City Bank of New York. The Department was satisfied that these changes would be greatly to the advantage of the Haitian Government and the Haitian Minister here cabled the changes to his Government.
As no reply has been received, I suggest that you call upon the President and urge upon him the immediate and formal approval by himself and his Council of Ministers of the suggested changes as cabled by Minister Moravia.
In view of fact that best interests of Haiti clearly subserved in revision of charter, endeavor to secure approval without further delay.
