The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Nicaragua (Dawson)

No. 127

Sir: Reference is made to the Legation’s despatch No. 353, dated July 23, 1934,31 concerning the desire of Nicaraguan officials for a copy of the reciprocal trade agreement recently negotiated between the United States and Colombia, and requesting information as to the Department’s policy in this connection.

In reply you are informed that the text of the reciprocal trade agreement between the United States and Colombia is still considered confidential and that it would therefore be contrary to the Department’s policy to furnish advance copies of the text to any third government prior to the removal of the injunction of secrecy.

Very truly yours,

For the Secretary of State:
Sumner Welles
