The Ambassador in Argentina (Weddell) to the Secretary of State

210. My 207, November 2, 6 p.m., last paragraph. In the hope of expediting action I propose suggesting to the Minister of Finance in the interview which I hope to have with him very shortly that he delegate one or more persons from his Ministry to discuss with representatives of the Embassy the general question of exchange discrimination.

Such a procedure would appear to be helpful particularly in view of the Minister of Finance’s tendency towards excessive delay and procrastination.
