The Minister in Uruguay (Wilson) to the Secretary of State
[Received 6:35 p.m.]
118. Reference my 113, June 17, Guani spoke to me yesterday at considerable length on this subject, stating that it was essential that the question of economic assistance for Uruguay be considered without delay. Several business leaders have spoken to me in the same sense during the past few days.
Uruguay has not yet felt the pinch of closed European markets but will feel it before long.
German commercial agents here are offering deliveries of goods for next October. The Uruguayans feel that while this may be propaganda, it is also a threat that unless Uruguay falls in line, Germany will close the markets of Europe to her.
