811.20 Defense (M) Brazil/335: Telegram

The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Brazil (Caffery)

749. Your 916 of March 17. Proposal of Dr. Truda to permit export of 150 tons of rubber to Argentina would appear to violate terms of notes and rubber purchase agreements, as substance of these is that after date of signature Brazil will permit exportation of rubber only to this country. You are requested to point this out to Dr. Truda and obtain his cooperation in preventing this shipment.
