The Minister in Costa Rica ( Scotten ) to the Secretary of State
[Received May 18.]
Sir: With reference to this Legation’s telegram No. 200 of April 21, 5 p.m., reporting that President Calderón Guardia had informed me that his Government was ready to make an agreement for the sale and exportation to the United States of all of the rubber produced in Costa Rica, I have the honor to state that the Government has now issued a decree permitting the exploitation of rubber and other forest and vegetable products on the public lands of Costa Rica. The methods of obtaining concessions or licenses for exploiting such rubber and other products are set forth in detail. A copy of the official gazette containing this decree and a translation thereof are transmitted herewith.7
Respectfully yours,
