The Minister in Uruguay (Wright) to the Secretary of State
[Received 8:25 p.m.]
27. Your 22, April 6, 3 p.m. I consider that it would be unwise and inopportune to make representations regarding discrimination in allocation of exchange before elections to take place on April 19th., regarding which situation please also see my political reports. Commerce Committee of American association in meeting yesterday concurs in this opinion.
In despatch by air mail on 13th instant, I shall report concerning increase in our imports from Uruguay which (together with possibilities afforded by bilateral commercial treaty, if the bill to that end is passed by the Senate) will enable us to approach an Uruguayan [Page 648] Government no longer trammeled by immediate political considerations upon a more clearly defined issue and with stronger arguments.
