| Description | Enclosure: See No. 1369. Talked with [Fulgencio] Batista [y Zaldivar] May 30; he reported doing all he could to get more reasonable provision on moratorium in constitution; doubts he is actually doing anything; President [Laredo Bru] agrees that provision is bad, but thinks situation hopeless; many in Assembly acting from personal interest, with disregard for Cuba's credit standing; asked [Willard Leon] Beaulac to prepare memorandum herewith enclosed; agrees with Beaulac's conclusions and recommendations except on one point; U.S. would be justified in denouncing trade agreement because of moratorium provision and it would be effective "big stick", but doubts wisdom of such drastic action at this time. | en_US |
