Abstract
Description
Enclosure: See No. 1768. Mexican Government wishes to collaborate in defense program but for budgetary reasons does not intend to develop considerable air force; in order to get uniform equipment, training, and organization of air force in other American Republics U.S. must supply the material and equipment at little cost; to continue quibbling about price defeats purpose; thinks Mexican Government prepared to receive planes if nominal value placed on them; sending copy of letter from Gen. [Guy V.] Henry; not replying to his letter but asks Carrigan to send him copy of this letter; regarding planes left in Mexico by demonstration unit not being used, Gen. [Gustavo] Salinas [Camina] was called on the carpet by his superiors and was under nervous strain; thinks he is over it now.
