The Minister in Guatemala (Geissler) to the Secretary of State
[Received 11:40 p.m.]
109. August 26th I informed the Pickwick Airways of the Department’s attitude expressed August 24, 2 p.m. Today its representative filed a protest asserting that no exception should be made against it since it is an American corporation; that the Mexican company would “receive a heavy subsidy” from the United States Post Office Department; that the death of his company would be unavoidable; and that he requests transmission to the State Department of his “formal protest for the unwarranted assistance rendered by the American Legation at their request to a Mexican company against a purely and thoroughly American corporation.”
