The Chargé in Guatemala (Hawks) to the Secretary of State
[Received 10:15 p.m.]
148. Mr. Morrison, traffic manager of the Mexican Aviation Company, has informed me that he desires to obtain from the Government of Guatemala in the name of the Pan American Airways, Incorporated, [Page 606] and its subsidiary or affiliated companies a contract for an air service carrying mail, express, and passengers in and out of Guatemala over any route. He also desires to enter into a mail contract for the same company over all routes, but states that with the possible exception of the route between the city of Guatemala and Tapachula, Mexico, which is now operated by the Mexican Aviation Company, all of the service will be in the name of the Pan American Airways, Incorporated. He requests that I interview the Minister of Fomento and the President in support of these projects. Please instruct by cable whether I may do so.
