97. Department’s 62, December 20, 6 p.m. García returned yesterday afternoon and at his request have discussed modus vivendi with him this afternoon. He stated that he will tomorrow submit amended form of fourth sentence my telegram 80 to clarify nature of measures Chile might utilize in event of severe exchange scarcity. He has been deferring exchange of ratifications of the Franco-Chilean treaty so long that he can hardly protract modus vivendi negotiations very much further.
