The Guban Ambassador, Beñor Guillermo Belt, oalled
on me today to say good-bye. After the usual exchange
or pleasantries, the Ambassador said that although his
Government had offered him the post of Chief of Mission
at London, he hnd decided to resign from the diplomatic
service and to return to his law practice in Habana.
He said that he had reached this decision because he
had to consider the education of his children and also
because for political reasons he considered it desirable
to be in Habana. I remarked that there are certain
advantages to alternating public service and private
practice.
The Ambassador stated that he had thoroughly
enjoyed his stay in the United States and that his
association with ne had been a great honor and privilege
for him. In thanking the Ambassador for his kind
remarks, I commented on my pleasant association with him
and wished him success on his return to private life.
