SUBJECT: Visit to Brazil of Secretary of the Treasury,
John W. Snyder.
The Honorable
The Secretary of State,
Washington, D. C.
Sir:
I have the honor to report that, at the invitation of
President Dutra, the Honorable John W. Snyder, Secretary
of the Treasury of the United States, made an official
visit to Brazil from July 22 to July 29.
Secretary Snyder, who was accompanied by the Brazil-
ian Ambassador to the United States, Carlos Martins,
Major General Harry H. Vaughan, myself, and a party of
eight, arrived in Rio de Janeiro on the presidential air-
craft "Independence" at 6:00 p.m., July 22. His trip to
Brazil had been widely publicized in the Rio press, and
he was greeted at the airport by the Foreign Minister,
Dr. Raul Fernandes, the Minister of Finance, Dr. Pedro
Luiz Corrêa e Castro, a representative of the President,
other Cabinet officers, and Brazilian and American busi-
nessmen.
No official program had been arranged for the Secre-
tary and apparently the Brazilian Minister of Finance had
hoped that the Secretary would spend several days at his
"fazenda" in São Paulo, hunting and discussing the finan-
cial problems of this country. With such a limited amount
of time at his disposal, it was necessary for the Secretary
to alter this plan in order to become acquainted with
various Brazilian activities.
The Secretary's press conference, held at the Embassy
the morning of July 23, was highly successful and received
wide and favorable coverage by Rio newspapers. Throughout
his stay in Brazil, Secretary Snyder, both in press confer-
ences and public addresses, as well as in private conversa-
tions, proved himself adept at avoiding committing statements
in a tactful and ingratiating manner. It is natural that his
