    "ocrText": "DEPARTMENT OF STATE\nWASHINGTON\nJuly 28, 1948\nMEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT\nSubject: Biographic Information of Dr. Alberto F. Zubiria,\nMinister of Interior of the Republic of Uruguay.\nTo visit the President at 12 noon, July 28.\nAs Minister of the Interior, Dr. Zubiria is the ranking\nUruguayan cabinet minister. Furthermore, he is a close personal\nfriend of the Uruguayan President (Battle - pronounced Bahjay)\nwho has stated that he would personally appreciate Dr. Zubiria\nbeing received by Secretary Marshall. His cabinet duties are\nconcerned with the internal administration of the political\ndivisions of the nation, and with the police.\nDr. Zubiria has just returned from San Francisco where he\nwas head of the Uruguayan delegation to the conference of the\nInternational Labor Organization. It is believed that his visit\nto the President and the Secretary is probably of a protocol\nnature. However, he may wish to discuss Uruguayan relations with\nArgentina; and perhaps the Uruguayan attitude toward Communism,\npresently one of watchful waiting.\nDr. Zubiria is an attorney who has been in public office\nsince 1927, with the exception of the period 1933 to 1942, a\nbrief portion of which time he spent in exile. He is strongly\nnti-Communist. His personal attitude toward the United States\nis not known but is believed to be friendly. Before attending\nthe ILO Conference in San Francisco, he indicated special\ninterest in the problems of labor unions, collective bargaining,\nand principles of arbitration and conciliation.\nDECLASSIFIED\neffective\nAuthority E.O. 10501"
