Letter from Lloyd Carpenter Griscom to Elihu Root

Letter from Lloyd Carpenter Griscom to Elihu Root

Lloyd Carpenter Griscom encloses two copies and translations of a new project which has been introduced into the Chamber of Deputies by Deputy Bernardino to establish a compensating tariff. Griscom thinks the project is of particular interest to the United States because the country would enjoy a 20 percent preferential reduction on merchandise entering Brazil. Griscom is undecided about whether to continue to press Jose Paranhos, Baron of Rio Branco, for a reduction on a list of specified articles or to urge the passage of the Bernardino act, which he doubts will become law.
