33. Department’s telegram number 13, April 30, 2 p.m.58 Permission will probably be granted shortly.
I strongly urge that this company and Pan American Airways be induced to arrive at an amicable agreement as to division of territory, as their present open rivalry in Venezuela is prejudicial to American aviation interests in general. The Legation is maintaining strictest impartiality but foreign interests are very active.
