The Ambassador in Brazil (Gibson) to the Secretary of State
[Received 12:10 p.m.]
96. Department’s 79, October 13, 7 p.m. Minister of Foreign Affairs says that he has been wary about volunteering his views as, owing to his initiative which led to previous adjournment, there is a disposition to involve him in another.
He says he feels so strongly on the question that he does not want to head the Brazilian delegation and so far as he can foresee will not do so unless you head our delegation.
He is obviously reluctant to take any lead in this matter but hoping some other Government will take a first step which he can support.
