The Ambassador in Brazil (Gibson) to the Secretary of State
[Received 9 p.m.]
150. Department’s 90, July 26, 9 p.m. Minister of Foreign Affairs has practically suspended operations until after the week-end. The new Minister whom I saw this afternoon has read none of the telegrams and is not familiar with the question. The Secretary General has left and no successor has taken over.
I discussed the matter with a well informed junior official who will try to get the Minister to read the telegrams tomorrow and give me some answer which I can report but I hardly expect to have anything dependable before Monday.
