710.Peace/704: Telegram
The Secretary of State to the Argentine Minister for Foreign Affairs (Saavedra Lamas)
I have the honor of acknowledging the receipt of Your Excellency’s telegram27 in which you advise me that Your Excellency’s Government has devoted special attention to fixing the date for the holding [Page 24] of the Inter-American Conference for the Maintenance of Peace convoked at the suggestion of the President of the United States so that the date fixed would be one which would best suit the representatives of the participating Governments and would at the same time be the date most opportune for the Argentine Government to welcome the visiting delegations. Your Excellency advises me that you have reached the conclusion that the first of next December will be the only suitable date and expresses the hope that the fixing of the time mentioned will be convenient to this Government.
In expressing my particular appreciation of Your Excellency’s most courteous and friendly message, it gives me great pleasure to state that the first of next December will be a date eminently agreeable to this Government.
I assure [etc.]
