The Ambassador in Peru (Steinhardt) to the Secretary of State

84. Referring to the Embassy’s despatches 741 and 76340 November 9th and 19th respectively. Dr. Concha informed me orally yesterday that Peru will agree to limited exceptions in the case of Chile, but that the list of exceptions to be proposed and now being prepared will be long, and on the condition that there be an exchange of letters or informal notes in addition to the trade agreement, by which the United States will undertake to reconsider the exceptions listed in the trade agreement in the case of Chile, in the event that the Chilean demands upon Peru in the course of the negotiation of the new Peruvian-Chilean commercial treaty are of such a nature as to necessitate such reconsideration.
