Memorandum of a Telephone Conversation, by the Chief of the Division of the American Republics (Duggan)

Dr. Fombona9 stated that he had received instructions from his Government to inform this Government of his Government’s belief that the next Inter-American Conference scheduled to be held in Lima on December 9, 1938, should not be postponed.

I thanked Dr. Fombona for giving me this information, which I said would be conveyed at once to Mr. Welles and the Secretary.
