The Chargé in Venezuela (Scott) to the Secretary of State
[Received 8:40 p.m.]
65. My telegram No. 62, July 11, noon.12 The statement of the Foreign Minister which I have just received reads in translation as follows:
“The Venezuelan Government considers the draft resolution pending before the Congress of the United States to accord to the American countries facilities for the construction of warships and military planes in the shipyards and factories of the United States and for the acquisition of war matériel as an apparent [praiseworthy] (Spanish ‘plausible’) evidence of the spirit of American cooperation and solidarity for the defense of the continental peace and security.”
The Spanish text of the statement will be forwarded by airmail tomorrow.
