201. Department’s circular June 27, 7 p.m. The Minister for Foreign Affairs says that the only comment that he has to make concerning the joint resolution is that it is “long overdue”. He considers that the legislation is “vitally necessary;” also Brazil has been waiting for it for some time and has a particular interest therein in connection with the guns promised for the destroyers which are now under construction here.
