The Chargé in Peru (Dreyfus) to the Secretary of State

Lima, June 24, 1939—1 p.m.
[Received 2:51 p.m.]

50. With reference to the Department’s telegram No. 40 of June 23, 7 p.m. the Foreign Office has not yet been able to arrange my audience with Benavides. The Foreign Minister¹⁴ assures me that a time will be fixed early next week. However, the substance of the Department’s telegram No. 39, June 13, 1 p.m. was explained in detail to the Minister of Foreign Relations on June 15. The Foreign Minister informs me that he immediately conveyed this information to the President and that the latter already clearly understands that there must be extensive prefatory conversations before the commission departs.
