The Chargé in Venezuela (Scott) to the Secretary of State
[Received 5:30 p.m.]
64. Department’s No. 45, May 14, 4 p.m. The Minister for Foreign Affairs has agreed to the proposal. He stated, however, that he was only agreeing as a personal favor to the Under Secretary and that he is more convinced than ever that similar incidents should be handled first with the Neutrality Committee. He expressed his opinion that far too many resolutions were being hastily taken up by the Pan American countries without sufficient consultation. In this connection, he referred specifically to the protest regarding the invasion of Holland43 which he does not like and he strongly condemned the recent proposal of Argentina44 which he characterized as ill-advised and dangerous.
