The Ambassador in Peru (Norweb) to the Secretary of State

Lima, June 9, 1940—11 a.m.
[Received 1 p.m.]

71. The Minister of Finance is reported by an American broker to have informed a committee of the local Cotton Exchange that within 8 days he expected a credit of 40 cents per bale on the cotton now held in Peru.

Could the Department inform me if there is anything to warrant this statement.

Norweb
