The Ambassador in Peru (Norweb) to the Secretary of State
[Received 12:44 p.m.]
101. Department’s circular of July 11, 5 p.m. I presented the texts of the draft convention and resolution to the Foreign Minister late last night. He said that he would place them before the President and the Cabinet immediately for study and suggestions and indicated that Peru had not contemplated a formal convention providing machinery for possible administrative control of the regions under reference. He indicated also that he intended to consult with Peru’s neighbors regarding their reaction. His attitude again reflected over-caution and hesitancy. He assured me that both projects would have careful study and promised an early reply giving his Government’s comments.
