The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Mexico (Messersmith)

Washington, September 19, 1944—5 p.m.

1730. The Civil Aeronautics Authority states that since an International Conference on Aviation is to be held in the United States beginning November 1, which it is expected will be attended by a Mexican Delegation, it seems appropriate to suggest to the Mexicans that the Technical Conference, subject of the Department’s instruction number 6248, September 12,82 should be abandoned for the present [Page 545] and a discussion in this country in conjunction with the International Conference should be substituted therefor.

Kindly convey above suggestion to the Mexican authorities and advise Department of their reply.83
