740.34112A/7–2944: Airgram
The Chargé in Paraguay ( Reed ) to the Secretary of State
[Received August 5—8 a.m.]
A–280. Reference Embassy’s airgram 270, July 22, 1944, 8:30 a.m.77 Minister of Education78 this morning agreed to cooperate fully in order to eliminate undesirable elements from Colegio Alemán. He considered the matter as sufficiently delicate, however, to require conference with his colleagues and possibly the President before advising as to whether this reorganization could be more easily effected without Colegio Alemán having been listed or whether he would prefer listing action as a start. His personal and preliminary opinion was that the Paraguayan Government could intervene the school, actually naming the interventor as the Director and eliminating those known to be undesirable.
In view of the Minister’s position Embassy requests that listing action be delayed pending further advice to Department. Minister of Education has promised to express Paraguayan Government’s desires and to indicate action they are willing to take, in one week’s time at which time Department will be advised.
