The Acting Secretary of State to the Secretary of State
Telmar 90. Eyes Only and Personal for Marshall from Lovett. Growing sentiment evident in Congress and press that every effort should be made to terminate conference soonest possible without appearance failure or running away. This based on mounting tension abroad and increasing reports Communistic and revolutionary moves elsewhere Central and South America causing queries as to whether delegates should not be back home “doing something about it”.
No doubt some of this agitation inspired by domestic political considerations. Only for personal guidance, can you give me any estimate of termination date or your return?
