The Ambassador in Brazil (Morgan) to the Secretary of State
[Received June 28—2:35 p.m.]
27. An article has appeared in the local press inquiring the reason why Brazil has not been included in your invitation to participate as an original signatory to the proposed Treaty for the Renunciation of War, inasmuch as such countries as Czechoslovakia and Poland have been included. As the Foreign Office might be embarrassed should a similar question be asked in the Brazilian Congress or should a discussion thereon arise, would you wish to give me a statement on the matter which I might informally and unofficially furnish the Foreign Minister in the event that it seemed desirable.
