It appears possible that the treaty work can be completed in time for you to address the conference on the afternoon of September 1, with the signing of treaty to take place on September 2. The Brazilian Government, particularly the military has proceeded with detailed plans for your arrival on the fourth so that you will be here for their independence day on the seventh. As I advised you (No. 73) President Dutra and Chairman Fernandes told me yesterday that they would proceed on basis of expediting work to complete treaty by Monday, September 1. But military are exerting heavy pressure to prevail upon you to delay your arrival to fourth. Brazilians propose that they personally and directly endeavor to persuade delegates to voluntarily accept delay. But I think this inevitably would place you in position of having been responsible for their pro- longed stay here. The majority are very anxious to get home. You might plan to arrive in Rio on Monday morning for the sole purpose of attending the final phase of the conference 3. ARCHIVES SERVICE* NATIONAL AND for OSCRET RECORDS INFORMATION COPY
