With the position of Venezuela, which is one of complete solidarity with the United States in the present serious moments, defined as it has been by the President of the Republic, allow me, Excellency, to call to mind our friendly and cordial collaboration in Buenos Aires and the identity of our Pan American sentiments in order to renew to you the assurance that my country, sincerely united in ideals of democracy and liberty to the American people, condemns the aggression of which it has been the object by Japan and will cooperate in the defense of the continent and of the principles common to all our countries.
