The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Venezuela (Corrigan)
Washington, February
15, 1945—8 p.m.
122. It is not clear from your recent telegrams what action Venezuela contemplates with respect to entering into a state of war or belligerency. However, the Foreign Office should understand that before Escalante can sign the United Nations Declaration we must have a Venezuelan communication to the effect that Venezuela is “at war.”
