He added that the United States Government felt that it would not properly negotiate or sign with the present Argentine Regime the treaty of military assistance for which the conference was called. In a note to Brazil suggesting the postponement, the United States emphasised that, in view of the great importance attached to the treaty, negotiations should proceed as rapidly as possible. Mr Acheson revealed that the United States was consulting other American Governments regarding the position of Argentina.
