MR. AMBASSADOR: I have the honor to reply to Your Excellency's esteemed note number 199, [1] of the 30th of last September, in which you are pleased to re- fer to that of His Excellency Mr. John Campbell White, number 812, ASS, p. 312z. of June 11th of last year, containing the texts in English and Spanish of the memorandum of agreement signed on June 8, 1945, by the Minister of Agriculture, engineer Godofredo A. Labarthe, in the name of Peru, and by Mr. W . C. Brister, for the Institute of Inter-American Affairs-an agency of the Government of the United States of America-by which the food production program is extended until December 31, 1946. In reply, I must inform Your Excellency that by Supreme Resolu- tion No. 473, issued by the Ministry of Agriculture on June 8, 1945, it was decided to approve the said agreement for extension, with refer- ence to the continuing of the functioning of the Cooperative Food Production Service, as a branch of the Ministry of Agriculture. I am also pleased to inform Your Excellency that the Minister of Agriculture, in a recent note, expressed to this Office the desire to renew without any change the contract with the Inter-American Cooperative Food Production Service. Such desire is supported by the fact that the present Scipa mission has been in the country some time and has increased the understanding of our problems, being, at the present time, in the most favorable situation for obtaining the best results. For these reasons our Embassy in the United States of America took steps for the said renewal. I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest and most distinguished consideration.
