Blow to Inter-/nerican Reletions
reruvian in Lina to New York City: "I a: writin. this let-
ter with great sudness because I see tnat all tne work rhich we
nave dene t> improve good relutions between our two countries
has received a severe blow. The visit of. Vi:e-President “allace,
instead of iniproving our relations, has made them worse. The
Vice President has been reserved and discourteous in spite of
the magnificent wa: we received him, and he has wounded everyone,
"You and I have been with the leftist leader in an inter-
view and you know the good rel:.tions which exist between us; there-
fore, I heve no personal motive which will keep me from telling :
the truth. The political party APRA is widespread in Peru, but
it does not represent the feelings of all Peruvians. There are
very important groups outside of that party. It is not true
either that the Governnent is a tyranny. It is a government re-
spectful of individual rights. The laws of repression are used
only against those who go outside of the bounds of those laws.
It seams that the Vice President was impressed by the members
of that purty who exaggerated the situation here and the attitude
of the Vice President was one of frank censoring and meddling
in our domestic affairs. | .
"It has turned out that after receiving him so splendidly
everyone has cooled off and there is much censuring and resentment
at his attituce. I lament this situation and I want you to know
it so thet things may be understood Clearly there. The people
believe that he has come here to meddle in our affairs and do us
harm instead of good. :
