letter was as follows:

"Mr. President,

"Me delegates to the Twentieth Annual Conference of the Berlin Socialist Youth were deeply alarmed to hear of the plan of the Peruvian military authorities to condemn Hugo Blanco, the revolutionary peasant leader, to death, utilizing dubious legal methods. The fear arises that to convert Hugo Blanco into a warning example will encourage the ruling classes of Peru to launch a new wave of terror directed against any and all antiimperialist and social-revolutionary forces throughout the country. We therefore call upon you, Mr. President, to do everything within your power to prevent the planned legal murder of Hugo Blanco. In particular, we call upon you to declare a general amnesty for all revolutionists imprisoned in Peru.

"We send our greetings to Hugo Blanco and all those comrades accused with hin, as well as to all revolutionary militants in the prisons of Peru.
