The Minister in Paraguay ( Mooney ) to the Secretary of State

[Telegram]
Asuncion , February 8, 1917, 4 p.m.
[Received February 9, 1.45 a.m.]

Department’s February 3, 1 p.m. The Paraguayan Minister for Foreign Affairs has privately informed me that he is in full sympathy [Page 227] with the position of the United States. The Paraguayan Government has not yet taken action on the question and having but little interest in sea commerce may abstain from formally expressing its attitude.

Mooney
