The Minister in Colombia (Caffery) to the Secretary of State

21. My 19, January 17, 5 p.m. Colombian Government has delayed sending note to Kellogg Pact signatories in order to give every opportunity for Brazilian negotiations and avoid injuring sensibilities of Brazilian Minister for Foreign Affairs. Although Mello Franco admits completely unsatisfactory nature of Peruvian reply he still requests that Colombia take no steps to interrupt his mediation. Notwithstanding this Colombia intends to transmit Kellogg note today.
