The Minister in Uruguay (Wright) to the Secretary of State

40. Your telegram No. 22, November 2, 5 p.m. Undersecretary for Foreign Affairs tells me that Secretary General of the League of Nations was not officially invited by Uruguayan Government to send an observer to the forthcoming Pan American Conference but that Nogueira will be here during the Conference in order to supply such information as may be requested pursuant to the arrangement reported in my telegram 33, October 8, 10 a.m.,34a and that he will not “in any [Page 38] way” participate in the Conference. Admitting that it had been suggested that Nogueira would attend as an “observer”, Undersecretary expressed concurrence in my observation that the use of that title had an unfortunate connotation.

Notice that Nogueira would attend appeared in United Press despatch from Geneva on October 29th.
