The Chargé in Colombia (Dawson) to the Acting Secretary of State

Bogotá, July 13, 1933—8 p.m.
[Received 9:05 p.m.]

62. Minister for Foreign Affairs is instructing Lozano¹⁰ to approach Department regarding possible presentation to Seventh Pan American Conference of fourth step proposed in President Roosevelt’s disarmament message May 16.¹¹ His interest is obviously in securing general Pan American commitment not to send armed forces across frontiers. I pointed out that fourth step was suggested as a corollary to fulfillment of three preceding proposals made in message and expressed doubt as to possibility of singling it out for action.
