The Ambassador in Cuba (Welles) to the Secretary of State
[Received 8:25 p.m.]
339. The Minister of Paraguay who leaves tomorrow for Mexico City to which post he is also accredited advised me this afternoon that it was the unanimous opinion of all of the Latin American members of the Diplomatic Corps here, with whom he had been in constant consultation during the past few days, that the policy pursued by the Government of the United States in Cuba was absolutely right and proper. He stated that in his own judgment we had made every possible effort to permit the Cuban people to solve their own problems without interference and that they must assume the sole responsibility for the difficulties with which they are now confronted. He likewise told me that he understood the offer of some of the Latin American representatives here to act as friendly intermediaries had been rejected by Grau San Martín.
