The Secretary of State to the Minister in Bolivia (Des Portes)
7. Your 36, June 20, 6 p.m.96 There has of course been no “American propaganda” in Geneva or South America for an arms embargo. The action we have taken in relation to Geneva has been to advise the League’s Committee of Three of the President’s proclamation of May 28, in reply to the Committee’s inquiry whether this Government was prepared to participate in an embargo; and to transmit the text of the proclamation to the Secretary General. As regards South America, we have merely inquired the views of various countries.
Our action has been in line with our consistent and impartial efforts over several years to further in every appropriate way a peaceful settlement of this conflict.
