- Consulate’s 205, July 25, 11 a.m., paragraph 3. Najera has despatched under date of July 25 a telegram to all states which received [Page 276] the circular letter of June 14 except those which have indicated that they have already placed an embargo into effect or are on the point of doing so. The text will be communicated to the latter by mail for their information.
In order to forestall further protests particularly on the part of Bolivia, the telegram specifies that it is being despatched at the request of the British Government thus presenting the embargo action as emanating from the individual states rather than from the League.
