The Minister in Bolivia (Norweb) to the Secretary of State
[Received 5 p.m.]
9. The Bolivian Minister for Foreign Affairs has been instructed to discuss the possibility of a tin arrangement and, should his overtures be well-received, to suggest a commission to formulate a plan. The instructions apparently thus far do not contemplate a general trade agreement. I told the Foreign Minister that the Department would consider attentively any suggestion from the Bolivian Government, but that much preliminary work would seem necessary before a commission would be justified. The Foreign Minister said that the instructions covered both these points.
