The Secretary of State to the Minister in Bolivia (Caldwell)
31. Your despatch 73, November 17, 1937. The Department will be very glad to have any suggestions that may lead to a solution of the Standard Oil Company’s case. However, before reaching any decision regarding a discussion with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, as set forth in the last paragraph of your despatch, the Department would have to have more specific information regarding what you have in mind as “an impartial outside agency.”
With reference to the last paragraph of your despatch 74, November 19,55 the Department already has informed the New York office of the Standard Oil Company that the Department believes the Company should present its case to the Supreme Court in accordance with the provisions of the decree of October 22, in order to protect the Company’s legal position.
With reference to your telegram 68, November 27, 5 p.m., please telegraph briefly the reasons for the deportation of Calvo. The Department has not notified the New York office of the Company regarding the deportation, since it is of the opinion that it should not act as a vehicle of communication for the Company.
