The Ambassador in Argentina (Weddell) to the Secretary of State
[Received 10:10 p.m.]
147. From Braden. Your 74, August 20, 3 p.m. The Brazilian Delegate doubts that his Government has recognized because day before yesterday he received cable approval of procedure referred to in last paragraph of my 144, August 19, 6 p.m. Uruguayan Delegate states his Government has instructed representative in Asuncion to recognize but first to consult with other mediatory representatives. Despite the foregoing all delegates agreed meeting this afternoon to recommend to our respective governments that no action be taken on recognition at least until the Conference has an opportunity to consider the Paraguayan answer to the suggestion of the Argentine Minister for Foreign Affairs, reported in my telegram 143, August 19 [18], 7 p.m. which suggestion was delivered to the Paraguayan Minister today. The Argentine Minister for Foreign Affairs has requested Cardinal Copello, now in Asuncion, to urge Paraguayan [Page 736] acceptance of his suggestion and to the same end Argentine Minister in Paraguay is returning there by plane Monday.
9:00 o’clock. Argentine Minister for Foreign Affairs informs me that the Paraguayan Minister telephoned that he has been instructed to deliver note accepting suggestion made by the Argentine Minister for Foreign Affairs. Before commenting I prefer to see the note itself. [Braden.]
