840.48 Refugees/1069: Telegram
The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Kennedy)
763. For Rublee. Your 1411, December 8, 5 p.m. As a matter of general policy, this Government does not desire to make representations to the government of any other American republic jointly with some non-American power. Please endeavor to discourage this type of request in the future while making it clear, of course, in the instant cases as well as in similar cases which may arise in the future, that this Government will be glad to do what it may directly and of its own initiative in friendly discussions with the governments of other American republics to further a satisfactory solution of refugee questions.
The specific questions dealt with in paragraphs 2 and 3 of your telegram under reference will be taken up by me directly with the representatives of Paraguay and Ecuador in Washington.
