17. Referring to Department’s circular June 27, 7 p.m., in conversation with the Minister of Foreign Affairs today he stated that the proposed facilities should prove a handy thing for all the American Republics. However, owing to the isolated geographical position and financial condition of his country, he did not feel free to express an active interest therein by Paraguay at the moment but promised me a further statement after consulting with the President.
