The Ambassador in Brazil ( Caffery ) to the Secretary of State

279. The Minister for Foreign Affairs showed me this morning a telegram from his Legation at La Paz recommending that normal relations be continued with the Bolivian Government and that the question of recognition be not raised. Aranha observed that it was his intention to adopt that course and he remarked that he hoped that the Department of State would not raise a question of recognition either but would continue normal relations.
