109. The Minister for Foreign Affairs³⁸ informs me that his Government is in entire agreement with the substance of the Department’s circular telegram dated June 27, 8 p.m. He added, however, that his Government would like to see section II relating to the protection of the Western Hemisphere amplified to include consideration of the proposal advanced by the Dominican Republic and Colombia at the Buenos Aires and Lima Conferences for the formation of an American League of Nations. He stated that instructions to this effect are being sent to the Dominican Minister at Washington.
