Sir: I have the honor to report that several members of the Brazilian delegation to the forthcoming Habana Conference have stated in informal conversations that they “hope for leadership and not words from the United States at Habana, failing which American prestige and influence will suffer immensely and the Germans will gain added ground”.
Respectfully yours,
Jefferson
Caffery
