The Chargé in Bolivia ( Dawson ) to the Secretary of State
[Received 9:05 p.m.]
7. For the Under Secretary. Minister of Foreign Affairs tells me that his reports indicate Argentine resistance to strong action at Rio de Janeiro Conference and increasing Chilean uneasiness about going the whole way. He asserts, however, that he will cooperate with the United States thoroughly at the meeting and will support [Page 15] any decisions which the bulk of the American Republics may reach. While Bolivian cooperation has been so far purely lip service, I feel that if Rio de Janeiro meeting defines situation we can by tactful pressure probably secure action particularly in controlling German interests in Bolivia.
