710.Consultation (3)A/293: Telegram
The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Uruguay (Dwyer)
274. For Spaeth from Welles. Your 430, April 20, 5 p.m. While both your proposals have merit, I believe that treatment of the subject in the annual report to the Union, as outlined in the second paragraph of your telegram, is to be preferred. However, to achieve the desired effect it would appear necessary that the Committee’s action be approved by unanimous vote of all members other than the Argentina one. Please discuss the matter discreetly with Guani with a view to having him sound out the members other than Chiappe. So far as possible, it would be wise for you to avoid taking the initiative.
Before any action is taken to raise this matter in the Committee please advise the Department of the results of your conversation with Guani and of any conversations he, in turn, may have had with members other than Chiappe. [Welles.]
