448. Deptel 447.53 Views reportedly expressed by Acting Braz FonMin impel us to inquire whether you have observed any indication in La Paz which could form the basis for suspicion that Argentine and/or Brazilian (or any other) governments might be hostile to the new Bolivian regime. If so we should like to receive your views whether our recognition at early date would tend to stabilize the situation and hence perhaps per se be worthwhile. Please consider this in conjunction with Deptel 449.53
