The Secretary of State to the Embassy in Brazil
239. For Emb info only Braz Emb Washington has approached Dept inquiring whether this Govt disposed to recognize Nicaragua now in company with Brazil and Mexico. Braz basis of inquiry (1) Nicaragua has been invited to Bogotá Conference, (2) unless Nicaragua recognized, difficult to deal with Nicaraguan delegates at Bogotá, and (3) Nicaraguan Govt now stable and circumstances discouraging recognition at earlier date have now disappeared.
Dept is unable to favorably immediately consider Braz proposal. Nicaragua invited to Bogotá as matter formality and no difficulty has been encountered in dealing with Nicaraguan delegates at either UN or in PAU. Dept feels that the moment is not opportune to grant recognition. However, if at Bogotá Conference a general resolution should be approved pointing towards renewal relations with Nicaragua this Govt would of course be disposed to lend favorable consideration, making known its position to all American republics.
