The Personal Representative of the President (Caffery) to the Acting Secretary of State

534. My telegram No. 532, December 28, 6 p.m. The Uruguayan Minister has made no further progress thus far with his plan as far as I can ascertain.

I, of course, have discussed the situation with a large number of people. In some cases I have requested a written memorandum of the opinion expressed to me. I asked one from the supporters of Mendieta which I received yesterday, a copy of which has apparently passed into the hands of Dr. Grau. The government, I am told, is disposed to consider favorably these latest Mendieta suggestions. I am a little skeptical about this.
