The Secretary of State to the Minister in Bolivia (Kaufman)

[Paraphrase]

36. Your telegram No. 61, December 14, noon. Since the Conference today by unanimous action (except Bolivia which was not present and Paraguay which refrained from voting) offered its good offices, and since I am Chairman of the Conference, I do not [Page 693] desire to suggest anything which might interfere with the action of the Conference or the acceptance of its good offices which I am exceedingly anxious to have Bolivia give.
