55. Your despatch 5111, November 23, 1944.53 You may refer to the memorandum addressed to you on November 23, 1944, by the Uruguayan Minister of Foreign Affairs54 and inform the Foreign Minister that your Government has been giving most sympathetic consideration to the proposal which he outlined in that memorandum regarding a guarantee of frontiers. You may say that your Government will be most interested to learn in greater detail what the Foreign Minister has in mind.
While the Department cannot of course say that it will support his initiative until it receives the precise text of his proposed resolution, you may inform the Foreign Minister that the Department is favorably impressed with his initiative in principle. You may add that the Department is giving the most earnest consideration to the matter of strengthening the inter-American system and that it plans to introduce a resolution at the forthcoming Conference setting forth steps by which the machinery of the inter-American system might be improved.
