The Minister in Colombia (Piles) to the Secretary of State

[Paraphrase]
Bogotá, July 17, 1928—noon.
[Received 10 p.m.]

58. I consider the situation to be as set forth by the Department in its 37, July 16, 12 noon.

It is my opinion that the Government will take no action thereon unless pressed. The Foreign Minister is ill. I am trying to see the President and will cable immediately thereafter.
