The Ambassador in Brazil (Gibson) to the Secretary of State
[Received 9:50 p.m.]
254. My telegram No. 253, October 1, 2 p.m. Minister for Foreign Affairs66 this afternoon confirmed impressions I reported, both as to improbability of League conciliation commission sitting in Buenos Aires and as to reasons for acquiescing in Uruguayan proposal. He added that he saw no practical difference between accepting membership on committee or subcommittee and that Brazil had followed a consistent course which had been confirmed in message to Bolivia Saturday and in definite statement made by President Vargas today to Bolivian Minister that Brazil would accept no place on committees organized by the League.
If the Department is considering a different course I hope you will give me the benefit of your views.
