.'our attitude toward Brazil has
created the impression here that our.
easy going good nature can be count
cd sop. This lis DANGEROUS in South

'tion.i T. request instructions as TO
whether, after a rupture of relations
legation is to start for home or to

able to carry through our principal
political aims in South America, the
maintenance of open market in Ar
gcntina and the reorganization OF
