The Ambassador in Argentina ( Stimson) to the Secretary of State

Buenos Aires, March 8, 1917, 11 a.m.

My February 27, 11 a.m. Trustworthy information is that the projected Latin-American conference under the initiative of Argentina would be restricted to the expression of a desire for peace. Chile and Uruguay certainly, and Brazil probably, will decline to participate if the United States is excluded. Argentina’s move will probably be fruitless.
