The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Bolivia (Hibbard)
73. The Department is informed by Pan American-Grace Airways that the Lloyd Aero Boliviano is trying to obtain a monopoly in Bolivia. Please say to the appropriate authorities that this Government hopes that no action will be taken which would prejudice the pending application of an American company to connect La Paz with its established air route along the west coast and with the routes to be established along the east coast. Point out that the American company [Page 611] is not seeking exclusive privileges and that the adoption of a restrictive policy by any country would hamper the general development of commercial aviation with resultant detriment to all concerned. Report briefly by cable.
