First he cabled Secretary Cordell Hull and Vice President Henry Wallace suggesting they withhold recognition until certain conditions were met by the Villarroel Government, then he started by air for La Paz. If he is taken into the Government, its few more or less liberal members may be turning the Villarroel regime toward something resembling democracy; if not, the Fascist-tinged elements of the MNR (Moviemento...
