The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Argentina ( Stimson)
[Telegram]
Washington,
December 24, 1917, 6 p.m.
Your December 22, noon. You may if you deem it advisable issue denial that Washington Post in any way voices the views of the administration. It is entirely a private enterprise and without any color of Government support; rather the contrary. Department entirely disapproves of the tone taken in regard to the Argentine Republic in this matter and deplores any ill feeling that may be caused thereby.
