File No. 835.73/81
The Chargé in Argentina ( Robbins ) to the Secretary of State
Embassy’s April 24, 11 a.m.1 Doctor Martienzo, Attorney General of the Republic, to whom the petition of the Central & South American Telegraph Co. to lay a cable from Buenos Aires to Montevideo was referred, has given us his opinion that such petition should be granted and that the laying of this cable will in no way contravene the concession previously granted the Western Telegraph Co. Both national Attorneys General have now rendered a favorable opinion and I understand that the presidential decree formally granting the company’s petition will shortly be issued. The Western Telegraph Co. has now no further recourse beyond that of requesting a reconsideration of the Attorney Generals’ decision.
