File No. 763.72/9539
The Ambassador in Argentina (Stimson) to the Secretary of State
[Received 5.49 p.m.]
My April 11 [10], 3 p.m. The Uruguayan Minister has returned from his visit to Montevideo. He informs me that the demand of the Uruguayan Government as to whether the German Government considers itself in a state of war with Uruguay, was made (three?) days since. He further informs me confidentially that the German Government, through its Ambassador to Spain, suggested that the matter of the detention of the Uruguayan military mission be arbitrated by the Spanish Government, but that Uruguay has refused to consider it.
