File No. 635.119/406
The Ambassador in Argentina ( F. J. Stimson) to the Secretary of State
[Received 3.56 p.m.]
My April 9, 4 p.m. Naón tells me that the Argentine Government is anxiously awaiting a reply to their formal [informal?] complaint concerning treatment of Argentine transports in the United States. In view of the fact that this complaint was made known to me for transmission to the Department with the idea of receiving a statement from the Government of the United States and thereby preventing the sending of a formal protest by the Minister of Marine, I beg to call the attention of the Department to the urgency of this matter, which Naón says is being taken very seriously by his Government.
