The Ambassador in Chile (Shea) to the Secretary of State

Santiago, November 28, 1918, 4 p.m.
[Received November 29, 1.20 a.m.]

Minister of Foreign Affairs requested me today to ask that United States consular officers in Peru be placed in charge of Chilean consular interests. Instructions desired. Strongly urge that this be done if consistent with policy.
