Argentine Government has not, as yet, formally acquiesced in waiver by Western Telegraph Company of monopolistic privileges now enjoyed by it in the Argentine. It is hoped that favorable action in that respect will be taken shortly by the Argentine Government. Department will be most happy to arrange for proposed exchange of complimentary messages as soon as Argentine Government has acquiesced, thereby making it possible to issue a license to operate the cable at Miami Beach for the purpose of carrying messages between the United States and South America.
