The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Argentina (Riddle)

41. Your August 11, 7 p.m.

It will be a source of great satisfaction to me personally, if, before my departure from Washington Wednesday next, I should be in a [Page 537] position to announce definitely the opening of this additional means of communication with the countries of South America.

Please see the Minister for Foreign Affairs, advise him of the foregoing, emphasize my personal interest, and express the hope that he may find it possible to give the promised confirmation which would be most gratifying to this Government.

Hughes
