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

[Paraphrase]

40. Since you have stated that constitutional forms have been observed in the executive branch of the Government, the Government of the United States does not desire to raise the question of recognition.

Department believes it advisable to avoid discussion of recognition and to let relations continue as at present without making public statements which seemingly are not called for.
