The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Chile (Culbertson)30
61. Your 161, August 5, noon, last paragraph.31 Information received from Argentina indicates that Zalles is endeavoring to wreck the work of the Neutral Commission. The Neutral Commission is of course glad to have the four neighboring countries remain united in their action in this matter and for them to cooperate with the Neutrals. As a matter of fact, the Neutral Commission is keeping the representatives in Washington of the four neighboring countries closely advised of all developments and when there is occasion therefor invites them to meet with the Commission. Any organization of the four neighboring countries should carefully avoid giving either of the disputant parties a chance to try to play off one group against the other and thereby have a settlement fail. Argentina and Brazil are being particularly helpful.
