The Secretary of State to the Chargé in Brazil (Thurston)
Washington, August 12,
1932—5 p.m.
62. Your 84, August 12, noon. The Department sees no objection to your giving such informal assistance as you may judge advisable in connection with the efforts of American citizens who desire to leave Santos by steamer.
It is obvious that if arrangements are made, with the approval of the Brazilian Government, for an American vessel to enter the harbor at Santos, satisfactory assurances will have to be obtained from the insurgents that they will permit the vessel to leave.
