The Ambassador in Brazil (Morgan) to the Secretary of State

Rio de Janeiro, September 22, 1932—10 a.m.
[Received September 22—9:40 a.m.]

111. Chief of the Provisional Government received me last evening to whom I stated the international complications which might follow continuation of Campinas bombardment. These bombardments he alleged are in reprisal for Paulista bombardment of positions of Federal Army in and about Mogy-Mirim. I pointed out that this locality was not inhabited by foreigners. Chief of the Provisional Government will confer with Minister of War.

Bombing planes are of American origin recently received from the United States.
