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

Santiago, July 8, 1932—noon.
[Received 1:11 p.m.]

126. Dávila is Provisional President this morning but with uncertain and probably short tenure. Ibañez is holding aloof. His support is increasing and his policy seems to be to wait until public opinion demands his return to power. Belief is general that this will be soon.
