The Ambassador in Chile (Culbertson) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 19—10:20 a.m.]
220. The Government declares publicly this morning that the elections will not be postponed for any reason thus rejecting efforts in that sense and settling the only serious issue which could have disturbed its stability. I have talked over the political situation with the Minister for Foreign Affairs and report further today.
The plan now is for the new German and Bolivian Ministers to present their credentials on Friday. The President would like to receive the entire Diplomatic Corps on that day but this cannot be done if we and the British delay recognition.
