The Ambassador in Chile ( Sevier ) to the Secretary of State
[Received 1:10 p.m.]
17. Your telegram No. 18. The question has been discussed with the representatives of Baldwin and an interview with the Foreign Office has been arranged for tomorrow. In the meantime the Baldwin representative[s] believe it will be helpful for the Department to talk to the Chilean Ambassador who was formerly Director General of Railways and who might be disposed to cable his Government recommending [Page 10] the continued use of Baldwin equipment. The contract will probably be awarded shortly after the return of the Minister of Finance from leave on Thursday.
