The Ambassador in Argentina (Weddell) to the Secretary of State

Buenos Aires, October 22, 1935—noon.
[Received October 22—11:55 a.m.]

252. Department’s instruction No. 284, September 25. I have on several occasions mentioned this matter to the Foreign Minister who told me yesterday that failure to answer was because of reluctance of Minister of Finance to reply to a query of a nonofficial organization. I explained at some length the high standing and purpose of the Council. The Foreign Minister finally telephoned the Minister of Finance who he said promised him a written reply to be communicated to me.
