The Ambassador in Chile ( Sevier ) to the Secretary of State
[Received 2:55 p.m.]
46. Department’s 21, April 12, 5 p.m.21 Cruchaga is deeply grateful for Department’s message and accepts wholeheartedly the suggestion of a joint appeal to Brazil. He suggests that appeal be in the form of a telegram from Washington signed by the Secretary of State and by the Ambassadors of Argentina, Chile and Peru acting under instructions from their respective Governments. He promises to send appropriate instructions immediately to Ambassador Trucco in this sense. He expresses the hope that the Department either has made or will make a suggestion similar to its 21, April 12, 5 p.m. to Governments of Argentina and Peru.
Cruchaga explained for the information of the Department that the Brazilian reply not only “protested” strongly about the omission of Brazil from the economic conference but expressed “surprise” that the United States was not included in the latter and expressed “surprise” that Uruguay was not included in the political conference. Cruchaga stated that he will instruct the Chilean Ambassador in Washington to the effect that if it seems desirable to meet Brazil’s objections on these last two points as well as point 1 in the joint appeal, he is authorized to do so as Chile has not the slightest objection to the inclusion of the United States and Uruguay in the form apparently desired by Brazil.
