Memorandum by the Chief of the Division of American Republics (Duggan) of a Conversation With the Brazilian Ambassador (Aranha)
The Brazilian Ambassador stated that his Government desired to act in concert with the United States with regard to the Uruguayan proposal that a state of belligerency be recognized in Spain. I informed the Ambassador in general of the nature of our proposed reply, which he said he would transmit at once to his Government with a strong plea that it adopt the same attitude. The Ambassador assured me that he would have the reply by tomorrow, and expressed the hope that this Government might see fit to hold up its note to the Uruguayans until he had word that the substance of the two replies would be in agreement.
