711.00 Statement July 16, 1937/31: Telegram

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

109. Department’s circular July 22, 7 p.m. I today saw the Minister for Foreign Affairs, communicated to him the pertinent portions of this circular and gave him a copy of your statement of July 16. He said he had not seen this but after hastily reading it expressed his general approval adding that he would like to meditate the matter and asked me to see him again on Monday afternoon when he hoped to give me in writing his views and reactions to your statement. I emphasized your desire with regard to making known publicly his Government’s support of these principles of international conduct and policy.

Weddell
