The Ambassador in Argentina (Weddell) to the Secretary of State
[Received 5:45 p.m.]
Your October 15 [5]. I yesterday sent a personal note to Saavedra Lamas strongly stressing the importance of time element, adding that it was one which was beginning to cause me grave concern and urging him to instruct Espil to begin informal discussions in that city. I made no reference in my note to exchange or to his suggestion for local committees to discuss general subject here.
My motive in writing rather than in seeking an interview just now was to avoid further interminable and fruitless discussions and to emphasize in writing that time pressed.
