611.2531/187: Telegram
The Ambassador in Chile (Philip) to the Secretary of State
[Received 12:55 p.m.]
31. Department’s 26, June 30, 8 [5] p.m.21 Although the Minister of Foreign Affairs has assured me in reply to my suggestions that the Foreign Office would endeavor to prepare a reply to the Embassy’s memorandum of the 9th instant [ultimo], I doubt if anything of much interest can be expected.
I have been informed confidentially that it has been decided here to make every effort to arrive at an understanding satisfactory to the United States but the present attitude seems to indicate the intention to await the outcome of the exploratory conversation by Señor García with the Department.
