The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Brazil (Caffery)
68. From the Under Secretary. There is naturally very great interest here both on the part of the Government and on the part of public opinion generally, particularly in view of President Vargas’ recent public statements as well as because of the press campaign in Berlin, to know precisely what the Brazilian authorities may have ascertained with regard to foreign participation in and responsibility for the recent uprising in Rio de Janeiro.
Please tell Aranha that I shall appreciate it if he will let you have for our confidential information such information as he feels he can appropriately give us with regard to this question.
Please telegraph fully what he may say to you in this regard.
