The Minister in Uruguay (Wilson) to the Secretary of State

Montevideo, May 18, 1940—noon.
[Received 12:53 p.m.]

75. Guani has just telephoned me to say that Chile has accepted the Uruguayan text (I advised him after learning from Panama that Nicaragua has also accepted). He is therefore telegraphing Panama at once requesting that, as all the American States have accepted, the protest be published by the President of Panama in tomorrow morning’s papers. He intends to publish it here at that time and hopes other governments will do the same. He also intends as author of the initiative, to transmit the text to the Pope.

Wilson
