The Chargé in Argentina ( Tuck ) to the Secretary of State
[Received 7:24 p.m.]
442. For the Under Secretary. Department’s 215, September 16, 7 p.m. The Minister for External Affairs sent for me this afternoon to say that after consulting with the Ministers of War and Marine these officials had declared that they were agreeable to the proposed informal staff conversations with Colonel Christian and Captain Brereton. Dr. Roca suggested that these officers should call on the Ministers of War and Marine tomorrow in order that arrangements for these talks could be made at once.
In conveying my thanks to the Minister for External Affairs for this information, which I assured him would be greatly appreciated in Washington, I again stressed the confidential nature of the proposed conversations.
