Memorandum by the Acting Chief of the Division of the American Republics (Bonsal) to the Chief of the Division of International Communications (Burke)
[Washington,] July 28, 1941.
Mr. Burke: I believe we should do everything possible to discourage further expansion by Condor. Since the existence of sufficient Panagra service to accommodate all the traffic would be one factor in such discouragement of Condor, I believe everything possible should be done to obtain authorization for an additional service for Panagra between Buenos Aires and Santiago, and to obtain planes for the purpose.
Philip W. Bonsal
