The Ambassador in the United Kingdom ( Winant ) to the Secretary of State
[Received August 28—6:50 p.m.]
4817. Department’s 3841, August 13, 11 p.m. Foreign Office informs us that the British Ambassador at Santiago has been instructed to consult with our Ambassador there with a view to bringing jointly [Page 137] to the attention of the Chilean Foreign Office that evidence was in their possession that the circuits with the Axis were being improperly used.
Foreign Office assures us that British authorities are concerned solely in cooperating with us and that such specific instructions as have now been sent to the British Ambassador were not sent previously because British authorities thought that we were awaiting report of General Davis before deciding definitely on a course of action.
It would be helpful to us to receive from the Department as soon as possible information regarding any decisions that may have been reached at the meeting of the trustees of the consortium trust which was to take place in New York City on August 24.
