The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Chile (Bowers)
1174. The Department does not wish the information contained in its 1163 of October 2, 9 p.m. regarding the cutting off of supplies for Transradio to be used in such a way as to be subject to the interpretation that it contains a direct threat from this Government.
General Davis requests that the Embassy transmit the following from him to Jory immediately, for Jory to use, in his discretion, in his conversations with the other directors of Transradio: “I understand that all supplies for Transradio Chilena will be cut off if it continues to maintain its circuits with the Axis.”
[Page 159]Please make sure that, in any use that Jory makes of this information, he refers to it as emanating from the Chairman of C. R. I. C. rather than from this Government or your Embassy directly.
