The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Brazil (Caffery)
Washington, March 21, 1942—9
p.m.
725. Your 966 March 20, 7 p.m. Department highly commends the result of your efforts and trusts that the remaining members of the ring may be apprehended as anticipated. We are anxious that the source and method by which knowledge was obtained of the activities of the ring shall not become public, or fall into enemy hands. Can you not say that we have secret information as to the activities of these men, supplying such detailed information as may be necessary, without indicating the source of the information?
