The Ambassador in Brazil (Caffery) to the Secretary of State

Rio de Janeiro, March 22, 1942—7 p.m.
[Received March 23—12:50 a.m.]

992. Department’s 725, March 21, 9 p.m. When we give the police some of the evidence we have they will probably know how we got it.

If we do not give them any evidence they will not be disposed to hold the spies because they have no evidence against them other than the captured radio transmitter; they did not capture them operating it.
