March 20, 4 p.m. Rumors persist that Corporación Sud Americana de Servicios Aéreos anxious to get Lati planes for extending its airline to Rio de Janeiro and possibly to Europe as mentioned in Embassy’s despatch No. 4383 March 11.
Do you think checkmating would release Lati planes to Argentina and do you know whether Corporación or affiliates have recently approached Brazil regarding an Argentine airline to Rio de Janeiro? If so we might forestall such development by putting Corporación on Proclaimed List. Your comments will be appreciated.
Repeated to Department.
