The Ambassador in Brazil ( Caffery ) to the Secretary of State
[Received 2:57 p.m.]
375. My telegram No. 4, January 1, 8 p.m.6 Dr. Herbert Moses, President of the Brazilian Press Association, strongly urges quick action in obtaining shipments of newsprint for Brazilian newspapers. He says that situation of A Noite, Government-sponsored paper, is acute, and the Jornal do Commercio will have to close unless it receives newsprint within 25 days. Further that he had been informed that newsprint loaded on Lloyd Brasileiro ships in New York had been removed on orders of our Maritime Commission. Our investigations reveal that supplies of newsprint here are very low.
