The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Chile ( Bowers )
827. The Department would appreciate your answering the two specific questions which it posed in its telegram no. 796 of July 11, 8 p.m. Lest there be any misunderstanding the Department desires to make it clear that it does not consider the denial of the use of codes by Axis missions as an alternative to cutting the circuits with Axis territory. While the Department would be gratified by the denial of [Page 133] the use of codes to the Axis missions it believes that your effort should be directed to bringing about severance of the circuit.
