Memorandum of Conversation, by the Adviser on Political Relations (Duggan)
[Washington,] October 3, 1942.
The Ambassador of Chile informed me that he had been instructed by his Government to state that it would be very glad to accept the armament set forth in the lists recently furnished the Ambassador in the event that Chile ruptures diplomatic relations with the Axis. The Ambassador made special mention of the fifty planes which the President had offered in addition to the equipment on the lists furnished him by the Department.
