The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Chile (Bowers)

Washington, November 5, 1942—7 p.m.

1325. Your 1849, October 30, 1942, 11 p.m.⁴ To countries listed in Department’s 1296, October 28, 8 p.m. please add 5.84 percent for Uruguay. Department feels that exports from Chile to other American republics in excess of the percentage indicated should be permitted when conditions warrant and when approved by both Chilean and United States Governments.

The Department feels that the percentage basis is the fairest approach for making allocations in order that all the republics may be treated in a similar manner.
