The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Brazil (Caffery)

Washington, April 16, 1943—11 p.m.

1420. From the Under Secretary. Your 1608, April 2, 4 p.m.⁵³ Please tell Aranha that I have no further suggestions to make at this time regarding Argentina’s membership on the Committee for Political Defense. It seems to me that taking into account Argentina’s reception of a group from the Committee for consultative purposes and the growing intensity of the Argentine political struggle, we might wish to avoid for motives of expediency any further action for the present, even though of course, I recognize that Argentina’s presence on this inter-American body is illogical. [Welles.]
