The Secretary of State to Diplomatic Representatives in the American Republics⁷⁶

Washington, December 30, 1943—9 p.m.

In view of the grave considerations of Hemisphere security and solidarity which underlie the December 24 resolution of the Committee for Political Defense at Montevideo the Department attaches great significance to action by all of the 19 republics concerned indicating their approval of that resolution. You are requested, by discreet inquiry, to ascertain whether the Government to which you are accredited intends to reply favorably to the Committee. Should there be any doubt on that score, you should make clear the importance which this Government attaches to the matter and express the hope that a favorable response to the resolution will be promptly made.
