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

Washington, February 18, 1943—7 p.m.

176. From the Under Secretary.3 The President approves the acceptance by the Vice President of the invitation of the Chilean Government to visit Chile. I have, consequently, suggested to the Chilean [Page 56] Ambassador that he personally transmit the official invitation of the Chilean Government to the Vice President, which was arranged to take place today.

For your personal information you will understand, of course, that the Vice President will have to accept similar invitations from the Governments of the countries through which he will have to pass on his way to Chile. [Welles.]
