The Chargé at Algiers (Chapin) to the Secretary of State
[Received 11:41 p.m.]
1049. From Reinhardt. In reply to the first paragraph of Department’s 937, March 29, 8 p.m., the phrase “Saturday last” contained in my 847, March 15, 8 p.m., is in error. It should read “Monday last” as in fact Bogomolov called on me the morning of Monday March 13.
With reference to time of issuance of Italian official communiqué our information is that this communiqué was issued on the night of March 13 for release after 12:01 a.m., March 14.
It would appear, therefore, that Bogomolov notified me officially of his Government’s action approximately 12 hours before the official Italian announcement. [Reinhardt.]
