The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Argentina ( Armour )
Washington
, May 26,
1944—noon.
859. Reference your 1242 of May 16.14 In the transaction of urgent and necessary business, the Embassy is authorized to certify signatures of present Argentine authorities provided it is indicated that the officials in question are the de facto authorities now functioning in Argentina.
Such legalization with such indication does not constitute recognition of a new government. It is desirable that such certifications be kept to a minimum.
