The Ambassador in Argentina (Braden) to the Secretary of State
[Received 7:25 p.m.]
1815. Embassy informed reliable source that Ibarra García6 stated to Foreign Office while in Buenos Aires that opinions in Department were divided regarding my methods in handling Argentine problem.
Clearly spreading of any such opinion would have adverse repercussions in many directions, weaken my position vis-à-vis Argentine Government and prejudice progress along lines [re]commended in Deptel 928, July 19, 5 p.m. and 945, July 21, 2 p.m. Therefore recommend Department take earliest opportunity to disabuse Ibarra García of any idea that Department does not approve of what I have done here.
