The Ambassador in Argentina (Braden) to the Secretary of State
[Received September 1—8:05 p.m.]
2045. Reference Embassy’s telegrams 1441, July 5, 9 p.m. and 1498, July 11, 6 p.m. In absence of any information from Department, I assume it was impossible to raise at Potsdam13 question of British attitude toward Argentine question. If this is case, strongly recommend that this be discussed at forthcoming London meeting of Foreign Ministers.14
While possible application of broad economic sanctions against Argentina is not recommended presently, if Argentina persists in protecting Axis interests and influences the question might arise subsequently, hence discussion thereof with the British now might be desirable in order to pave way for possible later action if needed.
