The Chargé in Argentina (Cabot) to the Secretary of State

3121. ReEmbtel 3115, December 13, noon. Embassy this morning received call from two representatives of Junta who protested in strong terms against yesterday’s statements. These gentlemen who are well disposed toward Embassy and who are currently working closely with Embassy on discharge of German employees and plans for sale of 15 firms, expressed their objection to statement that Junta has done nothing to eliminate Nazi firms.

Their attitude adds weight to my recommendation that correction be published.
