To assist you in connection with inquiries undoubtedly being made by press concerning our future course of action in respect to Argentina you are informed that we contemplate no statement here at this time except to point out that document speaks for itself and that in submitting it to other American govts we have indicated that we would appreciate receiving their views thereon (see last page of document).
We desire to have attention continue to focus on document itself and facts presented therein and not to do anything which might distract attention from it.
It is not intended to make any reply to Perón’s attack on Mr. Braden in former’s speech yesterday. To queries by correspondents in this regard Mr. Braden replied today off the record that he did not care to dignify attack by a reply.
