The Chargé in Argentina (Cabot) to the Secretary of State
[Received 11:18 a.m.]
520. I am informed by French Ambassador and another fairly reliable source that Cabinet has discussed at length immediate break in relations with the US but decision was adverse. Ambassador states that military men opposed break. Other sources indicate that Cooke is utterly furious at Blue Book, that he supported break and that he is now going all out in a series of communiqués to refute our charges and to smear US in return. Another source indicates that Argentina plans to maintain relations unless and until it discovers through other American Republics that we are planning break in which case it will anticipate US.
