The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Argentina (Armour)

594. Reference despatch 4600, March 27 and previous regarding Corporación Sudamericana de Servicios Aéreos. We have now postponed Proclaimed List consideration for twice the period originally suggested in January by Dr. Bosch and unless there is a more hopeful prospect of early complete elimination of Axis interest in this company than appears to us here, we believe it will be necessary to propose firm’s inclusion on list shortly.
