The Ambassador in Argentina (Armour) to the Secretary of State
[Received 8:35 p.m.]
1304. Reference despatch 10263, May 24, 1943.87 The Central Bank informally advises Embassy that time has arrived when steps can be taken to investigate thoroughly activities of totalitarian firms in Argentina.88 The bank suggests that it be furnished with as much evidence and information as possible regarding activities of such firms in this hemisphere, and all data possible with respect to successful procedures used elsewhere in such investigations.
In view of the developments here, it will not be necessary for the Department to prepare an integrated memorandum as heretofore suggested. However, as much material as possible should be forwarded without delay. The Department will of course be informed of the Embassy’s ideas with regard to the use of such material after it has had the opportunity to study it.
