The Ambassador in Chile (Bowers) to the Secretary of State
[Received 4:14 p.m.]
196. Your circular telegram January 28, 1 p.m. Repeatedly and are continuously in contact with American air and steamship lines and all American concerns handling strategic materials regarding sabotage, and have repeatedly discussed all this in detail with Chilean Government which is completely in accord and cooperative. Military Attaché47 has been sent to strategic points to investigate and advise and report several times and Colonel Johnson has just returned from such a mission. No case of sabotage known yet though suspected that the forest fires in the south may be ascribable to Axis agents.
