File No. 862.20235/210
The Ambassador in Argentina ( Stimson) to the Secretary of State
[Received 9.40 p.m.]
My December 21, 11 a.m. None of the newspapers makes editorial comment upon the Luxburg telegrams except La Nación, in which the comment is far less [omission], and the Union, in which the publication of the telegrams is called an anticlimax and it is pointed out that the rumored insult to the President does not exist.
No mention of the telegrams has been made in Congress. It does not seem probable that people here will be wrought up again upon this issue by the contents of the telegrams published.
[Page 394]The editorial in the Washington Post and Naón’s reply thereto have been published in La Nación; the editorial in question has caused considerable ill feeling particularly since it seems to be believed, and in La Prensa was definitely stated, that the paper referred to is the “official of the United States Government.”
A meeting of the young men’s committee was held yesterday to discuss the situation caused by the publication of the telegrams. The meeting resulted in slight disorder, but nothing definite was accomplished and another meeting has been called for Sunday.
