The Ambassador in Brazil (Morgan) to the Secretary of State

22. My 21, February 11, 11 a.m. Brazilian Foreign Office has telegraphed Brazilian Ambassador in Washington and Brazilian Legation in Bogotá that the words “en compensaçao” should be understood as equivalent to “por outro lado”. Chile was so informed also in answer to inquiry. Foreign Minister considers it unnecessary to telegraph this to Lima where there appears to be no misunderstanding.
