The Chargé in Chile (Norweb) to the Secretary of State

3. My telegram No. 2, January 3, 3 p.m. Whelpley yesterday filed a formal protest with the President against the decree of annulment but said the company would not oppose the Government’s action and would lend its cooperation in liquidation proceedings but without responsibility for the consequences. I believe that for the time being the matter will rest there. The British Embassy has received no instructions as to diplomatic representations and indications are that the attitude of London is to await further developments.
