The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Chile (Culbertson)
Washington, April 28, 1933—3
p.m.
22. Your 58, April 22. Before determining upon any action with regard to the Chilean aide-mémoire of April 3, 1933, the Department would like your comment on the following points:
- (1)
- Do all American interests in the Cosach feel that the reorganization plan described in enclosure No. 666 to your despatch No. 1428 of April 15, 1933, offers the basis for a satisfactory and equitable solution of the Cosach problem including the controversy which has arisen over the 60 peso charge?
- (2)
- If not, is there any other course of action acceptable to the Chilean Government as a basis for negotiation upon which all American interests are united?
- (3)
- What further representations do the Governments of Great Britain, Germany and the Netherlands contemplate making? In making discreet inquiries in this connection you should avoid giving the impression that this Government’s action is contingent upon similar action by the Governments named.
