711.00 Statement July 16, 1937/41a: Circular telegram

The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Argentina (Weddell)46

Department’s circular telegram July 22, 7 p.m. Department has received telegrams from missions in other American republics indicating desire of Foreign Ministers to publish my declaration carried in Radio Bulletin No. 164, July 16, and to publish their own comments with respect thereto. Should you receive similar inquiry you may state that our plan has been to get the maximum beneficial effect by assembling replies from all governments and publishing them en bloc. I should thus prefer to defer publication and to arrange with the Minister for Foreign Affairs for a later simultaneous release although I do not feel that I can insist thereon.

  1. Repeated to all missions in Latin America except Mexico, Ecuador, and Nicaragua.
