The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Chile (Bowers)

1198. The Department is communicating urgently with the British Embassy here and our Embassy in London, outlining the circumstances related in your 1659 of October 8, 8 p.m., and stating its opinion that it would be most unfortunate if the British Government should express to the Chilean Government any objections at this time to the action taken by Transradio, since this action impairs the official communications of the Axis without having any practical effect on those of the British.
