Abstract
Description
Enclosure: See No. 1656. Just had long conversation with Foreign Minister [Ezequiel] Padilla on basis of Department's telegram of Nov. 16 and telephone conversations with [Norman] Armour and [Carl B.] Spaeth; made it clear to Padilla that U.S. would prefer to discuss post-war problems at meeting of Foreign Ministers without presence of Argentina as long as present regime remained in control, but would not oppose Padilla's continuing his consultations; Padilla believes two points must be emphasized: (1) fulfilling of Argentine commitments not yet complied with and (2) the calling of a free elections in Argentina; Padilla believes it would be helpful if State Department sends telegrams to all its Chiefs of Mission in American republics stating U.S. acceptance of central points of Mexican memorandum with instructions to so inform the respective Foreign offices.
