Vichy (PRESIDENT LAVAL)
July 1944

Two part message complete.
In case Your Excellency may not yet be correctly informed about the motives for the serious political disagreement which has just arisen between Washington and Buenos Aires - motives about which the press seems to keep silent for the time being - I hasten to convey to Your Excellency what I hear from the Argentine Chargé d'Affaires in Madrid.
The beginning of the incident is due to a certain speech of General PERSON, in which the promotor of last February's "coup d'état", speaking in favor of a necessary and rapid re-equipment of Argentina, is said to have made an ungracious allusion to "the great nations which attempt to arrogate to themselves the leadership of entire continents".
A refusal by the Minister to retract or explain is supposed to have led to the recall of the Ambassador of the United States to Buenos Aires; he had been kept there as de facto representative after the suspension of diplomatic relations which occurred at the time of the change of government.
This act, they tell me, will possibly be followed reciprocally very soon by the recall of Mr. ESCOBAR, who, they say, has done rather little to allay the strife.
