THE WHITE HOUSE
U.S. URGENT
THE RIGHT HONORABLE
WINSTON S. CHURCHILL, M.P.
PRIME MINISTER, LONDON
Early in October you were good enough to agree to defer for
a while the signature of meat contract with the Farrell regime
in Argentina. Your refusal to sign a contract has helped us tremendously.
It has increased the uncertainty, which has driven the Colonels
to a desperate condition.
We believe that if our tactics can be continued, we have a very
good chance of putting an end within a reasonable time to a Fascist
regime that otherwise would be a threat to the peace and security
of this continent for many years to come.
I have been concerned to hear recent reports that you may
shortly take up the matter of the Argentine meat contract with
us again.
It is my strong personal conviction that if you sign a meat
contract with the Farrell regime the consequences will be disastrous
and much farther reaching than we have been able to make some
of your people understand. Such action would be propagandized
by the Argentine regime to demonstrate
