          FOR THE AMBASSADOR FROM THE ACTING SECRETARY.     
 
                                                            
 
 
The President has referred to me your telegram no. 1069 of 
      November 26 to him. At the same time the President sent me a 
      copy of the Prime Minister's two telegrams to him nos. 832 and 
      833 of November 26 in regard to the Argentine meat situation. 
      The President is of course sending a reply direct to the Prime 
      Minister to his messages. In the meantime I want you to know 
      how grateful all of us are for the decision of the British Government 
      to continue meat purchases from Argentina on a month to month 
      basis for a further six months period. We are grateful to you 
      for the assistance, which you gave using obtaining this valuable 
      measure of cooperation from the British Government. It is our 
      earnest hope that before the expiration of that six-month period 
      the Argentine situation will have improved and this cancerous 
      growth of fascism will have disappeared from this hemisphere.
