U.S. State Department. Paraphrase of telegram to G.S. Messersmith., 1946 August 20

Gratified to have Messersmith's opinion that Argentine government will comply with its agreement to repatriate enemy aliens and take over enemy property; today's press announces Argentine Senate ratification of Mexico City agreements; cannot expect perfect performance, but while measure of performance in other American republics is pertinent, worst Nazis in Argentina had no counterparts in other American countries; agrees with Messersmith U.S. should not attempt to blueprint precise point of progress to be regarded as adequate performance; Department will refrain from making statements impugning good faith or motives of Argentine government.
