SABOTAGING A GOOD NEIGHBOR ‘Phe diplomatic files of the State Department tell a revealing story !Lhe State Department sent an 18- page confidential memeorandum to ‘the Chilean government citing names of Axis agents ia Chile, dates of their communications with agents in other countries, and in many cases the texts of their mes- sages. Chile contended prior to June 30, and since, that Axis agents in Chile | could have nothing to do with ships |sunk in the Caribbean. However, | the detailed memorandum of the State Department cited chapter and verse regarding ships nk, and in- formation about their sailing dates, | all sent by Axis agents. This memo was transmitted to the Chilean Foreign Minister, Bar- ros Jarpa, but nothing happened. Whether or not he transmitted it to President Rios it not known. Approximately one month later, |the State Department transmitted ! more conclusive evidence concerning activities of Axis agents in Chile. But there were no Chilean moves to stop them. Meanwhile, Ambassador Michels in Washington, genuine friend of the United States, flew to Santiago and arranged for President Rios to visit at the White House . It was proposed by Ambassador Michels that after President Rios had come to Washington and talked with President Roosevelt, Chile would break relations with the Axis, thus forcing Axis agents out of the country. FBI REJECTED However, espionage activity con- tinued. Also it leaked out that | Chilean President Rios probably would not break relations after all, would merely come to Washington, go home, then wait two or three months before breaking. | This would have aroused resent- ment on the part of other Good Neighbors, such as Brazil, New Mex- | {ico and Cuba, already in the war up /to the hilt, and resentful of U. 8.| | favors to a neutral nation. Meanwhile, Chile vetoed a pro- posal to permit J. Bdgar Hoover's ‘crack G-Men to come to Chile and | ferret out Nazi agents. So with the | less Chile was ready to Kick out the | Axis, it would be better for Presi- dent Rios not to come. | It is still hoped that he will make the trip, but probably not until after some of the pro-Axis advisers around | him have resigned.
