The Secretary of State to the Consul at Arica (Von Tresckow)

[Paraphrase]

For Lassiter. Resolution which you have offered has aroused very bitter feeling in Chilean Embassy here. They feel that it is unwarranted public indictment of Chile and that honor will require her to break off negotiations and possibly to break off relations with the United States. If Chilean Commissioner proposes any possible solution or any compromise arrangement by which passage of resolution would be avoided, please try to adjourn action and cable us immediately.
