The Ambassador in Brazil (Caffery) to the Secretary of State
[Received April 27.]
Sir: Referring to my recent reports having to do with requests made to the Air Ministry by Admiral Beauregard on behalf of Admiral Ingram, I have the honor to report that I brought to President Vargas’ attention the fact that the Air Ministry was not being very cooperative with Admiral Beauregard. The President took the matter up with the Minister of Air and sent me word by his confidential secretary that he had instructed Minister Salgado to revise his attitude to Admiral Beauregard and to adopt a more cooperative attitude.
Personal pique on the part of some of the members of the Air Minister’s “Gabinete” had brought about this situation; not any fault of Admiral Beauregard’s.
Respectfully yours,
