The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Brazil (Caffery)

Washington, October 30, 1943—2 p.m.

4054. Department refers to your telegrams numbered 4912, 4913 and 4914 and dated the 19th of October, 1943.⁶⁵ After full consideration, Department feels that it should endeavor to obtain equal treatment for all United States airlines and does not feel that Pan American Airways’ insistence that these installations, including accessory facilities, shall be for exclusive use of Pan American Airways and Panair do Brasil can be justified in view of the fact that these installations were constructed with United States public funds.

Draft aide-mémoire⁶⁶ is being forwarded today by air mail.
