Lv Director, FBI New York, N. Y. JD: April 1s, Mr. IRALA turned over to Mr. Doyle translations of these letters which are written in Spanish. Copies of the translation of the letter to Dr. LASARTE and of the letter to the other Basque representatives, which is identical in all three instences, were likewise obtained and are enclosed, herewith. fhe letters signed by President AGUIRRE are likewise cnotoued From @ perusal of the contents, the Bureau will note that each Basque representative is being instructed to deal exclusively with the bearer of the letter who will be a Bureau Legal Attache or one of his assistants. This is true in the instances of the letters addressed to the Basque represente- tives in Chile, Peru ami the Dominic: ause of the peculiar Presi otinue his A ‘put to over all maritime information obtained from verious Basque ‘ors to the Office of the Legal Attache. This con- cession was obtained from the Basques by Mr. Doyle on the promise that the fh information would not be disseminated to various American in leben soe af the Bureau representatives in Argentina or in Washington, It will be noted, of course, that President AGUIRRE is instructing Dr. LASARTE to set up an organization giving complete coverage of the economic, political, social and religious circles in Argentina. It will be further noted that Dr. LASARTE is being instructed to perfect an information service of Basques for the use of Bureau representatives in Bolivia, Uruguay end Paraguay. He is likewise being instructed to proceed to Santiago, Chile to assist in the perfecting of the Basque information service in thet country. .f Kr. IRALA understands that the Bureau's representatives in Chile and the ‘ Basques have collaborated in the past but he believes that with the assistance of Dr SARTE, a better and more efficient Basque organization can be realized there. ‘ It is believed that the Bureau should give the Legal Attache's office in Buenos Aires the complete background relative to the instructions to Dr. LASARTE, not only effecting Argentina tut also the neighboring countries of Argentina. Consequently, when Dr. LASARTE or @ representative of his is about to visit one of these countries, the name of the Bureau's representative in that country can be furnished the Basque representative. It is likewise Delieved the Bureau should notify the Bureau's representatives in Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile that\they might expect such a visit from Dr. LASARTE or one of his assistants. The effecting of better liaison between the Bureau's representatives in Santo Domingo, Chile and Peru is hoped to be brought about by the delivery of the attached letters to the Basque representatives in these three countries. ee FEL 6 ¥ 23u4- 2
