that entire interesting procedure is being set forth, with chronological transcription of all documents from which can be gathered the authentic facts of the matter. 38. The Ambassador must attempt with particular care to take full advantage of these favorable circumstances by means of a well considered policy of mutual understanding and with the patriotic purpose of obtaining, in the exercise of his diplomatic functions, benefits of a practical nature aside from the strengthening of relations existing between the two countries. 39. The unprecedented opportunity in the history of our relations with the Argentine Republic which is presented to Ecuador to establish upon a. firm basis a policy of fullest cooperation with that country in all types of activities, constitutes the starting point for the development of DR. ILLESCAS' mission and at the same time gives an indication of the of his responsibility in the fulfillment of his functions as viewed from the high plane of inter- national interests. 40. It is, therefore, indispensable for the Ambassador and his assistants to seek from the very first the closest bonds with the various sectors of opinion, official as well as political, military, commercial and financial, intellectual and social groups, as much to interpret the tendencies of the Argentine Government and people with respect to the problems of domestic government, and those which have to do with Argentine international relations in the post-war period, as to carry out at the same time an adequate, consistent, and efficacious line of propaganda in favor of Ecuador in order to broaden knowledge of this country in the consolidation of its prestige abroad. 41. As to the variations of its international politics Argentina presents an interesting picture, since as a result of the revolutionary movement of June 1, 1943, a de facto military government came to power which has followed its initial course notwithstanding the change of the chief of state. 42. The concept of isolation within America which President CASTILLO imposed upon Argentine foreign policy and which isolation succeeding regimes have maintained essentially unchanged, constitutes in itself a specific source for the investigation of the basis of a conduct which has been widely discussed on the continent and elsewhere. 43. The investigation and cognizance of the fundamental motives of Argentine internal and international policy, besides contributing to the further orientation of the Ambassador's diplomatic activities will also provide necessary material for the continuance of the Embassy's informative work in Buenos Aires upon those aspects which, because of their extreme importance, intensely interest the Foreign Office.
