Chile September 24, 1945 My dear Mr. Bowers: I certainly appreciated most highly your good letter of the thirteenth, regarding the maneuvers of the Franco in Spain. It was very helpful to me to have the informa- tion which your letter contained. I have been of the opinion all along that there was a lot of maneuvering taking place with regard to the Franco machine in Spain. The Potsdam Conference, as you know, denounced him and, I think, he is on the way out but I don't see any reason to let a worse regine take over, if we can help it. Any further observation: on this subject that you care to make to me will be highly appreciated. Sincerely yours, HARRY S. TRUMAN ARCHIVES INATIONAL RECORDS AND to SERVICE Honorable Claude G. Bowers The American Ambassador Santiago, Chile
