LyO-British Consulate,

Punta Arenas, Chile.

28th March, 1940.

Sir,

I have the honour to report that with

reference to the attached, Senor Fazio has not

called here for any visa or information regarding

his proposed trip to the Falkland Islands.

However, he may have obtained this in Buenos

Aires or elsewhere* He has stated in Punta

Arenas that he is going to the Falkland Islands.

2v As he is known to be very anti British

and mixes a lot with Germans, it is suggested that

he be closely watched all the time he is in the

Falklands Islands-.

3. The paper **E1 Pampero1* is said to be pro-

Nazi, supported by German funds and very anti-

British.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient Servant,-clAj-
