The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Spain (Hammond)
94. Your 116, November 17, 5 p.m.24 and 120 November 18, 5 p.m. The Department believes that the representations made by you in [Page 695] accordance with its 85, November 8, 3 p.m., adequately reserve the position of this Government as regards compensation for expropriated American companies. It will therefore await developments in such specific expropriation proceedings involving American companies as may arise rather than attempt at this time to discuss the matter further with the Spanish Government on the present hypothetical basis.
