The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Spain (Hammond)
[Paraphrase]
Washington, December 8,
1928—3 p.m.
68. Your 100, December 6, 10 a.m. Your failure to inform the Department of the French Ambassador’s action on November 30 at Madrid and also to consult the Department before sending your note dated December 4 to the Spanish Government is surprising.
The Department and oil companies are in consultation. The situation created by your note will be dealt with in further instructions early next week.
