The Secretary of State to the Counselor of Embassy in Spain (Thurston)
Washington, June 11, 1937—4
p.m.
343. Your 668, June 10, 4 p.m. Inform Cuban Embassy that in view of the uncertainty of the situation resulting from recent incidents72 we regret that we cannot authorize any of our naval vessels to visit Spanish ports until we can feel reasonably assured that such a visit could be made without undue risk. It is possible therefore that it may be some weeks before we are in a position to comply with the Embassy’s request.
