The Ambassador in Spain (Hayes) to the Secretary of State
[Received 8:32 p.m.]
2082. My despatch 1144, July 29,54 and my 2035, August 5, 1 p.m. Foreign Office has informed me in writing: (1) Iberia now entirely Spanish-owned and, (2) it will not transport Axis nationals to Morocco. Under circumstances I am omitting these two points from the further conditions I am presenting to Spanish Government for supply of aviation gasoline. I am also omitting for purpose of simplification and in order to lessen delay any reference to landing rights for American and British airlines in Spain although I am submitting note requesting such rights for American airlines at same time I present remaining conditions for furnishing aviation gasoline.
