Papers Relating to the Foreign Relations of the United States, With the Annual Message of the President Transmitted to Congress December 6, 1904

Mr. Hay to Mr. Hale.

Department of State,
Washington, October 19, 1904.

No. 111.]

Sir: I confirm the Department’s telegram to you of the 13th instant.

I inclose herewith original papers which the Red Star Line, through its counsel, Mr. S. C. Neale, has submitted to the Department.^a They appear to make out a prima facie showing of discrimination against the Red Star Line in favor of the Cunard Line by the Hungarian authorities, and the Department feels justified in instructing you to use your good offices in behalf of the American interests discriminated against to obtain proper relief for them.

I am, etc.,

John Hay.
