664. From Madrid Embassy, November 27:

Consul General Barcelona informs me importation of cotton to Spain from the United States seriously interfered with owing to British censorship of cable messages intelligibly worded and in clear English referring to transaction in purchase of cotton. He requests relief on behalf of Spanish importers from censorship interference with such messages.
