[Telegram]

German submarine now at Cadiz is UC–52. British Vice Consul, Cadiz, has suggested to his Ambassador that he should apply for [Page 1290] internment submarine on the grounds that submarine should not have the same privileges as a man-of-war and Spanish neutral port should not be used as base of supplies for such. Suggests advisability of all the Allied Ambassadors making same request for great effect on Spanish authorities. Have communicated with Ambassador.
