The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Spain ( Willard )

[Telegram]

1639. Supplementing Department’s 1614, September 28, 4 p.m., I desire to say for your personal and strictly confidential information that this Government is not anxious to have Spain enter into a state of war with Germany and considers that little would be gained thereby. You will be guided in your intercourse accordingly.
