The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Spain (Moore)
15. Your 21, April 23, 11 A.M.9 Delay in replying to your 16, April 7, 5 p.m. due to necessity for consulting other Departments.
As stated in the Department’s telegram No. 12 of April 4, it is desirable that in any extension of the commercial relationship with Spain the discriminations referred to in that telegram as well as the possibility of further discrimination should be removed and the commerce placed on the basis which existed prior to November 5, 1923. If, however, you find that it will not be possible to effect favorable modification of the existing arrangement endeavor to obtain an extension of it in its present form for a period of one year in order to allow ample time for the conclusion of a treaty of commerce.
