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

Madrid, November 7, 1924—1 p.m.
[Received 1:35 p.m.]

54. Department’s 44, October 7, 5 p.m. In reply to note October 14, Acting Minister of Foreign Affairs insists that a prorogation of treaty November 5, 1923,15 was the reply of the Spanish Government to the first proposal and that prorogation on May 5th last was the reply of the Spanish Government to Department’s second proposal, neither draft being considered satisfactory.

I should appreciate Department’s sending at once draft of a purely commercial treaty containing irreducible minimum and hope that it can be cabled, as knowing circumstances here I think that the matter should be presented within a few weeks.
