The Acting Secretary of War (MacNider) to the Secretary of State
My Dear Mr. Secretary: Reference is made to the policy of the War Department concerning the sale of Liberty Aviation engines abroad, as set forth in the letter from the Assistant Secretary of War (Mr. Davison), to the Chief of Air Corps, dated August 11, 1927, a copy of which is enclosed.84
For his information in taking action upon applications for the purchase of Liberty engines for sale abroad in lots of less than fifty (50), the Chief of Air Corps has requested that he be furnished a list of those countries with which the United States is not on satisfactory diplomatic relations.
For the purpose indicated, it is requested that this Department be furnished a list of those countries to which, in the opinion of the State Department, there is objection to having aviation engines exported.
Sincerely yours,
