Memorandum of Conference by the Secretary of State With the Press on October 3, 1930
A correspondent stated he had been away for a few days with the President and asked if he could be enlightened on the Cuban situation. The Secretary referred the correspondent to the statement made the previous day. Mr. Stimson answered in the affirmative the enquiry of a correspondent whether there might be an objection to the use of the Secretary’s name in connection with the statement. A correspondent pointed out that the morning newspapers had already attributed the statement to the Secretary. Mr. Stimson replied that the statement made by him had been intended entirely for background purposes with two exceptions which had been specifically indicated.
