385.1121 Cimador, Guido/20

The American Ambassador in Italy (Long) to the Italian Director General for Political Affairs (Buti)¹⁵

Rome, August 15, 1933.

My Dear Signor Buti: I am enclosing herewith a memorandum¹⁴ concerning a certain Guido Cimador, an American citizen, who was arrested on June 3, 1933, at Prato Carnico, Province of Udine, was found guilty shortly thereafter of subversive activities, and sentenced by the “Commissione per il Confino” to five years “confino”.

While enquiries in regard to the case at the instance of the Department of State have been made locally by the American Consul in Trieste, I, nevertheless, feel that it might be well for the central political authorities here to be apprised of the fact that Guido Cimador is an American citizen, so that he may benefit from extenuating circumstances, if there are any, due to the fact of his American nationality.

I am [etc.]

Breckinridge Long
