The Acting Secretary of State to the Chairman of the American Delegation to the Seventh International Conference of American States (Hull)36
15. The Spanish Chargé d’Affaires, under instructions, inquired yesterday whether there would be any objection on our part to the presence of a Spanish observer at the Montevideo Conference.
In reply I referred him to the regulations limiting Pan American Conferences to representatives of Latin American States, etc., and said that, personally in the circumstances, I did not feel that it was proper for the United States to take any individual position in the matter. I added that, inasmuch as you are about to arrive at Montevideo, his Government would naturally desire to approach you direct, should they care to pursue the inquiry any further.
