The Acting Secretary of State to the Secretary of State
Washington, December 5, 1933—2
p.m.
38. The President said today to say to you that in the event other Latin American nations desire to recognize the present Cuban authorities, we should not attempt to block them; that meanwhile, we should stand by the policy set forth in his Warm Springs statement but should be prepared to consider developments in order to determine whether the situation at any future time fulfills the criteria of recognition maintained in that statement.
