681.003/102: Telegram
The Ambassador in Spain (Bowers) to the Secretary of State
[Received December 20—1:05 p.m.]
90. Department’s telegram No. 65, December 15, 2 p.m. received yesterday. Should “formal protest” first paragraph be both oral and written? Action will be taken on this paragraph on the receipt of reply to above question.
Should many complicated questions in other paragraphs be taken up orally or in writing? In either case request that Blake be ordered to Madrid either now or immediately after Christmas as I consider his specialized and detailed knowledge necessary for negotiations. Before replying please see my despatch 597 December 7.47
