The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Bingham) to the Secretary of State

London, August 15, 1936—3 p.m.
[Received August 15—9:25 a.m.]

401. I am reliably informed that a press report that the British Government is appealing to British firms and private owners to refrain from sending civil planes to either side in Spain is accurate and that an announcement on the subject probably will be given to the press this afternoon.
