[Received July 26—1:55 p.m.]
Military authorities as result of public insult offered me in street by uniformed armed Fascist in company with others have broadcast [Page 645] public apology following vigorous protest. Representatives of republics regarded by Fascists and certain of military as enemies in the same class as Communist extremists. Feel more secure as result of incident and apology. Conduct Vice Consul Stewart and staff admirable. Situation tense but believe military willing and able at present to protect us and our families.
