[Received September 17—10:47 a.m.]

52. I have transmitted the contents of the Department’s telegram No. 35, September 11, 5 p.m., to the Austrian Government which has replied that it would be more than pleased if the Department’s instruction of July 26th to our Chargé d’Affaires in Madrid be permitted to stand. The Austrian Government adds that it fully appreciates the limitations imposed by the situation upon what we can do for Austrian nationals in Spain. Full report by mail.42
