The Secretary of State to the Minister Resident in Ethiopia (Engert)
133. Department’s 122, April 8, 5 p.m.27 Ambassador at Borne reports that he has brought to attention of Italian authorities institutions described in first paragraph of above-mentioned telegram and furnished list of places at which they are located.
He considered it undesirable, however, again to bring up the question of bombing of Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa since the assurances given last October on that subject may be considered to stand. Press reports indicate that British Ambassador requested and received from Italian authorities assurances that those two cities would not be subject to bombing.
