Department’s telegram No. B–203, June 14, 2 p.m. Spanish Consul at Hendaye called July 2nd to discuss question of admission of 500 Basque children, all under 16, into the United States. He has since furnished a letter showing the children are still to be evacuated which doubtless means Basque children from Bilbao now at Santander. I have furnished Consul General outline legal requirements to be met reserving the right to determine each individual case upon its legal merits.
