The Secretary of State to the Consul at Bilbao (Chapman), on Board the U. S. S. “Kane”
Washington, July 9, 1937.
Your July 7, 9 p.m. We fail to understand how subject of Basque children arose in your conversation with Aguirre. Since discussion of this subject may give rise to unjustified hopes as to their admission into the United States, we feel that such discussion should always be avoided as much as possible.
