614. Department’s 211, September 3, 8 p.m.40 I assume that incident of the bombing of the President Hoover may be considered closed with the note of the Minister for Foreign Affairs transmitted in my 598 of September 4, 3 p.m. except for damages and I shall await [Page 481] Department’s instructions in regard to this. Damages should, I suppose, include solatium for injury and loss of life.
