710.H Agenda/245
The Acting Secretary of the Navy (Leahy) to the Secretary of State
Sir: Acknowledgment is made of State Department letter of November 25, 1938, file Le, enclosing a copy of a Project of Convention on the Prohibition of Aerial Bombardments to be submitted to the Eighth International Conference of American States by the Delegation of Mexico.
The Navy Department does not object to the general proposal submitted by the Mexican Delegation, but as no military or naval advisers [Page 53] are on the American Delegation, it is recommended that conventions affecting military operations be not considered at the present Conference.
Respectfully,
