710.H Continental Solidarity/92: Telegram

The Acting Secretary of State to the Chairman of the American Delegation (Hull)

84. Your 47, December 20, noon.

The text quoted in your telegram under reference would seem to me to be a singularly satisfactory solution. The use of the word “extrana” in the second paragraph will in my opinion unquestionably imply extra-continental. I hope it is not premature to offer my heartiest congratulation on what would appear to be a thoroughly satisfactory ending of a protracted discussion.

I received yesterday a personal message from the Cuban Ambassador expressing his great disappointment that the Cuban resolution on tolerance was being blocked. It would seem to me that the adoption of this resolution would have a singularly happy effect in many quarters.
