The Ambassador in Turkey (MacMurray) to the Secretary of State

Ankara, April 19, 1939—4 p.m.
[Received April 19—3:41 p.m.]

48. Supplementing my telegram No. 14, April 11, 10 a.m. from Istanbul. Although I am still unable to obtain confirmation, I have reason to believe that Turkey has decided to hold in abeyance the question of annexation of the Hatay, primarily in order to avoid the appearance of aggressiveness at this juncture.

MacMurray
