The Ambassador in Spain (Weddell) to the Secretary of State

Madrid, April 20, 1941—2 p.m.
[Received April 21—6:10 a.m.]

340. Department’s 184, April 10, 6 p.m., my 337, April 19, 6 p.m. Further careful weighing of the instruction under reference together with the attitude of the Foreign Minister at yesterday’s conference made me feel that our Government’s attitude should be stressed by me personally to the Chief of State since I am uneasy lest if communicated to him at all, which I incline to doubt, it may be in a diluted or garbled form. Please instruct.
