The Chargé at Tangier (Childs) to the Secretary of State
[Received January 13, 1942.]
Sir: I have the honor to refer to the Legation’s despatch no. 468 of December 3, 1941 which transmitted copy of a note to the Spanish Consul in Tangier complaining of the excessive delays in the issuance by the Spanish Consulate at Casablanca of visas for American ressortissants who desired to proceed from French Morocco to Tangier in transit through the Spanish Zone.
The Department will be pleased to note from the enclosed copy of a communication just received from my Spanish colleague,44 that proper attention now appears to have been given to the Legation’s complaint, the Spanish Consul at Casablanca having been instructed telegraphically from the High Commissariat at Tetuán to grant the visas in question. It is therefore hoped that the suggested intervention in the matter, of the Embassy in Madrid, will not now be necessary.
Respectfully yours,
