853B.20/48: Telegram
The Minister in Portugal ( Fish ) to the Secretary of State
[Received April 7—9:35 p.m.]
295. Department’s telegrams 319, March 31, 9 p.m. and 326, April 1, 2 [10] p.m. I at once sent notes to the Foreign Minister in the sense of those telegraphic instructions and requested an appointment with Sampayo20 in order to take up matter orally. He had left for the country to be gone over Good Friday and Easter. I have repeated my request but the Foreign Office has not yet fixed an appointment.
The British inform me they have sent to the Foreign Office a note along the lines of the Department’s telegram No. 319.
I shall not fail to telegraph further as soon as I have seen the Secretary General.
- Teixeira de Sampayo, Portuguese Secretary General for Foreign Affairs.↩
