The Secretary of State to the Diplomatic Agent and Consul General at Tangier (Blake)
12. Your 20, August 20, 5 p.m. In view of the facts and opinions reported in your recent telegrams, especially your 23 August 28 6 p.m., the Department considers it unwise to acquiesce in any way in the application of the Dahir of August 17, 1936, at the present time. You should therefore limit your reply to Resident General to an acknowledgment of the receipt of his communication, adding that the matter has been referred to the Department for its consideration.
If and when further events in Spain and North Africa make a revision of the Department’s position advisable, you will be instructed accordingly.
