The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Kennedy) to the Secretary of State
[Received June 14.]
Sir: With reference to the Embassy’s despatch No. 449 of June 1, 1938, and previous correspondence concerning non-intervention, I have the honor to report that the Chairman’s sub-committee met on June 2. According to the communiqué issued, the Soviet Chargé d’Affaires announced that his Government accepted the method of counting the volunteers in Spain in four main categories. He also accepted a limited control of the land frontiers, provided that such control should automatically lapse if no progress in withdrawal of volunteers is made, and provided also that non-intervention observers are stationed at the ports.
Respectfully yours,
Counselor of Embassy
