The Ambassador in Spain (Hayes) to the Secretary of State
[Received May 25—1:20 p.m.]
1362. My 1236 May 11, midnight. Foreign Minister told me on own initiative today that he could not give me final answer on American airline matter but he had discussed it in “high circles” and obtained very favorable response. He hoped to transmit formal approval shortly.
Similarly I hope Department will inform me presently that aviation gasoline will be made available. British Embassy has received and commented on suggested conditions submitted by British Government in connection with furnishing this gasoline but I have had nothing from the Department.
