The message expreases the belief that Spain’a sense of honor will avert srup- ture of the friendly relations existing be- tween the two nations. It counsels peace but so far as it relates to the criti- cal situation with Spain is firm and dig- niBed and‘ is’ free from’ language that might incite undue feeling from Spain against the attitude, of the United States.

While the message in itself does not indicate the attitude of the president, his policy as outlined is to follow this message with one on Tuesday or Wed- neaday with one asking for an appropri-
