The Secretary of State to Certain Diplomatic and Consular Missions

WASHINGTON, September 11, 1933 - 6 p.m. For your information and appropriate use in case of conversations oil the Cuban situation: This Government in view of disturbed conditions in Cuba has sent ships to that country solely as a precautionary measure and there is not the slightest intention of intervening or interfering in Cuba's domestic affairs. It is our earliest hope that the Cubans themselves will work out a solution of their own difficulties and that they will be able to form a government capable of maintaining order. We have not, and shall not, attempt to influence the Cubans in any way as to choice of individuals in the government.

The Department has explained its position as set out above to the diplomatic representatives in Washington of the Latin American countries, and the President has himself repeated this to the representatives of Argentina, Brazil, Chile arid Mexico.
