Messersmith, G.S., Havana. To Sumner Welles, Washington., 1940 June 05

Hopes Welles will have opportunity to read despatch No. 369 of June 3; doesn't wish to appear too pessimistic; even if Germany wins over France and England, it doesn't mean she wins war in the end; American people should be made aware of what they must face; up to U.S. to prevent Germany gaining foothold in Western Hemisphere.
