United States insists Azores Cape Verde stay in friendly hands
In Washington on July 14, acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles stressed the United States will not seek to alter Portuguese sovereignty over the Azores and Cape Verde but commitments to a friendly hands policy may not bind Washington to nonaction in all cases. He linked this to Roosevelt’s messages about Iceland and the need to keep Atlantic outposts from being used as bases for attacks against the Western Hemisphere. Portuguese minister Dibianchi said Portugal had assurances the U S would not seize the islands, while noting precautions against any seizure attempt.
