The Chargé in Spain ( Blair ) to the Secretary of State
[Received 8:30 p.m.]
29. French Ambassador informs me that Franco-Spanish Tangier negotiations have been settled on the following basis: Spanish chief [Page 368] of police with control of a five kilometers zone around Tangier to prevent smuggling of contraband or anti-Spanish propaganda in Morocco, the Mendoub being instructed to cooperate. From other sources I am informed that France and England have agreed with Spain to the calling of a conference in the near future at Malaga to which Italy is to be asked for the purpose of determining the extent of the Italian participation in the Tangier administration.
Have repeated to London, Paris, Tangier and Rome.
