The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Spain (Bowers), Then in France

B–60. I appreciate the timeliness and importance of the information you have been sending in and I am particularly desirous of having the [Page 553] Department fully informed with regard to the developments in the Spanish situation in the immediate future.

In the event of the capture of Madrid by the insurgents, you should send in any information which may come to you regarding the status of and attitude toward other Governments of any Government which purports to be a continuation of the present Government or of any Government which claims to be acting in the name of the Spanish Government in any part of Spain. A similar telegram has been sent to American Embassy, Madrid.
