The Third Secretary of Embassy in Spain (Wendelin) to the Acting Secretary of State
[Received November 14—10:10 a.m.]
X–311. My telegram No. X–297, November 9, noon. British Chargé d’Affaires informed me this afternoon that he was contemplating requesting his Government to communicate informally to rebel authorities request that safety zone announced by them in Madrid be extended slightly to the west of Castellana Avenue to include area in which are located British, American and several other diplomatic missions. He asked my opinion in this regard and we agreed that the effort was worth while even though no concrete assurances may be obtained.
