639. It has been suggested to me by Spanish acquaintances that the governmental crisis just passed was officially inspired in order to bring into existence a government sufficiently free from extreme radicalism to make possible a policy of support on the part of Great Britain. This support might be positive or merely along the lines of mediation reported in my 624 of May 12.
