The Counselor of Embassy in Spain (Thurston) to the Secretary of State

Valencia, October 12, 1937—midnight.
[Received October 12—5:25 p.m.]

798. Giral informed me today that it has been definitely decided that Monsieur Labonne, the new French Ambassador, will reside at Valencia (or Barcelona should the Government remove to that place). He stated that it would be the cause of great satisfaction to the Spanish Government if other diplomatic representatives accredited before it should do likewise and that this would be especially true of Ambassador Bowers.

Repeated to Ambassador and Paris.
