The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Spain (Bowers), Then in France
Washington, November 22, 1937—6
p.m.
B–384. Your 398, November 20, 1 p.m. We are not, of course, prepared to accept a representative of General Franco as an “ambassador” or “diplomatic agent”. We feel that the continued presence of our consular officers in territory under the control of General Franco is so obviously in the interest of all concerned that we assume no question will be raised about it.
