The Chargé in France (Wilson) to the Secretary of State

452. Your 160, April 5, 7 p.m. Consul George now at Toulouse advises that he is forwarding directly to the Department names and passport data of arrested volunteers. He states that they are apparently in possession of funds and question of maintenance and return passage has not arisen. He believes case will be heard this week and that very possibly expulsion orders will be issued in lieu of jail sentences. George states that he has made it clear to all authorities concerned that these persons were proceeding to Spain in violation of our Government stipulations.
