The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in France (Bullitt)
260. For use in connection with certain proposed legislation now pending which has as its objective the repeal or modification of existing statutes prohibiting shipment of arms, ammunition and implements of war from this country to Spain, we would like to have a telegraphic report on an alleged decision by France (as reported in today’s press) to reimpose international control along the Franco-Spanish frontier to prevent the passage of men or materials into Spain as soon as two commissions arrive to supervise withdrawal of foreign volunteers in the fighting forces. Also any other facts pertaining to the present and prospective operation of the [Non-]Intervention organization of 26 nations.
