The Vice Consul at Barcelona (Flood) to the Secretary of State
[Received July 1—10:14 a.m. ]
Evacuation of American volunteers. French Consul General informs me that financial requirements recently imposed by his Government on all foreigners passing through France from Spain can be waived if American Consulate at Marseille, acting on behalf of interested organizations, can give assurances that their travelling and maintenance will be met. In such event French Consul General will arrange with prefecture of police at Perpignan (which is in the Marseille consular district) for their transportation.
All cases could be handled directly between American Consulate at Marseille and prefecture at Perpignan. Despatch follows.78
Repeated to Marseille and Paris.
