The Acting Secretary of State to the Ambassador in Spain ( Hayes )
A–585. The Department would like to receive from the Embassy such information as may be available concerning the present Spanish attitude toward Spain’s future position in Tangier. In this connection [Page 556] reference is made to telegrams no. 312 of October 19 and 313 of October 21 from the Legation at Tangier. Since the latter telegram appears not to have been repeated to Madrid the Embassy will doubtless wish to ask Tangier for the text. Is it the opinion of the Embassy that the withdrawal of Spanish regiments has any association with this question, as suggested by the Legation?
