The Ambassador in Spain ( Armour ) to the Secretary of State
[Received September 5—noon.]
SS33. Pursuant to instructions from their Govts, British Ambassador and French delegate have today presented joint notes conveying to Spanish Govt results of Tangier conversations. In absence of Foreign Minister notes were handed to Political Director Doussinague who was advised orally that Spanish Govt’s reply will be expected not later than Sept 12. Doussinague stated that notes would be duly studied but took occasion to reiterate his Govt’s reservations with regard to decisions taken “behind its back”, (my telegram SS 17, Aug 18).
Rptd to Paris. By courier to Tangier and Madrid.
