127. The Russian Ambassador insisted yesterday that he was sure Germany and Italy intend now to wipe out the Spanish Government as soon as possible. He also repeated fears of Balkan Ministers here that their zone is in grave danger. Confidential reports to me this morning say Germany is already sending troops as well as submarines to help Franco. The Russian repeated the belief of his Government that the United States is the only country that can prevent war, England being hopeless.
