[Received September 30—7:02 p.m.]
258. My telegram 253, September 29, 7 p.m.94 The Council today appointed a committee consisting of the delegates of France, Great Britain and Iran to carry out the appointment and despatch of a small commission to observe and report on the withdrawal of non-Spanish combatants from Government Spain and authorized an expenditure of 250,000 Swiss francs for the purpose. A report on this subject adopted by the Council was designed to safeguard the position of the London Non-intervention Committee. Bolivia and Peru abstained. Upon the suggestion of the British delegate the Council agreed that if a similar demand was received from the other side in Spain it would welcome it in the same spirit.
