These Miajas were landed not in Spain but in France and put up at the Hotel Beauvau in Marseille. They seemed to have no intention of proceeding to Red Spain, a perfectly simple thing to do last week. The Spanish Red Government promptly appointed Son Miaja a Consul to be stationed at Alexandria in Egypt and the news Agence Espagne rang up the Defender of Madrid. "I am entrusted with the defense of Madrid and I must stay at the front!", General Miaja told Agence Espagne. "I blame Fascist propaganda for the reports that I will soon arrive in France...
