Scope and Content

Alexander Werth to Gordon Phillips.

Location: Paris.

He proposes to take his holiday from 23 to 29 December; Gillie will deputise. He might visit London or Manchester on his days off in the first week in January. The Lisbon story regarding the Germans in Spain came from Geoffrey Moss. He is hoping to see Blum; it can be better when he is talking informally than in a formal interview. He also hopes to see Spinasse, the Minister for Economic Affairs. Does he want an interview about France's economic prospects?
