Nationalist Leader Writes Complaints to Lord Halifax Burgos, Dec. 24.
The Nationalist Press Bureau here published a special communique today upon the affair of the secret documents discovered in a British consuler bag carried by the Vice-Consul at San Sebastian, Mr. Goodman, a few days ago.
Mr. Goodman's consular bags were for long utilized by the. "Red" espionage system, the Bureau asserted. Only "a judicial inquiry will determine whether such activities were possible without the complicity of any British official."
Senor Jimenez Arau, head of this Bureau, wrote a letter to Lord Halifax, British Foreign Secretary, complaining over the attitude adopt-led by British newspapers which declare the whole affair to be nothing but a manœuvre aiming to hide* alleged "terrible events" in Spain.
He is said to have informed Lora Halifax that among the effects in the consular bag that contained the Secret documents were "military papers and money destined to inform and pay respectively spies Who used extraordinary means in carrying out their assignments"—Havas,
