The Spanish Republican Government is prepared to accept the proposal by the British Government to send a British Commission to investigate the bombing of open towns, learns Reuters Diplomatic correspondent. A reply to this effect is expected shortly.
Meanwhile, General Francisco Franco is understood to have accepted the proposal, on conditions which are presently being studied in London.
