Ap 25 Tuesday

Met 2 Spaniards – & had drinks. One Portela prefect of a province, Noguera the other ex-manager of the Tobacco Control1. Expect2 to be back in Spain before long. Blame Govt [Government] defeat on Communist insistence of only buying arms from Russia.
Visited engine-room – unfortunately some of the party were interested in machinery so had to spend ¼ hour there.
