Situation Unparalleled i The present International Com- mittee, meeting here in London, is! in some respect unparalleled in con- | temporary diplomatic history.| Twenty-seven European states are| represented at this secret session. Three States Pondering the | Italy, Germany and Portugal, the, three Fascist States, are. understood | to be pondering a direct protest to| Moscow for its charges that Fascist | aid has been given to the Spanish insurgents and its own threat to help Madrid. . Liar is Hurled Dino Grandi, Italy’s representa-| tive, called the Soviet representative | a liar, regarding the charges and| made a counter charge to the ef-| fect that Russia has already sent| arms to Madrid. | One Delegate Walks Out The delegate at the secret ses- sion from Portugal walked out of the conference, stating that was one | way of refuting the charges his na- tion was aiding the Spanish insur- gents. Germany's delegate flatly denied the Moscow charges but failed to make it clear why German airmen and German planes are so predo- minate in the fighting in Spain. Await on Portugal Meanwhile the conference dele- gates are awaiting Portugal’'s reply to Moscow’s proposal that a com-| mittee be sent to Portugal to probe the assertions that nation is the keyport to Fascist aid in the war| in Spain, that through that coun- | try foreign arms shipments have been made. i Yesterday it was intimated Por-' tugal would not permit any such in- vestigating committee to land with- in its borders. Some sources claim this decision is a distinct avowal of guilt. Lighting dynamite fuses from cigarettes, the Austarian miners have pushed the Fascist to the cen- ter of the long besieged Oviedo. The streets are reported strewn with bodies.
