SPANISH BLOCKADE COMPROMISE SEEN British May Ask Nations for Neutral Observers in All Ports. By the Associated Press. LONDON, July 6.—Foreign Secre- tary Anthony Eden indicated to the House of Commons today & possible compromise in Europe's Spanish neu- trality deadlock, saying the British will consider “any other proposals which are just and fair.” The deadlock finds Britain and France on one side and Germany and Italy on the other, unable to agree on methods for continuing future at- tempts to isolate Spain’s year-old civil war. The newest international repercus- sion of that conflict today found Brit- ish warships standing alongside a British freighter, near Santander, Spain, to protect her from capture by 8 Spanish insurgent blockade ship. Committee to Meet Friday. Eden, speaking to the house, said o full session of the 27-member Non- Intervention Committee was to be held Friday and that this should allow “a little time for reflection on the serious issues involved.” This was taken to mean that Germany and Italy might “reflect” with a view to modifying their present demands. At the same time British ministers, faced with a possible rupture of the whole “hands-off-Spain” structure as & result of the present deadlock, were beligved to have settled on the new formula at a late meeting last night. Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden re- viewed the impasse for them in Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain’s private roomg in the House of Commons. ‘Would Abandon Both Demands. The new compromise, result of de- termined British efforts to breathe life into the moribund 27-nation Non- Intervention Committee, is based on abandonment of both the Franco- British demands for continuation of the naval patrol and the Italo-Ger- man proposal to grant belligerent rights to both Spanish government and insurgents. Instead, neutral observers would be posted in all Spanish ports to in- spect incoming ships and report back to the committee any violations of the agreement not to send arms or troops to aid either side in the struz- gle which, time and again, has threat- ened to explode into general Euro- pean war. These observers would carry out the purpose originally assigned the four-power naval patrol. This was wrecked when Italy and Germany withdrew their warships on the grounds they had been attacked by the Valencia government forces, Britain and France offered to as- sume the entire patrol, but that was rejected by Italy and Germany, who still retained their membership in the committee. The two Fascist powers | countered with their proposal to con- fer belligerent rights. If diplomatic contacts show such 8 plan would be looked on with favor Britain and France may present it to the Non-intervention Committee when 1t meets, probably Thursday or Fri- day, for & final answer from Germany | and Italy on the Franco-British pa- trol plan. Improved Relations Seen. Generalissimo Francisco Franco's | assurance that British iron ore ship- | ments from insurgent-captured Bilbao | could be resumed was greeted by dip- | lomats as a sign of improving rela- | tions between the British government and Franco and also as & possible in- dication the insurgent leader may not want to rely exclusively on the eco- nomic support of Germany and Italy. | Britain had feared the output of | the rich Bilbao mining region, one- third of which formerly went to| England, might be diverted to Italy | and Germany. Franco was sald yes- | terday, however, to have given verbal | approval to resumption of iron-ore | shipments to Britain from the Orcon- era properties, the largest British- owned company in the region. Well-informed circles here dis- | counted repeated rumors Premier Paul | van Zeeland of Belgium had been dratted by Britain and France to lay & new non-intervention scheme be- | fore the committee, but French | sources insisted the text of such a | plan was already being drawn up by the British foreign office. ARMS RACE TRIUMPH | SEEN BY BINGHAM Ambassador Slaps Dictators in Saying U. S. and Britain to Win. BY the Associated Press. LONDON, July 6—Britain and America will win the world rearma- ment race, United States Ambassador Robert W. Bingham declared last night, although they entered it re- luctantly. “If dictatorships are better to pre- pare for war, democracies are better to finish wars,” Bingham said in an address to the American Society in London’s Independence day dinner. “Despots have forced America and Britain to undertake rearmament, and, having undertaken it, we must neces- sarily win the rearmament race. “May we hope that this eealization may eome to warmongers in time and before another catastrophe occurs, so terrible and ghestly that imagination tecolls.” 10,000 See Television.
