Another European crisis which seriously, threatened the peace of the Continent loomed as diplomatic circles seethed with excite- ment last mouth over the ultimatum of Maxim Litrinoff, Eussian Foreign Minister, that the Soviet State would abrogate the pact for non-intervention in the Spanish revolution and act as it www fit unless the violations by Portugal, Italy and Germany were im. mediately halted. It was feared that Russia might ruch its mighty Soviet air armada, to the aid of the Spanish Socialist-Cosamoniat Government unless the aid allegedly given the rebel forces by the Fascist nations was stopped. Observers feared that the conditions might precipitate an outbreak of world-wide proportions.

POLITICAL SENSATION
IN ENGLAND
London, To-day.
A sensation has been causedă în political circles by the refusal of the two Welsh Labour Members of the House of Commons, Mr. Aneurin Bevan (Ebbw Vale) and Mr. W. H Mainwaring (E. Rhondda), to be present to meet His Majesty the King when he visits South Wales this week.
Mr. Bevan, writing to the Minis- ter of Mines, Captain E. F. C Crookshank, in reply to his in- vitation to be present in his con- stituency during the King's tour, declined on the grounds that there? are pressing problems and suffer- ing in South Wales for which the Ministers are responsible. While paying a tribute to the King's sympathy with the unemployed Mr. Bevan regrets that such sym- pathy should be used to conceal not only the negligence of his] Ministers but their active per- secution of the poor.
Mr. Mainwaring has written re- fusing to participate in the tour
