BRITAIN ASKED TO MEDIATE
POLITICAL ACTIVITY BY GERMAN MINORITY IN CZECHOSLOVAKIA
(SPECIAL TO THE "CHINA-MAIL”)
LONDON, TO-DAY.
CONSIDERABLE INTEREST HAS BEEN AROUSED IN LONDON BY THE VISIT TO ENGLAND OF HERR HEINRICH RUTHA, THE CHIEF LIEUTENANT OF THE LEADER OF THE BIGGEST -GERMAN MINORITY PARTY
IN
CZECHO-
SLOVAKIA.
According to the diplomatic cor- respondent of the Daily Telegraph," Britain has been approached regard- ing the question of the German min- ority group in Czecho-Slovakia, and has been asked to act as mediator between the Party and the Govern- ment
Britain, the correspondent alleges, urged the Czech Government to seek closer co-operation with the German minority, and lately there has been some response.
The Government advances, he con- tinues, have been made to three small minority groups, representing only 118 per cent, of the population.

NAVAL ACTION OFF
SPANISH COASTA
(SPECIAL TO THE “CHINA MAIL”).
LONDON, TO-DAY..
A PREDICTION THAT WHAT WILL BE THE FIRST MAJOR NAVAL ENGAGEMENT IN THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR IS LIKELY TO TAKE PLACE AT ANY MOMENT NOW, IS MADE AS A RESULT OF TELEGRAMS FROM GIBRALTAR.
The telegrams reveal that the en-1 tire loyalist fleet has steamed out of Cartagena harbour for an un- known destination.
Nothing is known of the „înten-: tions of the commander but it is believed that an attempt is to be made to halt the advance of the re- bel troops from Malaga to Almeria by a fleet action.
