GRAVE ANXIETY -
The Foreign Secretary, Mr. Eden, and Lord Plymouth to-day met a deputation of the Trades Union Congress who conveyed to the Ministers the resolution passed at the recent International Confer- ence in London. They expressed the grave anxiety felt in the operation of effective control in connection with the Non-Interven- tion Agreement. The present ar- rangements, in their view, were operating greatly to the detriment of the Spanish Government, as was evidenced by reports of the con- tinued landing of Italian and Ger- man troops in Spain. The de- bgputation urged that decisive steps

Mr. Eden said that, in his view, the essential thing was to bring into effective operation the super-
