"London, July 5. Anxiety Tegarding the future of Non-Intervention in Spain was reflected in Commons when a large number of questions on the subject were addressed to the Foreign 80- cretary, Mr. Anthony Eden. He made a composite reply to several of these and reviewed the present situation in reference to which there has been no important deve lopments during the week-end. He

The position of non-intervention powers on the sea must be re- medied as soon as possible, Mr. Eden agreed. As far as he was aware, he went on, there were no German warships now in the Mediterranean.
