London, Oct. 27.
Russia will be blamed for the collapse of the International Non- Intervention Committee's efforts to prevent interference in the Spanish civil war, diplomats believed to-day, as delegates reassembled for to-morrow's meeting.
It is reported that virtually the entire Committee will be influenced by Portugal's charges that Russia is directing the Madrid Government and seeking to instigate a "Red" revolution in Portugal in order to provoke a Spanish-Portuguese war.

BRITISH SAILORS: REPARATIONS SOUGHT
London, Oct. 27.
As reported in the noon transmission of British Wireless Press, Vice Admiral Sir Charles Little, Com- mander-in-Chief, China Station, has postponed arrange- ments made for a visit to Japanese waters. ·
On October 7 an incident occurred at Keelung, in Formos, in which three British naval ratings were sub, jected to ill-treatment by Japanese police.
The facts of the incident were as follows:
A dispute occurred regarding payment of 源 taxicab fare, although there is good evidence to show the fare had, in fact, been paid. As # result of the altercation three British sailors were taken to a police station, While under detention they were injured, one of them having his jaw fractured.
