THREATENS TO ABROGATE NEUTRALITY AGREEMENT
London, Apr. 5.
·The Giornale d'Italia of Rome to-day publishes a list of alleged French violations of the Non-Intervention Pact, which leads to the belief that Italy is likely formally to protest against further departure from the rules of the International Agreement and threaten to abrogate all obligations unless it is respected.
The Giornale charges that on March 1 and March 20, Spanish "Reds" received ten Russian Gorki aircraft, four Dutch Cookhooven fighters, 50 French and 35 Czecho- Slovakian machines.
