Britain Works for Armistice in Spain
SIMULTANEOUSLY
HOPES TO SETTLE
SUDETEN PROBLEM
Progress Made in Scheme To End Civil War; But Sudeten Situation Vague
London, June 3.
Great Britain has won the first important move in efforts to arrange an armistice in the Spanish civil war.
Russia has withdrawn her objections to the British plan for the withdrawal of volunteers and has agreed to accept the method of counting volunteers on both sides, plus a division of these foreign forces into four main categories, as well as the restoration of land and sea control on the Spanish frontier.
It is disclosed that Great Britain intends to work actively to arrange the armistice. In addition to seeking a pacific settlement of the Czech-Sudeten German problem, Britain is leaving nothing undone in campaign for peace in Spain. Eventual direct friendly negotiations is her aim.
Germany is reported to be dis- satisfed with the work of the Non-Intervention Cominitlee My Neville Chamberlain is thus planning to extend the scope of the committee's
effect work and to attempt to agreement which will actually terminate the civil war.
