May Ask Insurgent Chief To Reconsider Attitude On Volunteer Withdrawal
London, Aug. 24.
There are indications in political and diplomatic circles in London that the British Government fears a new wave of foreign intervention in Spain, designed definitely to crush the Loyalists, as a result of the break- down in Anglo-Italian relations and General Francisco Franco's reply to the British Not on the withdrawal of volunteers.
Acute anxiety is manifest in political circles, as indicated by the fact that Sir John Simon, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, returned from Scotland to-day and immediately conferred with the Prime Minister and Lord Halifax, the Foreign Secretary.

evacuation of volunteers.
France, apparently, is inclined to let Britain assume the responsibility for the time-being.-United Press.
