INSURGENT VICTORY H.K. Girl In DRAMATIC STORY OF
ENVISAGED BY
DEMOCRACIES
LONDON, Jan. 22.
WITH GENERAL FRANCO steadily closing in on Barcelona, the "Observer" diplomatic correspondent discusses the possible effect on German and Italian diplomacy of a Franco victory in Spain.
The writer states that consultations have taken place through diplomatic channels between the British and French governments about the potential effect, especially on France, of an Insurgent victory.
He adds that it is not feared that either Germany or Italy will obtain any strategic footing in Spain, "as it is recognised that General Franco's following is as nationalist in the Spanish sense, as Hitler's is in the
German sense, and Mussolini's is in the Italian sense."
INSURGENT VANGUARD NEAR CITY
It is not even greatly feared that Germany and Italy will obtain a financini or economic hold over Spain by offers of help in reconstruction, or the supply of armaments for the purpose of Spanish participation in the general arms race.
What is regarded as possible is that the necessity presented lo General Franco for manning her Spanish frontier, in addition to the existing Germon and Italian frontiers,

RESCUES IN MID-ATLANTIC
NEW YORK, Jan. 22.
ALL THE SURVIVORS of the sunken Cavalier, with the exception of Captain M. R. Alderson, are reported to be in fairly good condition, although suffering from extreme exposure, submersion and shock.
At. 11 a.m., the tanker Baytown, which rescued the Cavalier survivors, was estimated to be about 145 miles south-east of New York, making between 11 and 12 knots, and it was expected to dock somewhere in New York harbour.
Meanwhile coastguard eutters have reached the spot where the Cavalier sank, and they have been ordered to continue the search for the missing plane and three missing people until nightfall, although there is very little hope that they will be successful.
