ASKS SATISFACTION ON THREE POINTS REPORT ON BARCELONA ATROCITIES

VIGOROUS PROTEST BY HOLY SEE

London, To-day.

While the Portuguese Government has agreed in principle to the proposed agreement concerning non-intervention in Spain it is under- stood that before Portugal can wholeheartedly support the plan she requires satisfaction on three points from Britain and France:-

(1) The necessity of Russia's also participating in the agree- ment:

(2) Respect for the international zone of Tangier by both sides of the Spanish civil war;

(3) In view of the danger to the security of the Portuguese regime by anarchy in Spain, Portugal is apparently anxious to know the extent to which she can rely on the support of Britain and France in the event of a possible threat to her territoris integrity.

MYSTERIOUS AEROPLANES

It is pointed out that re-affirmation of the pledge by Bri tain and France to defend the territorial integrity of Portugal under the League Covenant might do much to reassure Portugal. while there is a likelihood that Britain will be able to recall her obligations under the Anglo-Portuguese Alliance. ― Reuter.
