ITALY IGNORES SPANISH

ACCUSATIONS

PAYING NO HEED TO GENEVA'S PROCEEDINGS

(SPECIAL TO “CHIÑA MAIL")

Geneva, To-day. Determination by Italy to ignore the accusa- tions contained in the “White Book," to be present- ed by the Valencia Government to the League and purporting to contain irrefutable evidence of Ita- lian participation in the Spanish war, and refusal of General Franco to tolerate any interference by the League in the conflict, were the two main deve- lopments in the political angle to the civil strife yesterday.

ITALY, SAYS A MESSAGE FROM ROME, WILL NOT AN- SWER THE STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THE WHITE BOOK. FOR SOME TIME PAST, IT IS STATED IN THE ITALIAN CAPITAL, SIGNOR MUSSOLINI HAS PAID NO ATTENTION TO WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON IN GENEVA, AND HE DOES NOT INTEND TO MAKE ANY MOVE WHEN SENOR DEL VAYO, THE VALENCIA DELEGATE AT GENEVA, MAKES HIS AC-

CUSATIONS.

In Salamanca, an official state- ment by General Franco says that Nationalist Spain will not tolerate any interference in a problem which she is determined to solve in the only possible way, namely, on the battlefield.

All projects for mediation, de- clares the rebel leader, would only mean support for the Republicans, and any mediation would either come too late or too early and never at the right time.

THE ACCUSATIONS Meanwhile, the "White Book" which has aroused such a furore bears the title "Italian Attacks," according to League circles.
