Spanish Government Protest

Paris, Aug. 12.

A. virtual protest against the French Government's decision not to send war materials to Spain is understood to have to have been made in a letter from the Spanish Government, handed to M. Yves Delbos, French Foreign Minister, by the Spanish Ambassador last night. Such a decision, says the note. even before the proposed non-in- tervention pact is concluded, doen not correspond with a true destre for neutrality. No similar decision has been taken by other powers. which means that the insurgents are still permitted to receive arms from abroad.

The Spanish Government. does not object to an international neutrality agreement, the note says, provided all powers which might export arms are willing to adhere to it, but it is emphasised that there is a necessity.for an in- ternational control. commission and a strict watch of the Spanish coasts by the ships of different pa- tions.
