SPANISH CITIZENS

IN SHANGHAI

Lack Of Consular Representation

Amazing Situation

Shanghal, February 19.

Lack of Spanish consular representation in Shanghai has created an amazing situation for Shanghai's 130 Spanish citizens. Mr. E. V, Ferrer resigned the post as Consul General for Spain in September last, dut now claims the appointment from the Spanish Nationalist Government which, however, is not recognis- ed by China.

When Mr. Farrer resigned the Vice-Consul became acting Consul-General representing the Madrid Government, but inter he disappeared.

In view of Spain's extraterri-¡ ∙torial rights, it appears there is no authority available which сал

take legal cognizance of Spanish citizens in Shanghal who theoret!- cally therefore can commit any crime with impunity.

The International Consular Body nas been asked to take action, falling which it is suggested the Chinese Government might inter-

America And Japan Anxious

London, February 19. Foreign reactions to the British rearmament programme are reaching London from all parts of the world. The United States and Japan are wondering what effect the enormous expenditure. on British defence will have in the Pacific.

In Tokyo, naval circles are viewing Britain's defence scheme and consider that the United States, may decide to follow Britain, in which case it would affect the Far East. Japan will then be obliged to reconsider her naval position. It is opined, however, that Britain's rearmament is primary, towards Europe-Router's Bulletin Service.
