London, Mar. 17.

A demarche by the Spanish Covernment at Valencia, with a View obtaining British and

to French assistance-In the civil war. has been published by the in- surgent authorities at Salamanca. It appears that the Spanish Foreign Minister, Senor Delvayo, presented a note to Mr. Anthony Eder; the British Foreign Secre- tary, and M. Yves Delbos, French Foreign Minister, at Geneva on February 9. In this, the Spanish Government offered to. ccde cer- tain rights in Spanish Morocco in return for help against the rebels. Inquiries by "Reuter" in London to-day revealed that such a note had been received by His Majesty's Government, but that no reply had yet been given,

However. It is pointed out, neither Britain nor France can entertain te proposal for a me- ment, as it would be contrary to their treaty obligations. A reply

in this sense is likely to be despat- ched soon.--Reuter,

Profound grief at the death of Sir Austen Chamberlain, which took place last night, la express- ed in telegrams and other mess- ages which have reached London from many parts of world to-day, and in the House of Commons, at the close of question time, eloquent tributes to his long and devoted publle service were paid by lead- ders of all parties.

ten Chamberlain was a friend of everyone in the House. He was a great House of Commons man, a devoted servant of his countrymen, kind, courteous and generous, and the strokes he delivered in debate never left any ill-feeling behind.

The Liberal Leader, Sir 'Ar- chibald Sinclair. recalled Sir Austen Chamberlain's struggle for peace and understanding among the nations and his championship. of the freedom of democracy.

Mr. Lloyd George said that it was the duty of that great assem- ly, that on this occasion, represen- ting the united people, they should do honour to a man of honour. Mr.. Maxton for the Independent So-

The King has sent a personal message of sympathy to Lady Chamberlain, and the Prime Minister called on her this morn- ing to express his condolences.

Telegrams from abroad included messages of sympathy on behalf of the League of Nations. In the House of Commons Mr. Stanley Baldwin recalled, his personal at- Lachment to Bir Austen Chamber lain who he described as being a great Parliamentarian. He loved the House of Commons and the life of the House.
