since such a step would give legal status to the Salamanca GoveÏn- ment.

The communique reviews the negotiations that took place at yesterday morning's session, when' Lord Plymouth, acting on behalf of the British and French Govern- ments, once again brought up for discussion the plan for resumption of full sea control drawn up by the two Governments.

The Portuguese representative, although in favour in principle of the Anglo-French proposals," drew attention to the fact that Lord Plymouth himself had admitted the ineffectiveness of sea contral, and it would therefore seem to be advisable to replace the methods that had hitherto proved abortive by a better scheme.

He assured the committee that the French Government' would never grant its approval of such procedure.

IN FAVOUR OF FRANCO

The Ambassador moreover, serted that the Italo-German pro- posals would favour the Franco Government, which was stronger in sea power, though neither of the two belligerents was capable of carrying out an effective blockade of its opponents' coasts.

M. Corbin' concluded by again recommending acceptance of the Anglo-French proposals.

The Italian Ambassador again spoke, in reply to M. Corbing to the effect that Italy had not

Count Grandi declared that the mandate of the four Powers for carrying, out sea control had ex. pired as a result of withdrawal from control of Germany and Italy, and hence the entire control sys- tem had again to be subjected to examination.

She even talks and sings Chinese, and she takes charge of a fascinating romance, faces danger in glittering Shanghai, performs in a Chinese Théatre and. in short, plays the most unusual role she has ever had, in her new and most thrill- alled picture, "Stowaway,” which has its run.

Count Grandi concluded by sug- gesting that the Italo-German proposals should be communicated to those Powers not represented on the chairman's sub-committee.
