FOREIGN AID FOR SPANISH REBEL FORCE? France May Assist Loyal "Leftists"

ITALIAN AIRCRAFT ON MYSTERY MISSION

Paris, July 30.

The question of armaments for Spain is agitating French political circles.

M. Leon Blum, the Prime Minister, and M. Yvest Delbos, Foreign Minister, to-day denied reports alleging the delivery of French arms and aeroplanes to Spain, but the Rightist press is apprehensive lest reports that Germany and Italy are furnishing arms to the insur- gents may cause the French Government to reconsider its neutrality declarations. Rightists fear interference of this nature might cause the Spanish trouble to spread into Europe.

that

It is believed the Government will leave a final decision with regard to the furnishing of arms to Spain until after the debate in the Chamber of Deputies to-

morrow.

M. Delbos, replying to questions in the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Chamber this evening, said if foreign powers sent arms to the Spanish rebels the French Government would have to reconsider its position.
