ROME DENIES OFFICIAL ASSISTANCE SENT

There has been an outcry from the Socialist press of Europe, which believes that Italy is arming the Spanish insurgents. France is likely to openly assist the Spanish Government forces if the Italian Fascists are found to be helping their Spanish sympathisers, and the repercussions in Europe might be far-reaching. Rome denies sending official help to the Spanish rebels..

It is learned from Casa Blanca that French troops are guarding the wreckage of the first of the three planes that crashed, while inquiring into the nature and reason of the cargo of machine-guns and munitions she carried.
