"If we win now, Spain will be based on corporative system, on lines similar to those established in Portugal, Italy and Germany," declared General Franco, in an interview, the text of which has been received here.

General Franco added: “As soon as we take full possession of Spain, all civilians who have been armed by the insurgents and who are co-operating against Madrid, will be asked to return their arms and return to their former occupations. They will have nothing further to do with political affairs."

Declaring that victory was certain, General Franco claimed the Madrid Government had made arrange- as the insurgents' ments to quit the capital as soon advance began in earnest.-Reuter Special.

Paris, Aug. 10. International incidents in Spain have multiplied, making a crisis involving foreign powers more possible. First, a German freighter, s.ş., Bessel, reports an -armed vessel, flying the red flag,, pursued her off San

Sebastian;

Second, there is the incident of the killing of Capt. Rupert Saville, a British subject, aboard his yacht, the Blue Shadow;

Third, Le Malin, in Paris, reports that an uniden- tified Paris jeweller has been ordered to sell his stock on behalf of Russia, despatching the proceeds to Spain;

Fourth, the German torpedoboats Kondor and Moewe have left for Spain to protect nationals, according to a despatch from Berlin;

Fifth, the Spanish Government's confiscation of aeroplanes at Madrid is confirmed. These machines are believed to belong to the German Lufthansa line, which has announced it will maintain its service to Madrid "as long as possible."-United Press.

From Great Britain

London, Aug. 10. While the Portuguese Government has agreed in principle to the proposed agreement of non-intervention in Spain, it is understood that before Portugal can whole-heartedly support

the plan she requires satisfaction on three points by Britain and France.

The first of these concerns the necessity of Russia also participating in the agreement;

And the third is the more intimate matter of Portugal's own security.'

Portugal is apparently anxious to know to what extent she can rely for support upon Great Britain and France in the event of a possible threat to her territorial integrity.

The German Embassy makes no cominent, except that it emphatically denies that any Gormans were occupy- ing the selred planes. The interrup tion of the Lufthansa service is due, it is stated, to "local reasons" and it is hoped the service will be resumed shortly.
