Outcry At Arms Mission To London

PROTEST ΤΟ

"A Breach of

Neutrality

By A POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT

London, Sept. 20.

Unwittingly the British Government may become in- volved in the intrigues of the Spanish Communists.

News reached London yesterday that Senora Irriburi, the extremist Spanish deputy known as La Passionaria- the passion flower-wishes to visit Great Britain to enlist sympathy for the communists.

Obviously Senora Irriburi wants more than expres- sions of good will.

Her main object in leaving Madrid is to obtain supplies of arma, ammunition, and aeroplanes.

Conservative M.P.s with whom I spoke yesterday were alarmed at the prospect of Senora Irriburi being allowed to land in England.

From the beginning of the Spanish rebellion Conser- vatives have supported the Government's policy of strict neutrality. They are new convinced that if Senora Irriburi is permitted to visit this country new suspicions will be roused abroad.

REDS JUBILANT

These suspicions would mist certainly do considerable harm to the -efforts being made to consolidate on all-European policy of non-intervention, In official quarters yesterday there was no frm indication that the Government Intended to take any netion. Inquieler in Whitehall lei to the statement:

"We have received no definite Information that Senara Itribun intends to visit this country. If she applies for permission to Tand, It is for Sle her application will be dealt with in the usual way, John Simun to decide whether she is allowed to land." Communists, however, are jubilant at the prospect of a visit from Spanish rumrade, A representative of the Communist Party sald last night:

"If Senora Irriburi visits Eng- tand, she will be welcomed as member of the Communist Party, We have not received any Intimas tion of her arrival yet.".
