London, Oct. 8.

Soviet Russia, angered by the alleged Fascist aid to Spanish. insurgents, has plunged Europe into a grave crisis.

Following Wednesday's warning, Moscow has sent interested nations a second protest to-day, directly charging Portugal with violation of the neutrality agreements and demanding, "first, that an impartial commission be sent to the Spain and Portugal border to investigate on the spot the true state of affairs; second, that the commission leave there some members to see the non-intervention agreement is fulfilled in the future."

Diplomatic circles in Geneva report that unless Fascist aid to the Spanish rebels is immediately halted, Russia is ready to speed aeroplanes and other war materials to the Leftists in Madrid, which is a direct challenge to Germany and Italy, and precipitates a situation which European statesmen-already arming for war-are reluctant to face.

CRITICISM OF NEW NAVAL PACT PROPOSAL

London, Oct. 9.

The Washington correspondent of the Morning-Past cables. that the British suggestion for the continuance of the pro visions of the existing naval treaties, forbidding the building of further Pacific fortifications, is termed by the American Navy League "definitely unfriendly."

The Navy League's attitude is based on the argument that Americans agreed not to fortify Pacific bases on condition that Japanese accepted treaty obligations to respect the "Open Door" policy in China and the political integrity of that country. Con- sequently the British note should have dealt with that topic

The League suggests that as the Amerteon condition of agreement to the British proposal, a Commission should be given the right to inspect the Japanese mandated islands in the Pacific to see that they have not been turned into strongly fortified bases.
