The demand that military assistance sho, Spanish Government if the Soviet's diplomats do not succeed in bringing about an effective neutrality agreement, was voiced at a mass meeting of workers here to-day.

The demand is significant, as it indicates the probable course of Soviet opinion if the Ambassador's representations to the London Non-Intervention Committee are not received sympathetically.-—-

BRITAIN REFUSES TO BLOCKADE

London, Oct. 15.

Lord Plymouth's refusal, as chairman of the London Non-Intervention Committee, to consider the Russian demand for a blockade of Portuguese ports in order to prevent aid reaching the Spanish rebels, threatened to start an open race to-day between Fascist and Leftist powers in assisting their favourites in the Spanish civil conflict.

Reliable quarters here say that unless Lisbon speeds its answer to the Russian demands, the Soviet may act decisively, and without further consultation with other powers-United Press.

Common Cause

Moscow, Oct. 18. "The toilers of the Soviet Union are only fulßling their duty by rendering every assistance in their power to the revolutionary masses In Spain," says M. lesi Stall, ftussia's chief executive, in a me- safe to the Central Committee of the Spanish Communist Party..

He adds: "They realise that the

liberation of Spain from the oppress sion of Fascist reactionaries is not a private affair of Spaniards, but the common cause of all advanced and progressive mankind."-Reuter.

JAPANESE SHIP FOUNDERS

Norwegian Rescues Entire Crew

The Japanese steamer Moko Maru, 7,144 tong, sank yesterday afternoon in heavy weather in the Gulf of Lingaven, in the Philippine Islands, but her entire crew, was saved by the Norwegian steamer Concordia.

The B. and S. steamer Anking, overdue at Manila yesterday, had been variously reported damaged and chased off her course by a typhoon. It now appears her delay was caused by an attempt to reach the Moko Maru. The Anking carried 425 passengers for Manila, mostly from Amoy.

At noon yesterday the Moko Maru, bound from Moji to Dungan, reported she was making water in her forward holds but that she was in no need of immediate assistance. A half an hour later, however, she sent an SOS crackling across the water, adding that she was taking great quantities of water and was unable to cope with the situation unaided. She was then in latitude 17.28 N., longitude 119.19 E., according to her reckon- ing.

At p.m. the British steamer, Anking, Butterfield and Swire, bound for Mall from Amay, signalled the Moko Maru she was making her best speed to assist the sinking ship.
