Text of Notes

London, Jan. 3.

The notes exchanged In Rome on December 31, between Sir Erle Drum- mond and Count Clano on the integrity of the present territories of Spain, are now made public,

The British Ambassador, in his | note, begins by recalling the Com- mons' question and answer of Decem- ber 10 on the guarantee given to the British Government by the Govern ment of Italy concerning the Balearic Islands and cites Mr. Anthony Eden's necount of the giving of assurancer which, he pointed out, were verbal.

"His Majesty's Charge d'Affaires in Rome, acting on instructions, In- formed the Italian Foreign Minister on September 12 that any alteration of the status quo in the Western Mediterranean would be a matter of the closest concern to

Mr. that taking note of this communica- tion, the Italian Foreign Minister had that the Italian Masured Mr. Ingram tha Government had not either before or revolution in Spain engaged since the rev In any negotiations with General Franco whereby the status quo in the Western Mediterraneun would be altered, nor would it engage in any such negotiations in the future..

This assurance, the Secretary State added, was subsequently re affirmed spontaneously to the British Naval Attache in Rome by the Italian Ministry of Marine, and the Italian Ambassador in London had on several Occasions given to the Secretary of State smaller verbal assurances."

Sir Eric Drummond's nole then proceeds: "In view of these assur ances His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom assumes that so. `tar pe Italy is concerned the integrity of the present territories of Spain shall in all circumstances remain intact and unmodifed. It would, however, be grateful if Your Excel- lency saw your way formally to con- firm the accuracy of this assumption and I have accordingly the honour to enquire whether your Excellency could supply me with such confirma- lion."

A sigh came from her, "I do not love him. I cannot marry him.”

Her eyes lit up and her volce became soft.

"I am in love with an Engllahman, and he is in love with me, I do not want to divulgo his name, but he belongs to an aristocrailo family. Some day we will marry.

"He is not a millionaire, but he has a heart of gold, and always does the right thing.

"He sent me those lovely roses, The American would have sent mel something out of the ordinary, something queer which would not have given me anything like the pleasure the roses did."” Wants To Settle. Down

Lolita, who is well known on the American stage, screen and radio, expects to make a film over here.

She has won fame as a Spanish dancer, but she says she is tired of

the stage.

"I want to give li up, to settle down with my Englishnann, to have children, and lead a quiet life.

"First, though, I want to make a 'hit' in London: I feel I owe that to myself. Then I will gladly marry my Englishman and give up the stage for ever."
