TO

London, Feb. 15. It is understood that an agreement has been reached by sub-committee of the Non-Intervention Committee, at present in session here.

The plan, which aims at the prevention of interference by Governments or their nationals in the Spanish civil war, is not yet known in detail. However, it is disclosed that it provides:

Firstly, a ban on volunteers from all countries, to come into operation at midnight of February 20;

Secondly, a control scheme, entailing the spreading of a sea and land cordon around Spain, which would report breaches of the agreement to a London Committee of Control.

This scheme, it is suggested, should come into operation at midnight, March 6.

The whole plan is meeting with a notable co-operation among the powers. Its acceptance at the full meeting of the Non-Intervention Committee is a foregone conclusion, though It is understood the Portuguese delegate is still without in- structions, Formerly, Portugal flatly refused to allow the Non- Intervention Committee to patrol the Portuguese-Spanish frontier.

OVER COLONIES

Parliament Reassured

By Lord Cranborne

Special to "Telegraph"

London, Feb. 15. Germany's demands for the return of her colonies, lost during the Great War, figured largely at question time in the House of Commons to-day. Mr. Godfrey Locker Lampson addressed a question to the Foreign Secretary, asking if he could not announce the result of negotiations between Lord Halifax, Lord Privy Seal, and Herr Joachim von Ribbentrop, the German Ambassador.

Further, he requested an understanding from the Government that there would be no agreement to return Germany's colonies or even to offer overseas commercial opportunities to Germany without a debate in the House of Commons.

Replying on behalf of Mr. Anthony Eden, Lord Cranborne said the recent conversations between Lord Halifax and Herr von Ribbentrop were in no sense negotiations, but merely an exchange of views on a number of topics of interest to the two countries.

He referred to the statement of; the Prime Minister, Mr. Stanley Baldwin, on last April 27, when he emphasised that the Government was not considering the question of
