London, Nov. 1.

The full meeting of the Non-In- tervention Committee has approved the draft resolution that, subject to the withdrawal of volunteers, bell gerent rights be granted, and also Approved the recommendation that the Chairman be authorized to np. proach the two parties in Spain,

Although the draft resolution was adopted by all representatives of the Non-Intervenilon Committee, M. Ivan Maisky, the Russian delegate, main- tained his absention on the question of granting belligerent rights.

The commitice unanimously adopt. ed the sub-committee's two recem mendations nuthorising the Chair- man forthwith to approach the two parties in Spain, and providing for the continuance of examination of methods for applying the resolution, pending replies from the two Spanish parties, and consideration of measures to meet the Soviet absten- Lion-Reuter.

Prohibitive "War Risk” Criticised

Commons Told Trade Suffers Severely

London, Nov. 4.

Far Shipping difficulties in the East were brought to the attention of the House of Commons to-day by Mr. A. C. Moreing (Cons.), when he first asked if the Board of Trade was nware that British merchants In Shanghai were seriously handleopped by the prohibitive rates "for. wor risks for vessels going to Shanghal or Woosung."

Captain Evan Wolluce, President of the Board of Trade, replied he was informed that underwriters were freely granting war riak In- surance on vessels going to those ports, and on their cargoes, other than way materials. Insurance on cargo at present was limited to the period during which it was aboard an ocean- going vessel, but he understood the underwriters were considering the possibility of assisting shippers by extending the scope and existing

cover.

Mr. Moreing also asked If the Board of Trade would point out to British ship owners the serious damage they were doing to British trade by their delay in resuming shipments to Woo- sung in view of the recent speciflea- tion of hours and localities made by the Commander-in-Chief of Shong- hal (Admiral Sir Charles Little) In which he considered it was safe for British ships to anchor, and in view of the absence of lightering dimcul- ties between Woosung and Shanghal.

Captain Wallace, in-reply, sald il- was for ship owners to decide whe ther to send ships to Woosung or not, and in deciding they doubtless would take into account the various fac- tors, including the consideration of safety and also the amount of busi- ness offering. Reuter.
