Paris, Jan. 11.

Belief is growing that the Spanish Loyalists are seeking a lead to a com- promise, aimed at the termination of the civil war, which is based on an ugreement between the Loyalists and the Spanish phalanx.

It is noteworthy that some Spanish reports aver the Fascist phalanx was nover really satisfied with the Na- tionalist set-up. Two possibilities are discussed regarding the Loyalsts next move:

Firstly a gigantle counter-attack In the Teruel sector; secondly a possible offensive against Huesen.

It is reported that the Republican General Staff has approved of a plan for the complete encirclement of ifuesen and of isolating and then re- ducing the town to surrender, which would make possible another road Into France for supplics-United
