VICTORY H.K. Girl In DRAMATIC STORY

INSURGENT ENVISAGED BY DEMOCRACIES

LONDON, Jan. 22.

WITH GENERAL FRANCO steadily closing in on Barcelona, the "Observer" diplomatic correspondent discusses the possible effect on German and Italian diplomacy of a Franco victory in Spain.

The writer states that consultations have taken place through diplomatic channels between the British and French governments about the potential effect, especially on France, of an Insurgent victory.

He adds that it is not feared that either Germany or Italy will obtain any strategic footing in Spain, "as it is recognised that General Franco's following is nationalist in the Spanish sense, as Hitler's is in the German sense, and Mussolini's is in the Italian sense."

RESCUES IN MID-ATLANTIC

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.

ALL THE SURVIVORS of the sunken Cavalier, with the exception of Captain M. R. Alderson, are reported to be in fairly good condition, although suffering from extreme exposure, submersion and shock.

At 11 am., the tanker Baytown, which rescued the Cavalier survivors, was estimated to be about 145 miles south-east of New York, making between 11 and 12 knots, and it was expected to dock somewhere in New York harbour.
