ANOTHER CRISIS
SIGNOR MUSSOLINI ANGRY. FRANCE AND THE SPANISH WAR, REFUSAL TO CLOSE FRONTIERS. ITALY MAY SEND MORE TROOPS. (United Press Association—Copyright.. (Received This Day, 9.50 a.m.) LONDON, May 18. The Australian Associated Press learns that communications that have reached No. 10 Downing Street in the last few hours indicate that Europe faces another crisis—again over Spain. The central figure is Signor Mussolini, who is angry because General Franco has not yet won and is now further hampered by the refusal of France to close the Pyrennean frontier. It is understood that the British Cabinet discussed the situation to-day. It appears that the Duce, in accordance with the thesis that Dictators are always right, is most uncompromising toward the French, the sequel to which, it is feared, may be the dispatch of Italian reinforcements to Spain, which would threaten the Anglo-Italian agreement.
