FINANCIAL CHECK
WITHDRAWAL OF VOLUNTEERS.
THE COST OF SUPERVISION.
GERMANY’S STAND UNCERTAIN
tUnited Press Association—Copyright,.. (Received This Day, 10.50 a.m.) LONDON, May 30. A correspondent of the Australian Associated Press says that six former British Army officers have been chosen as leaders of six international commissions which are going to Spain to su per vise the withdrawal of volunteers. However, the Non-Intervention Committee has still not reached a. decision about financing the scheme, which will require £1,000,000. Britain, France, Italy, Germany, and Russia are required to contribute 80 per cent., but the Soviet has so far been unwilling to contribute.
Further complications will certainly arise, even if finance is adjusted, because the scheme is unworkable until it is acceptable to the insurgents and the loyalists. Germany’s attitude to withdrawal remains uncertain. It is reported that Herr Hitler is anxious for the conflict to continue because it will obstruct Implementation of the Anglo-1 talian agreement, to which he is not favourable.
