SENOR AZANA FIRM
NO RETURN TO SPAIN
UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER FAVOURED
OTHERS HOLD OUT
(By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright.)' (Received February 17, 2.50 p.m.) LONDON, February 16.
A Paris message states that the Spanish Foreign Minister, Senor Del Vayo, made a further unsuccessful attempt to induce President Azana to return to Madrid. Senor Azana believes that his return might be interpreted as a desire to resist the rebels to the end, whereas he, with the majority of the republican j leaders, is convinced that further resistance is impossible.
The Paris correspondent of "The Times" says that Senor Azana favours unconditional surrender and that the Premier, Dr. Negrin, and Senor Del Vayo are holding out for assurances that the Italians will ba withdrawn and that militant republicans whose lives are endangered will be enabled to leave Spain.
One of the most important aspects of Senator Berard's mission to Burgos is to discover whether General Franco is prepared and'able to ensure the departure of the Italian* and Germans.
