LONDON, February 10.: (Received February 11, at 10.40 a.m.) Signor Grandi called on Mr Eden and delivered tbe Dace’s reply to the British proposals to withdraw volunteers from Spain as a prelude to opening discussions regarding a British-Italian rapprochement. TECHNICAL DETAILS WELL ADVANCED RUGBY, February 10. (Received February 11, at 11 a.m.) The technical details of the British compromise plan for Spain are well advanced, but a decision is awaited on certain outstanding points, especially in regard to the percentage of volunteers to be withdrawn, the measures to be taken for their withdrawal, and tbe at which there would be such a substantial withdrawal as to permit of the granting of belligerent rights. The Italian. Ambassador again conferred with Mr Eden tp-day, when it is understood the work' of the Nonintervention Committee formed the main topic. It is known that Britain keenly desires to obtain a solution of the apparent deadlock in the proceedings of the committee on the withdrawal of volunteers, and it is thought in London that on the Italian side there is an understanding of this desire. The chairman’s sub-committee of the Non-intervention Committee will probably meet again next week.
