BRITAIN AND SPAIN
TRADE NEGOTIATIONS TREATY EXPECTED LONDON, Feb. 15 The trade negotiations between Britain and Spain have entered-the stage from which a treaty can be expected shortly, says the diplomatic correspondent of the Sunday Times. The Spanish Ambassador in London, the Marquis of Alba, had long conferences with the Foreign Minister, Viscount Halifax, after the commencement of negotiations last November. Improved trade relations between Britain, France, and Spain are regarded as- significant, indicating a unanimous desire to restore the former political friendship. The Sunday Times adds: “News received in London in connection with Spanish internal politics is not reassuring, because the contest between the Falangists and Traditionalists is becoming sharper, resulting in an emergency Cabinet meeting, which Senor Suner, the Minister of the Interior, refused to attend. “Traditionalists desire the restoraion of pre-war conditons, but Franco has warned them that he intends to continue syndicalist experiments.”
