Senor Negrin Protests Strongly
(Received 10 a.m.)
BARCELONA, April 16,
“I solemnly protest, against the Anglo-Italian agreement which presumes that the Loyalists are already defeated,” said the Spanish Republican Premier, Senor Negrin, in a broadcast speech.
“The Republic has only now begun to fight,” he continued. “It possesses more war material than when the Rebel offensive started and will further increase it.
‘'Already we have stopped the Insurgents and soon we will recapture all Catalonia. We only ask that our legal rights be established and that non-intervention be ended.” No Hitch. The Associated Press says that from the moment when Mr Chamberlain received Count Grandi. Italian Ambassador to London, on February 21, immediately after Mr Eden’s resignation as Foreign Secretary, there has been no hitch in the negotiations. They were conducted with almost rapid rapidity for such a comprehensive international instrument.
There has been some hard bargaining. Nevertheless, the agreement has never been in doubt.
