Spain’s Notice To Quit

LONDON, Sept. 5 Spain was one of the twelve signaories of the Algeciras Act, mentioned in the communique in Tangier, bin the diplomatic correspondent of “The Times” says it may be assumed that if Franco remains in office the projected conference of Algeciras Powers will meet without a Spanish representative. He adds: “To this extent, therefore. Franco has been served with a new notice to quit.” “The Times,” in a leading article, says: “The Powers “represented at the Paris conference" are not prepared to confer with Franco’s Government, but if a new Government were established in Spain it would be invited to participate.” , . Qualified authorities in Washington disclosed that the pattern for Tangier’s new Government provides that France and Spain will each have four representatives in the Legislative Assembly and one each on the control commission. Britain, America and Russia will each have three representatives in the Assembly, but it is not clear yet what voice they will have on the commission. The associated Press points out that it will be the first time America and Russia have had peacetime representation in the Mediterranean.
