SPAIN NEXT?
LANDING OF TROOPS AT CEUTA REPORTED FORCE OF 16,000 [U.P.A.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] (Received 17th Aug. 9.10 a.m.) GIBRALTAR, 1 6th August. It is reported from Ceuta (Spanish Morocco) that 16,000 Spanish troops have landed from Spain with guns and light and medium tanks, and are proceeding inland from Tetuan. Their destination is believed to be the border of the International Zone. There are also persistent rumours that Spain will enter the war against Britain. One suggestion is that if Spain does not take Gibraltar the Italians will, meaning that Spain will lose it permanently.
