(Received 5.5 p.m.) Ec "* er - LONDON. Dec. 20. Replying in the House of Commons to a question by Commander J. M. Kenworthy, Liberal member for Hull, who called attention to the importance of the international aspect of the Spanish withdrawal from Morocco, the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Austen Chamberlain, said he was unable to foreshadow the Government's attitude toward a series of contingencies which had not yet arisen. 'The Government would, however, do everything to prevent the domestic trouble becoming an international question. . A message from Madrid states that the Acting-President of the Spanish Directory, Signor Magaz, had a long interview with the British Ambassador regarding the measures General Primo de Rivera contemplates taking in concert with France to protect the international zone at Morocco against the Riffs.
The authorities closed a Masonic Lodge building and banished Signor Jimenez, exGovernor of Seville, on a charge of publishing an article hostile to the Directory.
