TROOPS ON BORDER
A THREAT TO FRANCE REPUBLICAN VIEW (Rec. 9 p,m.) NEW YORK, Apl. 12. Ferinand de los Rios, the official representative of the Spanish Republican Government, stated that he submitted documents to the United Nations which the Republicans want considered by the Security Council during consideration of Poland’s com: plaints against the Franco regime. Rios declared that the documents showed that Franco Spain was threatening France with 450,000 troops poised on the closed French-Spanish border. “Spain now has an army superior to France’s numerically, and perhaps also in quantity of armament.” Rios said Spanish Republicans believe that collective severance of diplomatic relations with Spain by all the United Nations would bring Franco’s downfall. The Republican Government is at present recognised only by Poland and Mexico.
