DANGERS TO PEACE
RUMOURS IN CANBERRA UK ASSURIN'!; STATEMENT CANBERRA, July 1. The Attorney-General, Mr. Men.zies, in the House of Representatives to-day, issued a statement on international affairs in order to reassure members of Parliament who had been gravely disturbed by rumours which had been circulating in Canberra for many hours that the peace of the world was threatened by developments in Spain. “The withdrawal of the German and Italian naval units from the naval patrol of the Spanish coasts,” said Mr. Menzies, “has led to the necessity for a discussion of the situation by the four Powers concerned—Great Britain, France, Germany, and Italy—and by the chairman’s sub-committee of the Non-intervention Committee. According to information received by the Commonwealth Government, the chairman’s sub-committee will meet on Friday to consider the proposals of the four Powers hitherto responsible for tlic naval patrol in regard to the future operation of the patrol. “Nothing in the nature of an ultimatum has been delivered to the German and Italian Governments by the British and French Governments.”
