SOVIET ATTITUDE TO SPAIN
END OF CONCESSIONS TO REBELS STATEMENT BY BRITISH LABOUR COUNCIL (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright) (Received September 9, 7.50 p.m.) LONDON, September 9. The Soviet Ambassador to London (M. Ivan Maisky) informed the chairman of the Non-Intervention Committee (the Earl of Plymouth) that Russia would not grant more concessions to General Franco, the Spanish rebel leader; also, Russia did not agree to the
proposal to send the secretary of the committee to visit both sides to discuss the withdrawal of foreign volunteers. The Russian view, said M. Maisky, was that if the Non-Intervention Committee wished to make personal contact the Spaniards should be asked to send representatives to London. In a statement on Spain the National Council of Labour urged that the demand of the Spanish people for the restoration of their Government’s right to purchase arms should be implemented forthwith, and the French frontier opened. The Trades Union Congress voted £5OOO for the Spanish international solidarity fund.
