GERMANY MAY TAKE ACTION
GRAVE CRISIS DEVELOPS HINT OF “DIPLOMATIC OFFENSIVE ” LONDON NEWSPAPER CRITICISM United Press Association—Bv Electric Telegraph -Copyright LONDON. June 22. The Foreign Secretary (Mr Anthony Eden) will meet the French, German and Italian Ambassadors on the Leipzig affair, which, it is feared at Whitehall, may be used by Germany as an excuse for a Anal rupture on non-intervention. Herr von Ribbentrop (German Ambassador in London), is reported to have delivered a virtual ultimatum. The fall of Bilbao, the French political crisis and internal difficulties in Russia are believed to have strengthened the hands of the extremists. War Chiefs Consult Herr Hitler conferred with the War Chiefs, including General von Blomberg (Chief of Staff), and Admiral Raeder (Commander-in-Chief of the Navy), and discussed Independent measures against the Spanish Government if dissatisfied with the London talks. The official spokesman declared that the German indignation must be taken more seriously. He hinted that Germany may demand the confiscation of Government merchantmen, the blockade of harbours and a naval demonstration.
