JOINT ACTION
FRANCO, ITALY AND GERMANY ANNOUNCEMENTS COINCIDE LONDON, Nov. 20. According to the Morning Post's diplomatic correspondent, General Franco’s blockade decision was taken with the full knowledge of the German and Italian Governments, who timed their recognition of his Government to coincide with his step. The reason for the joint action is that an important shipment of Russian munitions is en route to Barcelona, and that the three Governments are determined to prevent its arrival. Both the Italian and the German Governments have already accepted the legitimacy of the blockade, thus making it more difficult for others to raise objections.
