Non - Intervention Parley Checked

Soviets and Germany Set Up Conditions to Scheme London, Oct. 30.

The draft resolution embodying the British non-intervention proposals did not find a smooth passage at the Non-Intervention sub-committee meeting yesterday when only five Powers—Britain, France, Sweden, Belgium and Czechoslovakia—adopted it without reservation.

Germany agreed conditionally, all the other delegates doing the same. The Italian and Portuguese attitude was the same as Germany's.

The Soviet Union agreed with a reservation regarding the granting of belligerent rights.

The sub-committee meets again on Tuesday and the full committee on Wednesday to consider approaching the two parties in Spain—Reuter.
