London, June 29.
Further progress was made in ihe scheme for the withdrawal of foreign volunteers from Spain during a meeting of the Non-Intervention Sub-Committee yesterday, when one of the main obstacles to the successful operation of the scheme, that of financing it, was to a grent extent overcome, Reuter's diplomatic correspondent learns.
Among the helpful suggestions made at the meeting was that by the representatives of Great Britain, France, Italy and Germany, who said that their Governments were each ready to pay one-fifth of the general east of the withdrawal plan.
The Soviet representative suggested that each of the five great Powers should bear one-sixth of the expense of organizing the evacuation of volunteers from Spain, and of maintaining control officers in Spanish ports, Other members of the committee, it was suggested, should bear jointly the remaining sixth of the cost.
The Soviet representative also suggested that the Republican Government and General Franco bear the expense of maintaining the volunteers prior to their repatriation, while the expenses of their transportation from Spain, he said, should be borne by all the Governments concerned, in proportion to the number of their nationals serving as volunteers.
