Geneva, Sept. 29.
The League Assembly's Political Commission decided today to forward to the Council the Spanish Republican Government's request for a League Commission to supervise the withdrawal of volunteers from the Republican armed forces.
After hearing arguments by M. Maxim Litvinoff, Soviet Foreign Commissar; Mr. Richard A. Butler, the British Under-Secretary of Foreign Affairs, together with statements by smaller Powers, the Commission adopted the following resolution.
"The Assembly expresses a wish that the Council will inscribe on its agenda the proposal submitted to the Assembly on September 2i, 1938 by the Spanish delegation and that the Council will examine it in the light of the discussion which has taken place in the Committee."
Sr. Pablo de Azcarate, Republican Spain's representative, accepted the resolution as Sr. Juan Negrin, the Premier, had originally proposed that the Council name the members of the Commission to go to Spain.
The Spanish Republican regime has an excellent chance of obtaining such a Commission from the Council, informed observers said, whereas Poland, Hungary and Albania would have blocked the request in the Assembly.—United Press.
