Objections to French and British Naval Patrol London, July 25.
A new effort to end the non-intervention deadlock is expected to be made by Great Britain shortly. As a result of further talks between the Foreign Secretary, Mr. - Anthony Eden, and the French and German representatives in London, it is now almost certain that the Chairma: sub-committee will meet again on Monday or Tuesday.
To this meeting will be. submitted a document containing a suggested new method for dealing with the British compromise proposals so as to overcome the difficulty whicn arose at the last meeting, when it was found impossible to agree on the order in which the items in the plan should be discussed, As had been made clear in the original proposals themselves, the various items are interdependent.
The revised procedure is likely to take the form of a questionnaire to be circulated to the various Powers concerned. This list of questions would cover all the British proposals and it would again be made cleat that the items constituted one whole and that the order in which they appeared either in the original document or in the questionnaire had no special significance, It is hoped in this way to elicit from the governments which are parties to the Non-Intervention Agreement a definite indication of thei attitude to the proposals. The governments would be asked to reply at a specified and early date.
It is understood that Herr Joachim von Ribbentrop, the German Ambassador, has given his provisional assent to the new procedure, and that M. Charles Corbin, the French Ambassador, has also considered it favourably. The British Government intends, by collating the replies, to define the field of disagreement, It is considered not unlikely that G-many and Italy will shortly inform the Committee that they refuse any longer to recognize the naval patrol exercised by Britain and France alone, on the ground that it operates only against the coast held by the insurgents—Reuter,
