British Proposals Being Studied

Discussions Begin in London Sub-Committee Meeting London, July 2i Only the first part of the B compromise plan for non-intervention control, that dealing with placing observers in Spanish ports and the re-establishment of land control along frontiers, was discussed by the Non-Intervention Sub-Committee at its meeting this morning, according to well informed circles here.

Certain delegations suggested modifications to this part of the plan, it is reported. The discussion will take a decisive turn only when the Sub-Committee begins to debate whether withdrawal of volunteers comes first or recognition of belligerent rights be given first to Spanish parties. This issue is the crux of the British plan.
