Non-Intervention to End If Foreign Troops Remain Geneva, Sept. 30.
After meeting with considerable opposition, a draft resolution on the subject of Spain was adopted by the Sixth Committee of the League of Nations to-day, thus ending a prolonged deadlock.
Austria, Hungary, Ireland, Bulgaria and Portugal abstained from voting, while South Africa reserved her vote.
The League Assembly is expected io approve the resolution which expresses regret that the Non-Intervention Committee has failed and recognizes that the presence of a foreign army corps in Spain represents intervention in Spanish affairs.
"If complete withdrawal of non-Spanish combatants from Spain cannot be obtained soon by diplomatic action," the resolution declares, "then members of the League will consider ending the policy of non-intervention."
The adoption of the resolution by the Committee was made possible by the action of the Spanish Foreign Minister, Sr. Alvarez del Vayo, in dropping his demand for reference to "aggression" and arms for the Spanish Government.—Reuter,
