Berlin Much Interested

Berlin, Feb. 9.

Much interest is being evinced here in the talks in London between Lord Plymouth, Chairman of the No Intervention Committee, and Count Dino Grandi, Italian Ambassador te Great Britain.

A lessening of the tension between Great Britain and Italy is sensed, and there is already some talk here of the possibility of carrying out the British proposals for the restriction of the Spanish Civil War.

A more friendly attitude towards Great Britain in the Spanish question is also noticed here, and the "Diplomatische Korrespondenz" declares that all such efforts to lesson the tension are welcomed.

It is not believed, however, that the question of the withdrawal of volunteers from Spain will make rapid headway.

Lord Plymouth saw separately, at the Foreign Office in London yesterday, M. Charles Corbin, the French ambassador to Great Britain, Count Dino Grandi and M. Ivan Maisky, the Soviet Ambassador. He is to receive Dr. Woermann, the German Charge d'Affaires to-day.—Reuter.
