London, Apr. 30.
Although the Spanish problem, as well as ways and means of putting a definite stop to foreign intervention, have probably been discussed at length between the British end French Ministers, no information was forthcoming today regarding the results achieved in this respect. Official circles here confined themselves to declaring that the nonintervention sub-committee will probably mee: early next week in order to put the finishing touches to the British plan, and to decide on the concrete measures to be taken for the withdrawal of foreign volunteers fighting on Spanish soil. Lord Plymouth, President of the Non-Intervention Committee, will probably communicate witl both parties engaged in the Spanish conflict, in order to get their assent to the measures proposed, Another problem, which occupied the attention of the convening statesmen, was that of economic assistance to the states of the little entente, The conference decided to entrust experts with an enquiry into the problem, new conversations between the French and British ministers being scheduled to take place after the conclusion of suth an enquiry.—

Senor Pablo de Azcarate, the Spanish Ambassador, this morning handed a memorandum to the British Foreign Office protesting against those clauses in the British-Italian agreement "which provide that the volunteers and war material in the service of the rebels might not be withdrawn prior to the termination of the civil war,'
"The acceptance of the fact that men and material sent by the Italian Government to help the rebels shall remain in Spain, constitutes ud: only an explicit and solemn recognition of Italy's intervention, but even its legitization, Once the Governmen: of the United Kingdom thus has legitimized alien intervention in Spain, The Spanish Governmen; is forced to consider this attitude not only as a manifest and plain injustice, which mus: be revolting to every fair-minded person, but also a policy designed to favour the rebellion against the only legitimate Government in Spain, Taking into account the preceding considerations, the Spanish Republican Government feels compelled to enter a respectful, but firm and energetic protest the British Government."
