Brussels, Nov. 30.
Belgium is to withdraw from the Non-Intervention Committee.
This announcement was made yesterday by M. Paul-Henri Spaak, the Prime Minister, who is also Minister for Foreign Affairs, in an address to the Senate.
The action was taken, he said, on the ground that Belgium's presence on the Committee wes not effective, and that Belgium desired to safeguard her economic interests in Spain by entering into commercial. negotiations with the Burgos Government.
The Senate approved the Government's Spanish policy by 88 votes to thirteen.
The minority consisted of Commünists and Socialists. There were, fifty abstentions, most of whom were Socialists.
In a subsequent interview, M. Spaak expressed the opinion that, before long, mediation in the Spanish conflict should be possible. He thought, however, that the offer to mediate should be made by a big Power, or group of Powers, and Belgium was ready to take part.—Reuter Trains Run as Usual Early this morning trains were running as usual in three. of the principal Paris railway stations, including the Gare clu Nord and Gare de lest.
At Porte Clignancourt soldiers stood with fixed bayonets.
Buses took the usual early workers into the business section. Heads of services estimated that. sixty per cent. of the buses should be running in the morning.
Taxis were fairly numerous, although most were driven by owners.
Street cleaning services functioned as usual and, apart from an exceptional number of police in twos and threes and small groups of Mobile Guards at street corners or riding on lorries, Paris presented an almost normal appearance.
