The request will be delivered ic- morrow to the Rome ioreign oflice. authoritative sources said. coupled with an appeal to join in an tri- partite agreement to remain neutral in the Spanish rebellion.

(Great Britain last night indi- cated she will suppart the policy oi strict neutrality). ‘

The Leftist press today charged that both Germany and Italy are backing Fascist armies in Spain. Their editorials noted the 22nd anniversary oi genera lmobilization against invading German armies oi the Great War.

General victor Denain. comman- dant oi the French air force in North Africa. arrived here from Morocco. He had been ordered to investigate the landing of Italian planes in French Morocco Friday, carrying arms allegedly intended ior Spanish rebels. Oflicial circles said he was here on leave to visit his mother and was ill.

Eieven Italian army oiilcers ar- rested when they were forced down in French Morocco, still were held. A French journalist at Tetuan reported seeing seven planes at that Spanish Moroccan port and said additional planes were in hangars. Major Armada. aide to the rebel leader Geneerl Francisco Franco. said the Italian planes came to Morocco to repair-late Italian citi- sens.

Asked why they carried arms he replied: “I have nothing more to add."

SEEPRIIIIINIIEII CIVIL WAR IN SPAIN

Small Chance Of Reb- els’ Ultimate Suc- cess Voiced By Cor- respondent.

(By Thomas '1'. Champion. Cans- dlan Pres Stlfl writer)

LONDON. Aug. 2—(CP Cable)- A speedy end to the Spanish civil war is not looked ior in competent quarters here.

However, it is pointed out. news from Spain is so conncting that any reliable appreciation of the situation is impossible.

While naturally no omclal state- merrt is available, the general im- pression among those best qualified to Judge is that there is small chance of the rebels! ultimate suc- owl. although it is admitted their achievements to date are consider- able.

The diplomatic correspondent of the Sunday Times. whose writings always command respect. says vic- tory for either side inevitably must exasperate that intolerance and in- sposltion to compromise which has been the country's curse.

“Ii the gavernment wins. the Communist elements in the country

.wili be strengthened and what one

knows oi the Spanish people lor- bide the hope of progress and hap- piness that way." the paper says. “If the army triumphs, one sees no reason. despite the marvellous fer- tility oi Spanish genius in the past. to expect anything but a dull copy of the German and Italian political models with fresh complications in Mediterranean politics."

Perhaps, continues the Sunday Tunes. there are five Spains, not one. and in some federal sysicm may be the best solution to her troublu.

Rebel triumphs, says the news- paper. might easily lead to a. war of independence with Catalonia and its capital B:=!'r'>l3!1a. which siands to the rest A Spain much as Belfast to the rest of Ireland.

This. it is explained in authorit- ative French circles, does not mean that the Blum government is con- sidering the possible supply oi war material to the government of Spain. It means that the French government does not wish to tie its hands. It other governments do not observe strict neutrality, then the French government can dlo likewise.

France. it is understood, is anx- ious to bring both Germany and Rumia within any agreement reached.

Preliminary British reaction to the French note is favorable. Vis- count Halifax, Lord Privy Seal. who is in charge of the Floreign Office in the absence on vacation oi Foreign. Secretary Anthony Eden, received the note. The Brit- ish government, it was subsequent- ly indicated, is in entire agree- ment that all steps possible should be taken to avoid intemationai complications.

Britain has not yet formally re- plied. Rome is non-committal. but reiterates anxiety (or an early settlement oi the Spanish troubles.
