Officials here attribute the gloomy

alarm that is felt over Spain's Tangier
dema nds, which it is said here create
an admittedly serious situation, and
not to the question of Germany's en-
trance into the league.

N0N-LEAGUE CONFERENCE
ON AFRICAN ZONE ASKED
France and Britain to Send Iden-
tical Notes Refusing Major
Requests of Madrid.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROME, August oS.-1taly's reply to
the Spanish note covering the Tangier
problem, and the composition of the
Council of the League of Nations has
been presented both to the Spanish
ambassador here and to the Madrid
government
While strict silence is maintained
about the tenor of the notes which
were drawn by Premier Mussolim
himself within two days in compliance
with Madrids specific request for
speed, semi official circles declare the
answer IS compiled i'll cordial Ian
guage substantially supporting the
Spanish thesis.
Would Separate Issues.
On the basic point of the interde-
pendence of the Tangier and the
league questions and their joint con
sideration at Geneva, which ii is de
clared was advanced in the Spanish
note, the italian government is unable
to accept Madrids views. Instead, it
suggests that Spain take up the
Iangler question in a special inter-
national conference. The Tribuna
semi official organ, points out in this
connection that Germany would be
specifically excluded from any such
conference by the Versailles Treaty.
Regarding the question of q seat on
the League council. Giornale D'Italia
intimates that Italy favors the Span
isl case, but also desires Germany to
nave seat, so that ultimate decision
Is withheld until it may be seen what
compromise may present itself. That
newspaper says:
ltaly'S former error in trying to
avoid the Tangier problem is now
overcome by circumstances. Italy's
present purpose is to maintain the
Mediterranean equiliberium, and in
that endeavOr the Spanish nation may
be assured of her sympathy"
Spain Called Friend.
Spain is our only friend" is
sentiment frequently expressed in
political circles. where it is freely
urged that Italy support Madrid both
in demand for Il permanent seat in
the league and for mandate over
Tangier, provided, however. that
Spain ceases to link these two de-
mands in her Geneva negotiations.
That is considered an ill-advised
course here.
While publishing voluminous arti-
cles about Tangier, the Italian news
papers lack editorial comment. This
recalls other occasions when the
Chigi Palace advised against stirring
the Cauldron." ON the other hand,
the denial by the Havas agency of the
Greco-Serb treaty unloosed columns
of editorial criticism of the French
policy. and the newspapers were al
most unanimous in doubling the sub
sequent denials both from Belgrade
and Sofia of the existence of any such
treaty.
