ROME ASSAILS
BRITAIN FOR
WARP0LICY
Accuses Diplomats Of
Counting Both Sides
In Spanish Revolt

ROME, Aug. IL. - Sharp criti.
cism Of Great Britains policy
in the crisis growing out Of SPANS
civil war appeared today in the
Italian press where it was charged
desire for a Bolshevik Spain
prevails in England.
British diplomats were accused
of attempting to gain the favorS
of both the government (Commun.
ist) and insurgent (Fascist) au.
thorities in Spain so that Britain
could strengthen her position IN
the Mediterranean, regardless Of
which side triumphed.
Red Leanings Charged
Nevertheless, it was charged
British opinion leans toward the
Communist governments side in
SPANS internal conflict in the be-
lief that a redder Spain would be
more inclined to foster Britain's
imperial interests.
Typical Of the comment in the
italian press was an editorial ap-
pearing in the authoritative news
paper La Tribuna which declared:
England is not preOccupied
so much with favOring either Of
the cOmbatantS, but rather with
assuming a position which will
not prejudice her chances Of
influencing SPANS future gov.
eminent, whatever that may be.
Gas usual, Britain's calcula-
tions are incorrect.
although England manifestS
no preference for the national
istic solution over the Bolshe-
visit one, well-informed circles
have revealed there prevails in
England an idea that a BOIshe-
vik Spain would be more com.
patible with British interests in
the Mediterranean than a ma
tionaliStic Spanish government
which, because of its Affinities,
would be more disposed to ia
vOr Italy's empire aims.
THREE ERRORS CHARGED
"But in her calculations Eng.
land is making three distinct
errors:
"ONE-Believing that a vic.
tOrious Right government
would ally itself to either Eng.
land or Germany, and discard
ing a priori the fact that q
Bolshevik Spain would menace
the common interests of Eng.
land and Italy in the Mediterra-
mean.
"TWO-England sees only the
immediate peril Of a national.
iStic Spain which only through
q fantastic application and
exaggeration can appear to be
a peril for England and English
rights in the Mediterranean.
"THREE-England'S mistaken
belief that Italy, which is wholly
absorbed with Ethiopia, has any
aims whatsoever in the Medi.
terranean."

Announces Firm Policy
OF Non-intervention
In Note to ENJOYS
BY ROBERT G. NIXON
International News Service

The American government will
maintain a policy Of "scrupulous
non-intervention" in SPANS civil
war.
This was made plain to jittery
European powers today in an en-
phatic but informal neutrality
proclamation.
Inspired by President Roosevelt,
the precedent-shattering move re-
iterated the policy the United
States has pursued of remaining
completely aloof from European
entanglements since post World
War days.
Blocks French Move
The manner in which Amer
ica'S stand in the Spanish crisis
was made known added a new
and brilliant page to diplomatic
history.
It effectively blocked a reported
move by the French government
to seek Americas adherence to a
pact with major European powers
pledging non-intervention III
blood-drenched Spain.
The United States put itself on
record without conversations or
exchange of notes with any Euro
pean power.
Receipt of bid from the
French government would have
put this nation in the embarraSs-
ing position of having to reject it
formally.
Text Of Statement
Instead, the neutrality pro.
nouncement was made by Acting
Secretary of State william Phil
lips in a note of instructions to
all american consular and diplo-
matte officers in strife-torn Spain.
I'm conformity with its we'll
established policy of nOn-inter.
ference with internal affairs in
other countries, either in time
of peace or in the event of
civil strife, this Government
Will, OF course, SCrupuIOuSIy re.
frain from any interference
whatsoever in the unfortunate
Spanish situation.
I'VE believe that American
citizens, both at home and
abroad, are periodically Observ.
ing this well-recognized Ameri.
can policy"
The State Department, in max.
ing the attitude Of this Govern
ment clear. hopes to persuade
American manufacturers Of air.
planes, arms, munitions and
other implements of war to re-
frain from selling to Spain dur.
ing the present disorders.

emerging from Burcia, was sub
jected to a heavy artillery and
aerial bombardment, and in raids
on Granada, loyalist shells came
close to the Alhambra, and one
aerial bomb is reported to have
hit the washington Irving Hotel,
named after the noted chronicler
of the Alhambra.
Most of the score Of Americans
in Granada, including Garcia
Goya, the dancer, were guests in
the Washington Irving, but all
are believed to be safe. A rumor
that four British subjects were
wounded was not confirmed.
Military airplanes were expected
to be pressed into service to re-
move Americans and other for
eigners from Granada to Seville.
as it is not anticipated that the
Vicomte De Sibour, who flew four
American women to Tangier yes
terday, would repeat the hazard
Gus journey.
Loyalist sources said COVERT
ment troops were almost at the
gates of Cordova," while one OF
Gen. Francisco Francois columns
marching on Madrid is said by the
insurgents to be making It's base
there.
One thousand insurgents have
surrendered at Huesca, said the
radicals, and that city is now
fully invested"
Loyalist reports said the insur-
gent generals, "in desperation"
held war council at Cadiz and
decided to attack on all fronts as
a last resort"
AS a result government troops
along the Guadarrama Mountains
were bombed this morning by 19
inSurgent airplanes, which had
come to Spain from Morocco, al
legedly supplied by Germany and
Italy.
Apparently the government is
attempting to drive straight
through the middle of the huge
expeditionary force brought by
General Franco from Africa.
which is moving northward
through western Spain towards
Madrid, and is within 80 miles Of
the capital.
Radio reports today said that,
in addition to the siege Of Cor
dova, a loyalist column was sped
westward to the relief Of Badajoz.
Met halfway by General Frances
men, the loyalists were badly de-
feated in a terrific battle and
fled, leaving $50 dead.
While the government refused
to confirm insurgent reports Of
the capture Of Badajoz, railway
service to Portugal has again
stopped, lending credibility to the
insurgents claims.

Air Battles Loom
As Spain Gets Ships

GIBRALTAR, Aug. IL 0N.SD.
Loyal and insurgent forces in
Spain massed their respective
aerial strengths today for a series
Of clashes expected to prove de-
cisive in the long drawn-out civil
war.
Hitherto checked in their ad-
vances by persistent "strafing"
from government airplanes, in
Surgent leaders believe they are
now in a position to conSummate
a triangular drive on Madrid with
the aid of more than a score Of
foreign fighting planes imported
from abroad.
Ostensibly shipped before draft
ing Of the French nonintervention
pact, which Germany and Italy
insisted must be made to apply
to private aid as well as govern
mental assistance, most Of the
important insurgent aircraft are
now quartered at Seville.
One Portuguese airman, arriv-
ing at Lisbon from Seville, was
quoted as saying the airport there
is now so damned with planes
that 1t is difficult to find land
ing space"
Only week ago the insurgents
had virtually no planes. Then ar
rival Of a dozen or more new
Caproni bombers inside the in
surgents' lines was reported.
Capronis are crack italian fighting
planes.
Recent reports reaching Gibral-
tar have told Of the arrival Of a
number of German aircraft, &C.
companied by Reich airmen and
technical experts. All are now be-
lieved to have been maSSed at
Seville and, as a result, the in
surgents in all probabilities now
have more than a score Of swift,
well-armored, heavily armed fight
ing planes at their disposal.
In addition to the Italian and
German planes, there are a large
number of French fighting planes
on the loyalist side. French sources
state these have been sent by
private interests beyond control Of
the government pending interna-
tional adhesion to the neutrality
pact.
LISBON, Aug. II U.N.SO.
MasSing of German and Italian
fighting airplanes in the insur-
gent Spanish city Of Seville to
help battle government forces was
confirmed today by a Portuguese
pilot who arrived here from
Seville. He said:
"There are so many planes on
the Seville airfield that il is be-
coming difficult to find landing
