LONDON, Dec. 20 UNS0
Great Britain may ask the United
States to take measures to pre-
vent shipment of American arms
and aircraft to Spain, it was
learned today few hours after
washington approved one such
shipment.
Britain, it was learned, definite
~ will ask the United States to
take this action in the event an
international blockade or other
methods of making Spanish non
intervention more effective are
agreed upon.
The powers already are studying
a French proposal for a blockade
The British foreign office is
perturbed over the publicity given
abroad to news of the American
State Departments issuance Of a
license to an American to ship
over $4,000, 900 worth Of airplaneS
and airplane parts to Spanish
loyalists.
TrctCAL 1UE UCEuldAy
While recognizing Washington
stand that the Government Is
unable to prevent such shipments
under existing laws, Britain fears
Germany may use this incident as
a pretext for Side-stepping the
pressing Anglo-French demand for
more strict nonintervention.
In unofficial quarters it was
pointed out that announcement OF
the imminent American shipment
came at an unusually bad time,
since Germany, under strong pres
sure recently, had appeared about
ready to agree to cooperate with
other powers in keeping out of
Spain.
To minimize the idea Of the
United States "diSrupting" nonln-
tervention, British quarters are
giving out the impression they are
confident President Roosevelt will
prevent American shipments to
Spain if Europe agrees to make
nonintervention absolutely effec-
tive.
Cooperation Essential
The foreign office declares It
would be a logical move to ask the
United States to take action IF
necessary"
At present, however, even the
British are not optimistic about
possibilities of getting Europe to
agree to more effective noninter.
vention, so the question of Amer
lean cooperation was not seen
likely to develop Immediately.
Nevertheless such cooperation
would be essential, it was said, in
event the blockade or other eff
fective means are agreed upon.
And Britain would ask for it with
out delay, confident of obtain
ing it.

The Board feels that all depositors will
understand its action which aims at safe
guarding their interests during a situation
which is being experienced the world over
and the assurance is given that if and when
conditions permit the Board will be glad to
authorize such higher interest rate as may
be warranted.
