SAINT JEAN DE LUZ, France, Sep

war and end reported mass execution
of hostages, collapsed tonight.
The diplomats, residing here since
they fed their posts in Spain, an
nounced the Madrid Socialist Com
munist government sent polite re-
lection" of their proposals.
The Madrid regime ignored specific
suggestions that hostages be ex-
changed rather than executed, Daniel
Garcia Mansilla, Argentine Ambas-
sador, said.
The Madrid answer asserted in part:
While appreciative of the initiative
and aims of your excellency MAN
silla), undertaken ir your own name
and in the names of your colleagues
accredited at Madrid, the government
which is the sole legitimate constitu-
tional representative of the Spanish
people, is confining its actions to re-
pressing military insurrection, which
has created this painful situation and
which the government desires to end
as quickly as possible by all means
within its power. as Is demonstrated
by the actions and methods 1t now
is pursuing"
Mansilla, in formal communique,
pointed out the corps had taken con-
certed action with q view to offering
their mediation without political or
military motives to humanize the civil
war as much as possible"
The idea behind the move, he said,
was Ito protect the civil population
against such sufferings as imprison-
ment of hostages and other non-
combattants, against blows struck at
public health by lack of medical aid,
water and light and against loss of
human life caused by bombardment
of defenseless cities"
Since the reply does not author
ize in the least execution of the
plan, the diplomatic corps abstains'
for the moment from taking further
steps," Mansilla said.
The mediation program had been
advanced first to the Madrid gov
ernment in the hope it might lead
eventually to truce in the bloody
civil conflict,

Although two Communists, the first

The government has taken over
every available factory in every in
dustry in the land" Negrin continued,
to speed war against rebels.
ANY other nation facing such an
emergency as Spain faced during
primary stages of the insurrection
would have done the same. But at
the close Of the present conflict the
government will do all in its power
to right any wrongs which may have
been caused"
