Mrs. Simpson Has Not
Heard From Prince,
Spokesman Says.
BY the Associated Press.

CANNES, France, December 12.-
Mrs. Wallis Simpson has not heard
from Pince Edward since he left Eng
land and does not know where he is
or where he is going, a spokesman
for the American woman said today.
The spokesman repeated his former
statement that Edward is not COM
ing to Cannes and that Mrs. Simpson
is remaining at the villa of Mr.. and
Mrs. Herman Rogers.
Lord Brownlow, once gentleman-in-
waiting to the former British ruler,
said an automobile. which Mrs. Simp-
son sometimes uses for country drives,
had been taken from its garage for
his use during part of his return trip
to London.
He said he intended to leave Cannes
this afternoon, but may stop off on
the way for short vacation. He in
sisted he would not see the abdicated
monarch.
Driven by Ex-K Kings Aide.
The machine was driven by George
Ladbrook, chauffeur member of for
mer King Edwards staff. who has
been assigned to Mrs. Simpsons serv-
ice since she left England.
The chauffeur took to the villa
copies OF morning newspapers carry
ing accounts of Edwards farewell
radio address to the empire.
Servants said hosts and guest slept
late at the villa, arising at 1890 am.
Edward was en- route from Eng
land aboard ship believed headed
for Boulogne, France. or some port
on the Mediterranean. but it was
believed Mrs Simpson might delay
another meeting with him for more
than three months.
There Is no reason why the for
mer King could come here" said a
spokesman for Mrs. Simpson. There
is every reason why he cannot
come
Refers to Divorce Action.
The spokesman referred to Mrs.
Simpsons divorce from Ernest
Aldrich Simpson, London business
man. which will be made absolute
April 81 at the end of the usual six
month waiting period, unless there is
a special dispensation.
Friends said both Mrs. Simpson
and the former King had no desire
to comphcate the case by a meeting
during the intervening period. There
have been no indications that efforts
are being made to speed up the di-
yorce.
Last night Mrs. Simpson and her
hosts listened by radio to Edwards S
reference to her while bidding the peo-
pies of his far-f1ung empire farewell.
Mrs. Herman Rogers of -Jew York,
the hostess. wept after listening. Her
husband and Lord Brownlow, who at
tended Mrs. Simpson here, speaking
to questioners, evidenced the depth of
their emotion by their voices.
After the broadcast a crowd gathered
in light rain and mist to see if they
could glimpse Mrs. Simpson, but the
curtains Of the living room where the
broadcast was heard were closely
drawn.

By the Associated Press.
GENEVA, December 12.-After a
stormy secret session, the League of
Nations Council agreed today on
resolution designed to isolate the
Spanish civil war.
The resolution was understood to
contain four principal points:
/. Recognition of the Valencia So
cialist governments appeal to the
League to recognize the war as dam
ger to international peace.
2. Support of a more rigid system
of international control to prevent for
eign assistance to either warning fac
ton.
3. Approval of Franco British sug-
gestions for mediation.
4. Recommendation of cooperative
action by the League and other inter-
national bodies, including the London
Non-Intervention Committee, in at
tempting to halt the conflict.
Final Action Sought.
The recommendation were expected
to be presented to the Council for final
action later today.
Preliminary approval of the resolu-
ton came after Julio Alvarez del Vayo,
Spanish foreign minister, warned the
council "an international conf1agra-
ton daily becomes more of menace
Both British and French delegates
to the council pointed TO the posi-
bility of international war growing

in Spain.

Large Groups in Action.
The French delegate, Pierre Vienot,
charged large groups of foreign SOL

"and there is reason to fear soldiers
from all over Europe may be facing
one another in Spain"
The sudden surge of non-interven-
ton sentiment was taken without the
attitude of Germany and Italy be-

ers have recognized the insurgent
Spanish Fascists as the de facto gov
