GENEVA. September IS. - The
Spaniard, Julio Alcarez Del Vayo. told
the League of Nations assembly today
"the bloodstained soil Of Spain already
Is the battlefield Of world war"
In what delegates construed as an
attack on Germany. Italy and Portu-
gal for allegedly arming the Spanish
insurgents, the Madrid envoy warned
the assembled statesmen that future
wars will not be conflict between
states.
Instead, he said, the battle will be
between two groups Of ideas, between
democracy and oppression"
Considerable applause followed the
conclusion of his speech.
He mentioned no nation by name,
but grouped the states which he
accused as those whose political struc-
ture coincided with that to which the
rebels desire to reduce SPAIN"

Del Vayo spoke after Anthony Eden
Of Great Britain had declared his

cratic government. will ALLOW none

The 6paniaYd assailed the European
non-intervention agreement as direct
and positive Intervention in behalf Of
the rebels" and as q blockade Of the
lawful Spanish government"
Del Vayo also pledged that the
present Spanish regime never would
interfere with the internal politics oi
other countries. Delegates regarded
this statement rs an effort to dispel
any fears that an extremely radical
Spain would influence the political
conditions Of her neighbors.
Del Vayo insisted the non-inter-
vention accord was . detriment to
Madrid and an advantage to the
rebels. He said his government had
sent notes to all signatories, denounc-
ing the agreement.

of force or violence upon the person
