He suggested that some agency like
the Railway Mediation Board might
be considered to assist in solving labor

Right now, I don't see much that
we can do because the (Supreme)

LONDON, March 25.-Great Britain
and France agreed today they must
prevent further landing of foreign
volunteers - especially Italians - in
warning Spain.
Representatives of the two powers
discussed the possibility of using
warships to halt troop transports en-
route to Spain, but postponed any
decision pending the outcome of the
International Non-intervention Com
mittee's control plan.
The Franco-British accord, as dis
cussed, would go further than the
neutrality scheme, under which the
movements of troop transports merely
are to be reported to neutrality head
quarters by patrolling warships of
Britain, France, Germany and Italy.
Diplomats said Paris and London,
however, are in accord that the ma
chinery of the Neutrality Committee
shall be tried out thoroughly in re-
gard to the problems relating to
Spain"
Future Course Uncertain.
The big ''if" in the entire situation
was the future course of those gov
ernments which have been accused
of sending military assistance to both
sides of the Spanish civil war.
The Franco-British agreement was
negotiated by Foreign Minister Yvon
Delbos of France and Sir George
Russell Clerk, British Ambassador to
France
Referring to the Neutrality Com
mittee'S control plan as work already
accomplished" British sources de-
clared the problem Of withdrawing
foreign volunteers already in Spain is
for future consideration.
They insisted the committees ma
chinery be utilized to the utmost just
as soon as Admiral NJ H. Van D n,
general administrator, sets the date
when the plan shall become effec-
tive.
