 He demanded that the new nine- power agreement to end piracy" in the Mediterranean by attacking not only submarines but airplanes and surface vessels preying on mer- chant shipping be extended to pro- tect merchantmen of the Loyalist government.
 He demanded that the powers ac- cord the LoyaliSt government, as the recognized, legally constituted government of the republic, the right to buy arms and munitions freely abroad
 Retain Hold of Spain
 Italy and Germany were not go- ing to give up their hold on Spain If the Nationalists won, he warned.
 Speaking in staccati, scoholarly French, Negrin read carefully from manuscript Q speech on which Loyalist Spain based It's hopes of winning world sympathy-and world aid.
 After his warning that Italy was going to send new armies to Spain, he let his hand fall heavily on the desk before him and Said
 And now may nobody plead ig- norance on this point in the future"
 He summarized his demands:
 "The government of the republic considers 1t is within itS rights to request CD that German and Ital- ian aggression of which Spain has been the victim be recognized; (O that in consequence of this recogni- ton the league examine means of putting on end to this aggression; (3) that the Spanish government once more be given the right to ac- quire freely all the war material 1t may consider necessary; (D that non-spanish combatants be with drawn from Spanish territory; t6) that measures of security be adopted in the Mediterranean be extended to Spain and that Spain be assured her legitimate participation in them"
 Submit To Committee
 Then he asked that tho assembly submit the Spanish appeal to it's sixth committee, which deals with political matters.
 "On the decisions of this assem- bly," he said solemnly in closing, the eyes of the Spanish people are anxiouSly fixed, and with them the attention of the whole world"
 Negrin was bitter in his denun- ciations of his governments enc emies.
 International highwaymen" he shouted contemptuously of Premier Benito Mussoltai of Italy and Fuehrer Adolf Hitler of Germany.
 "The civil war has become an in- vasion," he said.
 He warned Great Britain and France of the dangers that would face them If the NationaliSts won the war. He pointed to the Balearic Islands of Spain's Mediterranean coast-an ideal submarine base di- rectly on the line of French com- munications to Africa.

 He Warns France
 Next he warned France of the danger to her of the pyrenees, for tified against her. Those countries which lacked certain raw materials he meant Italy and Germany could get them from the Basque country adjoining France if the Nationalists won.
 And feed the furnaces of war;" he added.
 He asked that France abandon her neutrality control on the Loyalist frontier.
 "Non~ intervention is dead, but its unburied corpse keep the interna- tional atmosphere poisoned" he said. Perhaps the announcement that the naval neutrality patrol is to be withdrawn will constitute the next to last step toward its final burial.
 You will not be able to bribe the rebels to drive out Italy and Ger many after the war" he warned Britain and France.
 '"The friendsip of Germany and Italy for the rebels is nothing more than an occupational pact.
 Only Innocent Shut EyS
 "It is only the incorrigibiy in- nocent who shut their eyes to the significance of Spain for Germany and Italy .in their plans for Euro- pean ggression-who can console themselves with the thought that even if the rebels win the offer for assistance in their financial straits would be sufficient to snatch them from the clutches of their masters or that as c last resort the masters could be seduced by compensation in some other part of the world"
 Following Negrin's speech, Delbos. the French foreign ministre. appeal. ed for respect for treaties. and then warned that the world was on the road to the abyss--and that France could not leave that road. the road to war. unless others did.
