had been advised by a reliable
authority that the county commits

France plans to press Britain for
a quick agreement on some form

Both France and Britain are
extremely worried over the latest

quick action to prevent a state
of naval piracy from developing.
Britain is lodging a sharp pro-
test with Spanish insurgents over
action of a trawler in firing on
the British steamer Black Hill.
The British ambassador In
Spain is in touch with insurgent
authorities at Salamanca and has
been instructed to demand an
apology as well as assurances that
there will be no repetition Of the
incident.
Otherwise, it was said, the Brit
ish government will be compelled
to send additional warships to
Spanish waters to protect British
shipping. No compensation has
been demanded, since the Black
Hill was not hit, .'.

Mexico Forbids
Arms Trans-shipment
BY ROBERT G. NIXON

A grave threat to the United
States course of non-intervention
in the Spanish civil war-the
tranS-shipment Of war planes 20
the loyalist government through
Mexico-was baniShed today.
The Mexican government
pledged that no airplane or other
war materials originating in the
United States will be permitted TO
pass through its territory en- route
to Spain.
The Mexican note eased official
anxiety over the effort Of private
dealers to ship 13 planes pur.
chased In the United States to
Spain on the Spanish vessel Mo
tomar from Vera Cruz.
The Mexican communication
made public by Acting Secretary
Of State r. Walton Moore stated:
"The government of Mexico
has indeed supplied war mater.
ials of its own to the govern
ment Of Spain; however, with
regard to war materials Of
foreign origin it has been its un-
alterable position that it would
not serve as intermediary If the
government of the nation con.
cerned did not furnish its full
consent thereto.
Firmly in accordance with
this line of conduct, the Mex
lean authorities will not permit
airplanes or any other war ma
terizl whatever coming from the
United States to be sent through
Mexico, even in the case Of ac-
QUESTIONS made by corporations
or private parties"

BERLIN, Jan. 4 QNS0
Smartly uniformed officers OF
Gen. Francisco Frances insurgent
Spanish troops mingled with the
crowds on Berlin'S thoroughtares
today as the fleets Of Germany
and Spain engaged in a series OF
retaliatory measures off the Span

to an already war-jittery world.
Bluntly ordering its warshlps to
halt "all Spanish red ships" for
the present, the foreign office con-
firmed seizure Of the Spanish mer-
chant vessel, Marta Junquera, by
the Nazi cruiser KoenigSberg IN

The German press, which last
week played down" the Spanish
naval incidents, burst forth today
with Page One resumes, together
with allegations loyalist Spain had
again violated sovereign rights
by halting the German steamer
Pluto north of Bilbao on Decem-
ber 20.
This sudden journalistic activity
was considered in some quarters
as the first step in gaining public
support for a firm German hand
in Spain. Along with the naval In
cidents, newspapers attacked the
Spaniards for execution Of Lothar

serving with Frances troops.
