A reinforced German battle fleet

their determined move to stop Soviet
ships from running munitions to the

Italian political circles considered
the sudden decision of Premier Mus
solini as, in effect, clamping down the
Intellectual blockade which 1nsurgent
Generalissimo Francisco Franco had
attempted to establish on the Mediter-
ranean coast of Spain.
1t was understood here, although
without confirmatio that the blockade
units would use such force as was
necessary to keep contraband of war
from reaching the armies which are
fighting to put down Frances armed
bid for power. The insurgent Franco
regime is recognized by both Germany

Duce Flies to Rome.
Premier Mussolini flew back to
Rome last night at the controls of his
own plane to assume charge Of the
rapidly developing situation. He had
been resting near his birthplace,
where tradition has it he always goes
before making important decisions.
Ostensibly, II Duce returned to his
capital to meet Gen. Werner Won
Blomberg, German minister of war,
whose arrival this afternoon set in
motion series of important confer
ences and gigantic naval review at
Gaeta as demonstration of Italian
sea power.
Won Blomberg, arriving at Littorio
Airport by plane from Berlin, was
greeted by II Duce, Count Galeazzo
Ciano, Italian foreign minister;
Ulrich Won HaSsell, German Ambassa-
dor to Rome, and commanders of the
Italian Air Corps.

Naval officers insisted the crews
have been summoned for the review
and not because of any Spanish de-
velopment. Nevertheless, they con-
ceded that they were prepared for
any eventuality.
The prime purpose of the display
was said to be to impress Germany
with Italy's sea strength at time

minimizing the military power of the
Reich's running mates.
