NO REPLY EXPECTED

France demanded membership
as a matter of pride and prestige.
Italy said she must be represented
if France is. And the circle con-
tinued with the Soviets insisting
on representation if Italy is on the
committee.
Tomorrow the full committee
meets again, and all indications
are that no reply at all, not even
negative, will have been received
from Tokyo.
JpaneSe diplomatic quarters in
Brussels were blunt in their pre-
dictions that Tokyo's note will be
in the form Of a stern mo" on
the ground frequently voiced by
Japan that no outside interference
can be considered.

ITALY RECALLS
THOUSANDS ON
SPANISH FRONT
Il Duce'S Move Held
Counter to Census
By KTNGsBuRY SMITH

LONDON, Nov. 8 I.N.S0 AS
silently as they were sent, from
10000 to $4,000 Italian "volun-
teers" have been, withdrawn from
Spain, it was confirmeU in diplo-
matte quarters here today.
Even while the non-intervention
commission in London was FUN
bling futilely with the problem Of
Withdrawals and threats were
being hurled over conference
tables, Premier Mussolini was
quietly reducing his support for
the insurgents.
BID TO FRANCE
His astonishing move will doubt
less mean that France will not
carry out her threat to throw
open the Spanish frontier for a
tide of aid to the Spanish
loyaliSts.
Still II Duce is taking no chances
on a loyalist victory. His move
was mainly motivated by conf
dence that Insurgent General
iSsimo Francisco Franco can now
win the war with less help. But
most of the recalled troops are
being sent to Libya, not home.
There they will be held in constant
readiness to dash back to Spain if
Francois position should become
precarious.
Diplomatic quarters believe Mus
solini plans to reduce his forces in
Spain to around 10000 in the event
the census" commission which
the non-intervention body proposes
to send to Spain is actually dis
patched.
ADMIT TO 10000
Italy admits to the presence OF
10000 troops in Spain. Other
sources place the number at 10000
to 10000, and the loyalists have
even charged that 100000 Italians
fought against them.
Even General Frances head
quarters in London admits that
withdrawals run into the thou
sands"
Most Of the recalls are reported
to have been infantry units,
which Franco is no longer con.
sidered to need, in view of the re-
lease of 100000 insurgents from
the northwestern front with the
fall of Gijon.
The 10000 which Mussolini Is
believed planning to leave there
are mostly tank, artillery, aviation,
and technical units.

Even if Japan did accept, pres

by pickering among its members.
This was shown today when at
