DENY FORMAL
war ALLIANCE
Being FORMED
Only Further "Aggres.
sions" Will Bring Drastic
Steps, Belief
MORE NAZI U-BOATS
BEING DISPATCHED

ROME, June 3 (UP).-Premier
Benito Mussolini and the German
war minister, Field Marshal Wer-
ner Won Blomberg, last night dis
cussed the possibility of open war;
fare against Loyalist Spain in the
event of another aggressive" i'll
cident.
1t was reported that Mussolini
already was massing men and ma
terials for large scale intervention
in Spain-an action that might
easily plunge Europe into a gen.
eral war.
Chancellor Adolf Hitler Of Ger
many, working in concert with II
Duce, held his greatest warships
in readiness for action.
Italy and Germany were said
by diplomats to be planning mill
tary action against the Loyalist
government at Valencia-and per-
haps ultimately against the Loyal
lists Red Russian allies-if the
London non-intervention commit
tee or Valencia fails to prevent
further "aggressions."
Another incident such as the
bombings of the Nazi pocket"
battleship Deutschland at lviza
and the Italian naval auxiliary
ship Barletta at Palma de Majorca
will be met with armed action,
the government-controlled Italian
press said.
Out of the conversations Of
Mussolini and Blomberg, who few
here from Berlin with Hitler's
last-minute instructions, was eX-
pected to come Qualification of the
Nazi-Fascist position in regard TO
foreign vessels, particularly Rus
sian ships, carrying men and mu-
nitions to Loyalist ports.
AS Blomberg arrived in Rome
Hitler dispatched four submarines
the U-28, U-33, U-34 and U-35
to Spanish Mediterranean waters,
augmenting his fleet already
there.
Although Italy and Germany
have withdrawn from the interna-
tional naval patrol Of Spanish
coasts they will continue to exer-
else port control, at the request
of Great Britain, to prevent mill
tary aid from reaching the Loyal
lists, it was announced.
1t was denied that Italy and
Germany contemplated negotiat-
ing a formal military alliance but
it was evident, for the moment at
least, that Germany ard Italy are
organizing their diplomatic and
military moves in unison regard
ing Spain.
Blomberg will inspect represen-
tative units Of all branches of the
Italian army and air force and
will be guest of honor at naval
review off Gaeta, above Naples on
the west coast.
Blomberg and Mussolini last
night discussed the Hypothetical"
possibilities of joint Italian-Ger-
man military and naval action
against the Valencia government
in event Of further attacks Oh
Italian or German vessels.
They also discussed closer Cos
operation between the ordnance
departments of their armed force

Rev. Robert Anderson Jardine.
English vicar. married the Duke
of Windsor and Mrs. Wallis War
field today despite protests by the
Church of England that he was
without authority and that the re-
ligiouS ceremony would be a sham.
The stocky, gray-haired poor

Yorkshire, dehed the power Of the
Church of England.
IL am going through with the
ceremony regardless of the pro-
tests" he had said Il few hours
before the marriage in answer TO
the Bishop of Fulham's statement
that Jardine was without "EpiSco-
pal license or consent to officiate
at the wedding.
Two hundred and fifty extra
police guards were on duty at the
Chateau de Cande where the civil
and religious ceremonies united
the famous couple.
After the civil service, in the
chateau's salon, the Rev. Jardine
performed the religious ceremony
i'm the music room before an inn
provised altar made of an old oak
chest and a white sheet pressed
into service as an altar cloth. A
cross was hastily ordered from
Paris.
While British officialdom, which
has sought consistently TO oStra-
else the wedding, and the English
church which barred any of Its
members from marrying the for
mer king and his American-born
divorce, had virtually ignored
the approaching ceremony. the
Rev. Jardine left his Darlington
parish and travelled here alone.
