SOLUTION OF CRISIS
IS LEFT TO BRITAIN
Powers Stay DeadIocked
on Patrol Question-France
May Open Border.
By the Associated Press.

!
LONDON, July 9.-Great Britain
was.intrusted with finding a quick So
luton OF the present deadlock over the
Spanish non-intervention scheme
tonight after France had threatened to
suspend frontier patrols Monday along
the Pyrenees
France threatened to thus open the
Spanish border to arms traffic on Mon
day unless the non- intervention equi-
hbrium was restored.
An afternoon session of the Non-in-
tervention COMMITTEE ended with the
participating nations still deadlocked
and without any useful suggestion for
compromise being advanced.
Britain, whose proposal that she and
France take over the entire internA-
tional naval patrol around Spain was
turned down by Germany and Italy,
had looked to those two nations for
new proposals on how . non -interven-
tion program could be effectively car
ried out.
It was understood the Netherlands
representative had proposed that Lord
Plymouth, chairman Of the non-in-
tervention group. again try to find =
solution of the problem.
Hence. once again, Britain will be
playing the familiar role OF trying to
keep the Spanish civil war confined
to Spain.
The French Ambassador to Lon
don, Charles Corbin, was understood
to have declared that his government
would end the system Of international
frontier supervision between France
and Spain the first Of next week un-
less the gaps In the sea patrol were
restored or British observers were re-
turned to their functions on the Port
uguese frontier
Britain and France acted to restore
the naval patrol to its full power after
Germany and Italy withdrew their
warships because of Spanish govern
ment attacks on them.
Opening Of the French frontier
along the Pyrenees would clear the
way for the Spanish government to
obtain arms and men by that route
Portugal already had withdrawn her
observers along the Spanish frontier
adjacent to insurgent territory and
has suspended facilities for aiding
British observers.
