Hope Of Nazi Agreement to Nom Inter
venti0n Seen Threatened,

Hope Of Nazi Agreement to Non Inter
vention Seen Threatened.
LONDON. January 2 lP British
oficial circles were reported today to
consider the German governments
seizure of Spanish Socialist steamer
a grave threat to all hope Of Nazi
agreement to non-intervention in
Spain.
The retaliatory action was viewed
as possible warning Of a disappoint-
ingly unco-operative answer from
Chancellor Hitler to join the Anglo
French demand for banning the flow
Of volunteers to the Spanish civil con-
flict.
The German action. retaliating for
the capture of the Nazi freighter Palos
by the Spanish government, was con.
trasted with British calm in the face
Of the stopping of British steamer
by Spanish insurgent vessel.
No drastic representations, 1t was
said. were contemplated as a result of
an insurgent trawlers halting the Eng
lish steamer Etrib with blank warn
ing shot in the Straits of Gibraltar.
Ship Permitted to Proceed.
Advices to Lloyds said the Etrib, en-
route from Haifa to Liverpool, was
permitted to proceed after the ships
captain had refused TO submit his pa
pers to the insurgent commander.
British warships, guarding English
shipping in Spanish waters. were or
dered to be on the alert, but no other
action was indicated.
Although 1t was feared non-inter-
vention efforts might fail. the foreign
ofIice sent undisclosed suggestions to
both the Socialist and Fascist Spanish
authorities looking to bar arms imports
for both sides.
Diplomatic sources were perturbed
by Berlin reports the German foreign
minister had told the British and
French Ambassadors it was too late"
to stop volunteers.
A strong reason for the German suo-
port OF the insurgents was said to be
fear that Communist victory in
Spain would endanger Portugal and
Reich efforts TO secure a part of Al
| rican Angola for which 1t has been
negotiating with the Portuguese gov
ernmem.
