LoyoGsts' Surrender

PERPIGNAN, France, Feb. Z (P.-
An end to the civil war which has
paralized Spain and endangered the
peace of Europe for 80 months ap-
peared imminent today.
DR.. Juan Negrin. premier of gov
ernment Spain, and his last die
hard supporters were reported in
diplomatic circles to be swinging
around to the view that they must
yield.
President Manuel AZana aban-
doned all appearances of clinging
to his post as chief executive of the
republic. After coming to France
Sunday and staying a day near the
frontier he went to French retreat
at Collonges, close to Geneva.
Fighting in Northern Spain ap-
peared to be over.
Insurgent Generalissimo Francisco
Franco checked the pace of his
armies marching through the north
eastern province of Catalonia toward
the French frontier to permit
columns of defeated government
troops and refugees to withdraw into
France.
Negrin was still in Spain this
morning, but diplomatic sources said
he was bending all his efforts toward
orderly evacuation of his northern
troops and the escape of refugees
who had not yet crossed the border.

PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE Spanish re-
publican government has not left
Spanish territory and has no inten-
ton of leaving Spanish territory so
long as there is territory to defend"
That was the substance OF a
statement made to this correspond
ent today by Foreign Minister Julio
Alvarez Del Vayo. speaking over the
long distance telephone from Per-
pignan in Southern France, where
he had gone for a few hours to ne
gotiate with the French authorities.
Del Vayo, who is returning to
Figueras in Catalonia today, said:
The campaign to make the world
believe that we are deserting our
country is abominable and is in
spired by our enemies. Tonight
from FugueraS I intend to issue an
official statement stating the facts.
Meanwhile, you can tell the Amer
leans that Premier DR.. Juan Negrln
and I do not dream of leaving Spain.
We shall remain in Catalonia so
long as there is anything to do here.
Then we shall 60 to Central Spain,
where we still hold quarter of the
national territory, and shall con-
tinue to struggle. The Spanish re-
public is not whipped yet.
This prompt reply cuts short the
campaign in what is commonly con-
sidered the inspired French press
to the effect that since the Span
ish government has left national
territory, it no longer has the right
to be considered the government"
If the French republic wishes to
drop the Spanish republic, it will
have to find a new preteXt since
