WASHINGTON, Dec. 81 Up -
American food shipments to hungry
Spain now depend, it was learned
authoritatively today, on whether

nefinite progress has been made
IN negotiations under way in Wash

# four months, it was stated but
final decision may not be made
rrtil Viscount Halifax, the new
British ambassador, arrives here soon
after the new year.
Informed sources disclosed that
discussions about food shipments
have fluctuated from favorable to
unfavorable with changes in the
International situation during the
mast four months-and still depend
on the role Spain assumes in threat
ening developments taking shape in
the Mediterranean.
Spanish officials approached AL
exander Weddell, ambassador to
Madrid, early in September, it was
learned, seeking an arrangement by
which Spain, impoverished by the
long civil war, could secure Ameri-
can assistance in rehabilitating the
country.
(Secretary of State Hull has stat
ed several times that the question
Of aiding Spain involves only pos
sible shipments of goods and that
the United States has never consid-
cred making a cash loan to the
Spanish government.)
The United States, it was learned,
in pursuance of its traditional poll
cy of extending relief to meet urgent
human needs" offered to send ship
ments of foodstuffs Immediately. and
to discuss the question of raw ma
terials shipments, if the Spanish
government would provide assur-
ances of a more friendly policy to-
