Grave Crisis (Copyright 1936 by United Press) London. Oct. 8 — (U.R) —Soviet I Russia, angered at alleged Fascist aid to the Spanish insurgents, plunged Europe into a grave crisis today. Diplomatic sources at Geneva, where the league of nations assembly is meeting, reported that I unless the alleged fascist aid stopped at once, Russia was ready to speed airplanes and other war materials to the leftist Spanish government. •Such action would be a direct challenge to Germany and Italy. It would precipitate a situation which Europe's statesmen, already arming for a war. were reluctant .to face. After one protest yesterday, the Russian government sent a second one today directly charging Portugal with violation of neutrality agreements and demanding that: “In order that an investigation as exhaustible as possible may be made (of the situation), first, an impartial commission be sent to ■ the Spain-Portugal border to ini vestigate on the spot the true state of affairs there; and second--Ily the commission leave htere ( some of its members to see that i the non-intervention agreement is . fulfilled in future.” Botli notes were communicated to interested nations. Tomorrow may see a violent scene here in which Russia will be aligned against the fascist powers—ltaly, Germany and Portugal who, she charges directly, are aiding the Spanish rebels against the constituted govern ment of the country. Then the 27 nations on the international committee of nonintervention in the Spanish war meet—ironically, in the ‘ Locarno” room of the foreign office, christened because it was there that the Locarno treaty, designed to inaugurate an era of friendship and (CONTINUED ON PAGE?
