Ambassador and Litvinov

Talk Two Hours to Impasse.

MOSCOW, Feb. 23 (U. P.).—New demands by Japan in the Siberian fisheries dispute have been rejected by Russia, it was indicated today w-after a two-hour conference between Foreign Commissar Maxim Litvinov and Japanese Ambassador Shigenori Togo. _ Japanese sources said that the result of the talk was unsatisfac‘tory and that further discussions would be held, though no date had

been set for them. Ambassador Togo informed Commissar Litvinov that Japan refused to participate in an auction for Si» berian - fishing concessions which Russia proposes to hold March 15, Seeks Further Parleys. He was said to have demanded .that fishing concessions which Russia had withdrawn, on the ground ‘that the waters in question must be restricted in the interests: of national defense, be made subject to further negotiations. It was reported without confirmation that he also informed Russia that the Japanese Government would protect Japanese fishing rights and would use every means to do so. Both officials asked each other to report back to their Governments on the situation, including the attitude of public opinion in'the respective countries over the long and ipbitter dispute regarding Japanese fishing concessions in. Russian waters. Demands Believed Refused

All this was taken to mean that Ambassador Togo had presented the “important” demands which were sent to him by his Government, and that Commissiar Litvinov had rejected them as he had done previous demands. A little more than two months remains to effect a settlement of the fisheries dispute, before the ! 1 fishing season starts May 1.

(Editorial, Page 14) By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer : WASHINGTON, - Feb. 23.—Both Senators VanNuys and Minton (D. Ind.) are agreed today that Senator Pittman (D.

France and Britain Due To Pick New Envoys Tomorrow. |

LONDON, Feb. 23 (U. P.).—Great Britain and France have reached a final agreement to accord unconditional legal recognition to the Franco Government in Spain, it was understood today. The Daily Express reported that the British Government might make its announcement of recognition in the House of Commons today or tomorrow, by announcing fhe name of its first Ambassador to the Rebels. The Cabinet, at its regular meeting yesterday, was understood to have given Prime Minister Chamberlain a free hand to announce recogntion at any time. Apparently, as it was working in co-operation with France, the Government awaited a report from Paris that the French special envoy to Gen. Franco, Senator Leon Berard, had concluded final conversations with Francisco Gomez ister. Senator Berard was at Jordana, the Franco Foreign MinBurgos, the Rebel seat of Government, awaiting Senator Jordana's

Final Talks Scheduled

However, reports from Paris indicated that Senator Berard’s new talks with Senor Jordana would be a mere formality and that France, as well as Britain, was reconciled to

granting full de jure or legal recognition to the Franco regime as the Government of Spain. Today's reports from Paris were that Senator Berard was authorized to advise the Rebels that France was ready to recognize them and that it should not take more than an hour's conference with Senor| Jordana to settle the whole matter. There were reports both here and in Paris that though the Rebels had refused to give any public assurances, they had privately given some of importance. It was said, for instance, that without. promising to refrain from reprisals, the Rebels had said that they would be fair in judging those of their enemies whom ‘they succeeded in seizing. , Meanwhile, for the first time since the Palestine conference opened 16 days ago, representatives of Arab States neighboring Palestine met in informal talks with Jews in St. James’ palace today.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 23 (U. P.).— The Government, resuming its prosecution of three persons charged with espionage, was expected to reveal today the identity of persons suspected of gathering American de-

ROME, Feb. 23 (U. P.)—Pascist newspapers published reports today of an allegéd British plan to solve the French-Italian dispute as Count Galeazzo Ciano, Foreign Minister and son-in-law of Premier Mussolini, prepared to leave for Warsaw to visit Col.
