FORCED TO RESIGN
BELGIAN PREMIER
SPANISH POLICY CONDEMNED
BY HIS PARTY
MOTION CARRIED
(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.) (Received December 6, 1.10 p.m.) BRUSSELS, December 5. As was anticipated, the Government's proposal to send a commercial delegate to the Spanish rebel Government, which would be tantamount to recognising General Franco's Administration, has proved a rock on which it has been split, and the Prime Minister, M. Spaak, who tried to sidetrack the issue, now offers his resignation. He is compelled to do so by twothirds of the Socialist Congress condemning his Spanish policy on a motion emphasising that the sending of a representative to Burgos would not procure appreciable advantages, quite apart from the fact that the audacity of foreign aggression in Spain precluded the Labour Party subscribing to such an embassage. M. Spaak made an impassioned appeal not to force the resignation of Cabinet. M. Albert Janssen, who reorganised) Austria's finances after the war, has} been appointed Minister of Finance in succession to M. Gerard.
