(Eeceived 1, 12.30 p.m.) GENVEA, Sept. 30. After a two-day 's deadloek, the Draf ting Committee appointed as a result of the Spanish appeal reaehed agreement on the text of a resolution which envisages the end of non-interventioir unless foreigners are withdrawn.

The resolution expresses the hope that diplomatic action initiated by certain Powers will be successful . in securing the complete withdrawal of non-Span-iards. ' If they are not withdrawn very soon the League will consider ending non-interventiou.

The poliey outlined will be found to follow that consistently advocated by the British Govelnment not only in diplomatic exchanges but in Ministerial Btatements in Parliament and the Govcrnment's recommendations to the NonIntervention Committee. The viewpoints of the British and French Governmonts are known to bo close, and it is considered certain in London that the Note will delivered in Eome before the end of the week.
