RUSSIA’S REQUEST.

British Fleet To Help End Franco’s Piracy.

Press Association—Copyright. London, January 11,

The Soviet, says the Daily Herald’s diplomatic correspondent, has asked that the British fleet participate in international action to end the piratical activities of General Franco’s warships in the Mediterranean.

The replies of the five Governments to the British communication urging international action to end the piratical activities of General Franco’s warships in the Mediterranean.

The replies of the five Governments to the British urging simultaneous and immediate action to check the dispatch of volunteers to Spain are now awaited in view of the acceptance in principle already given and the almost unanimous insistence on the importance of the matter.

Early and favourable replies, wnich in the case of France have teen already foreshadowed, are anticipated. The announcement of the intention to enforce the Foreign Enlistment Act in Britain will doubtless be followed by positive measures of an analogous nature in other countries.
