VOLUNTEERS BANNED

NON-INTERVENTION.

SURPRISE DECISION

Believed To Be Result Of Threat By France.

Press Association—Copyright. London, February 15. The Non-Intervention Committee today agreed to ban at midnight on February 20 the access of volunteers to Spain, also that a control scheme providing a naval cordon round Spain to prevent the entry of arms and volunteers and the reporting of breaches to the London committee should operate at midnight on March 6. Signor Grand! withdrew the reservations notified to the sub-committee that Italy would agree to an immediate ban contingent on other Posters doing likewise. A full meeting of the committee will be held to-morrow to accept the recommendations.

The Morning Post’s diplomatic correspondent says that the unexpected decision of the committee was largely due to the French representative’s vigorous' opening speech emphasising that France a month ago offered, to impose a volunteer ban. Unless the others were now willing to do the same France must draw its own conclusions and act accordingly. Therefore the proposed ban should be fixed to operate by the week-end; otherwise France would adopt her own measures to protect French interests in Spain and elsewhere. It is widely believed that M. Corbin’s diplomatic language concealed a threat to march two French divisions' to Spain and finish the civil wtar in a fortnight unless the other Powers stopped interfering.
