BRITAIN BLAMED

GERMAN PRESS VIEWS “Committee Dynamited” Press Association —Copyright. London, July 2. Mr R. A. Eden stated "In the House of Commons that there was no question of an agreement granting belligerent rights being reached at to-day’s meeting of the Non-Intervention Committee. The Government rwould continue to press for the -Withdrawal of foreign combatants. He was not in a position to make a statement about the Government's policy in the event of non-intervention breaking down. Mr Lloyd George: “As a moat serious decision vitally affecting British interests may be taken before the House reassembles on Monday will Mr Eden make a statement this afternoon?” Mr Eden: “If I can, but I doubt whether it is possible to say anything beyond the committee’s communique until Cabinet considers the situation. The French Ambassador. M. Corbin, conferred with Lord Ptymodth before the meeting of the Non-Intervention Committee. Herr von Ribbentrop was an early arrival for the committee’s meeting, accompanied by the Embassy counsellor Herr Woermann, whb arrived by air from Berlin with Herr Hitler’s instructions. At Berlin, Sir Neville Henderson called on Baron von Neurath. The German Press throws the whole blame tor the crisis on Britain, accusing her of dynamiting the Non-Intervention Committee by threatening to supply arms to the Spanish Loyalists.
