FORCED TO RESIGN
BELGIAN PREMIER FALLS ON SPANISH POLICY RECOGNITION OF FRANCO DENOUNCED. AUDACITY OF FOREIGN AGGRESSION. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day. 1.15 p.m.) BRUSSELS, December 5. As anticipated, the Government's proposal to send a commercial delegate to the Spanish rebel government, which would be tantamount to recognising the Franco administration, proved to be the rock on which it split.
The Premier, M. Spaak, who tried to side-track the issue, now offers his resignation, being compelled to do this by two-thirds 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 audacity of foreign aggression in Spain, which precluded the Labour Party from subscribing to such an embassage. When the resolution was passed, M. Spaak made an impassioned appeal not to force the resignation of the whole Cabinet.
