INTERNATIONAL CBMPLIGATIUNS

(A. P. By Guardiuru special Wire)

PARIS, Aug. 3.—ilrance tonight held herself ready to move war sup- plies into Spain if her proposed neutrality agreement with Great Britain and Itlly is $1; accepted quickly. _ France does not consider herself bound in any way to reject Bplnish orders for munitions, officials said. but prefers to enter an agreement with other nations against furnish- ing either rebels or Loyalists with any supplies.

Acceptance of the agreement, in- formed sources said, was expected tomorrow from Great Britain but there are no indication when the Italian Government would reply.

Earlier, the French Government had indicated a hope to augment the three-power pact. binding the lreat powers of the Mediterranean to keep out of Spain's war, to in. clude Germany. Russia and other nations.

Frznce foresees the danger of de- lacy. informed circles stated. They II ded that some orders likely will be filled shortly if the agreement is liel d up. The danger. it was ex- plained, would lie in the possibility all interested powers might send supplies to sides they favored with the possibility of serious interna- tional complications.

“Our hands are free," one official said. “It. isn't a case of Just fining orders pending since before the re- bellion. if the Madrid Government telephoned an order for planes or ammunition today or tomorrow we are free to fill it.

“This doesn't mean we intend to do so within such a short time. But if assurances of a hands of! policy me not forthcoming, filling of some orders shortly should not cause sur- prise."

Bracken Said Likely To L e a d Liberal- Progressive - Con- servative Merger.

WINNIEG. Aug. 3—A Liberal- Progresslve-Conservative coalition Government for Manitoba loomed ‘as a possibility tonight after the ,statemcnt of Errlck Willis, Con-

to receive written "suggestlcns” from Premier Bracken tomorrow.

Premier Bracken declined to confirm or deny published reports 0! possible coalition of his govern- ment with one of the opposition groups. but said all phases of the situation brought about by last Mondays indecisive balloting had been considered in caucus.

How They atand

Liberal-Progressive forces won 22 seats, Conservatives 16. Co- operative Commonwealth Feder- ation. six. Social Credit five, In- dependents. three and Communist one. In two constituencies, The Pas. where the Premier is a can- didate. and Rupert's Land, elect- ions wcro deferred until August 21. In discussing a news story pub- lished by the Winnipeg. Tribune. which reported that caucuses oi Liberal-Progressive and Conserv- ative members-elect would discuss coalition this week, Mr. Willis said he would receive the Premier's let- tar tomorrow and place the sug- gestions it contained before Con- servative members-elect; in callous. At the same time he stated he had not committed himself to any coal- ition proposal. Decision would be left to his supporters.

Held Conference

The Tribune story said the load- ers of the two parties and some of their lieutenants had met and dis- cussed terms and that Mr. Willis would submit a. plan of coalition government to Conservatives to- marrow and Premier Bracken would lay a proposal for union with Conservatives before Liberal- Progressive members Wednesday. The tentative plan to be consid- ered. according to the Tribune contemplates continuance in of- fice of Mr. Bracken as Premier. with a division of portfolios. it also embraces a division of rep- resentation in the two northern seats where deferred elections are to be held.

Mr. Bracken. it continues, would be given an acclamation at The Pu and possibly W. W. Kennedy. K. C, former member of parlia- ment for Winnipeif South Centre. in Rupert‘: land.

BOIS. France. Aug. 3—!‘lve thousand Canadian war veterans attended a banquet here tonight and heard former French premier Joswph Paul-Boncour declare: "Them will be no respect for in- ternational law without inter- notional force."

Chancellor Adolf Hitler already has rearmed, introduced conscrip- tion to bring his Army up to 600,- 000 instead of the prescribed 100,- 000 created an air force, reoccupicd the Rhineland, and is refortifylng the Rhlneland and the North Sea island of Heligoiand.

Germany ceded much of the territory now forming Pomona (the Polish Corridor to the sea) which cuts off East Prussia from the Fatherland. There has been continual friction over the frontiers of the strip of land called the "gangway of Mars."

statesmen of other countries question the Reich's future course. Some of them have asked:

Will Germany always be content to have the Pomorze cut her ter- ritory in two?
