Spurred more than ever by au
thoritative reports of a German
Moroccan incursion threatening
both the future of Gibraltar and a
French colonial border, Great Brit
ain and France drove ahead toward
localizing Spain's war today,
They wanted direct action; a
quick, practical plan to keep for
eign armg and men from making
the civil conflict into even more
of a “little world war.”
French officials announced em
phatically they could never permit
Germany to gain a foothold in
Spanish Morocco, where thousands
of Germans were reported to have
conducted a virtual military and
commercial invasion.
Rival Fortifications
France and Great Britain, iln
earnest consultation, have heard
that German-supervised fortifica
tions are going up at Ceuta to rival
those of Gibraltar, 14 miles across
the straits; that Germans have
obtained from Spanish insurgent
rules of the Moroccan zone num
erous concessions which wiil give
the land-poor third reich a colonial
wedge.
French officials, announcing
Great Britain wag in full accord
said they would press for an im
mediate consultation of neutrality
powers to stop foreign interven
tion in Spain, in the face of Italo-
German “acceptance in principle”
of a Franco-Britlyn proposal to
stop international volunteers from
going to the war,
Many Difficulties
Difficulties lay ahead, however,
in the matter of meeting the Ger
man and Italian suggestions for
ejection of both eoreign fighters
and foreign “agitators” already in
Spain. The Reich’s fire was di
rected principally at Marcel Rosen
berg, Soviet ambassador to the
Spanish Valencia government.
Imminent concentrations of Brit

waters off Spain, as well as French
consideration of plans to send

CHICAGO — (#) — Balmy tem-

Northern states east of the Miss

raing while snow blotched the
western half of tne continent.
Seven deaths attributed to the
weather were recorded — four in

in California.
Snow stormg and icy highways
brought traffic to a standstill in
many sections. The heaviest snow
fall in two decades kept motor-1

Nebraska roads recently cleared of
snow became impassable with
newly formed drifts.
The mild temperatures of the
east were unwelcome to many who
attributed excessive influenza and
pneumonia cases to the warm, wet|
weather. It was warm and foggy
in Marylanc¢, balmy in West Vir-l

With certain exceptions, Mr.

Then, after forecasting a new

“It is my conviction that if every
