This clearly indicated that such "other countries" as Belgium and Portugal are in for much diplomatic unpleasantness from now on, but the Prime Minister also spoke in such a way as to hint that Britain and France will try to coax the colonial issue into much the same state of interminable negotiation as Nonintervention in Spain (TIME, Nov. 15 et ante). Off the record, nearly every British or Continental statesman will today admit that so-called Non-intervention has been a sorry process of seeing that Spain's civil war is dragged out as long as possible, thus avoiding...
