WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-!P)-
Without legal means to enforce
: American neutrality, the adminls-
, tratlon tonight depended upon its
, "scrupulous n o n - intervention
pronouncement to preserve a
strictly "hands-off policy in the
"United. States toward the Spanish
revolt.
. Official elaboration waa with
held on the state department's an
nouncement that this government
v would maintain "a -completely im
partial" attitude toward the dis-
turbance. But well-informed sour
. 1 ces ascribed the action to two out-
standing motives:
1. -To prevent as far as poesl-
' ble. any material American aid
from reaching either side in the
Spanish hostilities lest it involve
; this country in possible compllca-
. tior.s abroad.
2. To refrain from Interfering
; with the efforts of other nations
to localize the Spanish civil war.
; The state department revealed
jthat the French government in-
formally was keeping Washington
'closely laformed of its effort to
create an international neutrality
bloc in the Spanish crisis. It was
stated officially, however, that
this government had not been In
- Tited to cooperate in the under
takings. -
