Makes Bristling, Surprise Declaration ' British Hopes for Four Power Pact Endangered By the Associated rrm Bain mlrod the Spanish civil war today, and the war Inturn, with Its ramifications, threatened to bog down efforts at appeasement among the great powers In Europe. Prance and Italy, on "opposite sides of the barricades," In Spain, to quote Premier Mussolini, seemed on the verge of a breakdown In their nego tlatlons for a new friendship pact. Premier Edouard Daladier made a surprising, bristling declaration of Prance's determination to defend her frontiers against "all attempts at Tlolenco" as Italian efforta to rup ture Prance's ties with Soviet Rus sia raised new obstacles to an ac cord. British Hopes Dimmed moreover British hopes for a new for-power security pact In Europe were endangered by the same train of circumstances. Through Foreign Secretary Viscount Halifax, "realistic" Prime Minister Chamberlain specifically has mode appeasement of Germany a primary objective of British foreign policy. ' The Chamberlain government would "like to see removed all causes of mistrust and suspicion that may be held to stand In the way of com- j plete understanding between our selves and Germany," Halifax told the house of lords yesterday. German appeasement Is perhaps the most elusive of all the Jigsaw pieces to be fitted Into the pattern of a British-engineered pact to em brace Italy, Germany, Franco and Britain to the exclusion or Soviet Russia. Anna shipments Irk But even Britain's partnership 1 with Prance and Prance's attempts to strike a bargain with Italy were threatened by French sympathy for the Barcelona government and Prance's mutunl assistance pact with Russia, The direct cause of the present deadlock In French-Italian friend ship talks wss reported to be the eontlnued shipment of arms through Prance to the Spanish republican forces and an Italian demand that Prance Bbrogate her Russian ties. While Europe thus blossomed with new makings of war, Mexico's Presi dent Cardenas sought to put down the possibility of Internal revolt sim ilar to Spain's. Cardenas, at San Luis Potosl, demanded that General Sa turnlno Cedtllo. free lance strong man, surrender his srms and his peasant army to the government. Livestock Portland PORTLAND, Ore., May 19.
