The statement wa. expected to follow closely the original proposal submitted to France and Britain by the United States a ¦ few days ago. The marin change wa. believed to be substitution, at French re¬ quest, of the term "republican re¬ gime" for the original "intern regime" which the three power;; will urge Spaniard, to e.tabli.h for themselves and to which they will pledge their aid. The declaration, however, wa.s expected to fall short of satisfying French CJommunists, who still are demanding a complete break wltli (Generalissimo Francisco Franco. It was also thought unlikely to gel more than a lukewarm reception from follower, of Jo.e GIral y Per- elra, premier of the exiled Spanl.li P.epublican government.
