H.E.'S STATEMENT TO
COUNCIL
APPARENT SOURCE OF EPIDEMIC TRACED TO MILK
His Excellency the Governor, Sir Andrew Caldecott, made a. special statement at the meeting of the Legislative Council this i afternoon, on the serious matter of the epidemic of dysentery with which the Colony has been visited in recent weeks. There was also laid on the Council table a report by the Director of Medical Services dealing with the outbreak of the disease and the steps taken to combat H.
His Excellency stated that he had inferred as a reasonable inference" from the obtainable data, and exercising his reason to the best of his care and conscience, that the "main immediate source of infection lay in milk (probably a single batch of milk) supplied from the farmi depot of the Dairy Farm, Ice and Cold Storage Co., Ltd.”

BELLIGERENT RIGHTS WITHHELD FROM BOTH PARTIES TO CONFLICT
London, To-day."
The Foreign Secretary, Mr. Anthony Eden, announced in the House of Commons yesterday that the Government intended to introduce legislation immediately rendering the carriage of arms to Spain by British ships legal. Mr. Eden added that the Government's policy was to take no part in the Spanish wär and to give no assistance to either side. The Government had no present intention of according belligerent rights at sea to either side. Consequently British warships will, if necessary, "protect merchant ships on the high seas against interference by ships of either outside the three-mile limit.
The dangerous international situation in Spain was reflect- ed at question-time in the House of Commons yesterday, when the Foreign Secretary was the buit of numerous enquiries. After defining the Government's policy of strict neutrality and the other projected steps, he said that when the French Ambassador exiled on him yesterday morning he informed him of the intended British polley. Within the previous 24 hours the French GOT- ernment has expressed a desire for the non-intervention commit- tee to continue. The Foreign Office had not yet received a notï- fication that the rebel Forces intended to blockade any ports. Mr. Eden made it clear that the right" to search within the three- mile limit was different from that outáile.
