CHAMBERLAIN ON BOMBING
a
London, To-day. Regarding the rumours of direct texchange of views between Mr. Chamberlain and Musso- lini on subject of the bombing of British ships in Spanish Republican ports, it is stated in well-informed quarters that the British Pre- mier addressed on Saturday morning an urgent telegram to the Duce and that he received the same day a reply couched in very friendly terms. It is affirmed that Mussolini has promised to do everything in his power to induce General. Franco to abstain in the future from attacks on British ships.
Although *no information is vouchsafed by official circles, it is not denied that the exchange of telegrams took place. In view of this exchange, much surprise has been caused here by the reports of further bombings of British steam- ers at Valencia and Alicante. The steamer "Arlon". was bombed at Valencia. The steamer "Farnham" was bombed at Alicante. In both cases, members of the crew are alleged to have been killed.
No opinion so far is forthcoming on the matter in official quarters.
