Mr. Eden sald 456 children had been evacuated to St. Jean de Luz from Elbao by two British des- troyers, and the Spanish Govern- ment had conveyed to His Ma- jesty's Representative at Valencia their thanks for this action. Since the outbreak of the war, as a re- 'sult of the untiring activities of His Majesty's diplomatic and con- sular representatives, His Majesty's ships had evacuated about 17,000 Spanish and other foreign nation- als from ports on the north coast of Spain alone. This evacuation had been conducted on a basis of strict impartiality, regardless of the political or other views held by those evacuated.
Three hundred refugees, mostly from the Chilean Embassy at Mad-- rld, were evacuated from Valencia to Marseilles in His Majesty's hos- pital ship Maine on March 30. Following the efforts of His Ma jesty's Ambassador at Hendaye and the British Consul at Santander, hostages held in the prison ship
the requirements prescribed by the All-India Congress Committee.
FRONTIER TROUBLE Regarding situation on North- west Frontler, Mr. Butler said considerable unrest continued in the northern part of Waziristan. On March 29 units which were protecting the passage of a con- voy on a road between Bannu and Razmak were attacked by large forces of tribesmen whom they re- pulsed with heavy losses.
