Geneva, May 21.
At to-day's public meeting of the Council of the League of Na- tions, Senor Del Vayu, the Spanish Government's delegate, vigorously attasked the polley of non-intervention, and asked the League la re- store the right of the Spanish Government to buy war materials.
Referring to Italo-German intervention In Spain, Senor Del Vayo said the Spanish Government was willing to permit any investiga- tions the Council, might wish to make with a view to establish. ing the exactness of his charges. ›

“As regards the first three raids, the Government does not "possess reliable information proving that the British ships were deliberately attacked. As far as the fourth | ∙rald is concerned. the Government, however, come to the conclusion that it was a deliberate attack."
SUPPORTED BY FACTS
Mr. Butler Sointed out that this Inference was drawn from the following facts:
1. The aeroplanes flew at ex- tremely low altitude;

2. The captians of the ships re- ported in a telegram that Nationalist planes carried out re- connoitring fights over the "ships on the morning of the same day when the raid was carried out.
In view of these circumstances, said Mr. Butler, the British Government decided to lodge a protest in Burgos and to demand that the Nationalists should hold an inquiry into the incident with- out delay. (Transocean).
