London, July 24.
The Spanish civil war has suddenly acquired_inter- national significance. "British Guns Manned at Gibral- tar" is a typical London newspaper heading, and denotes the British concern over the bomb-dropping in the vicinity of British liners.
Anxiety exists as to the fate of innumerable foreign holiday-malcers in Spain, which is accentuated by the well- authenticated reports relating to the severity of the war- fare and the shocking death roll. The dramatic diplomatic appeal to Washington to send a warship to San Sebastian, the popular holiday resort which is rumoured to be ablaze after a bombardment by a Spanish warship, has added to the weight of apprehension.
Moreover, the British Foreign Office has been unable to make contact with Sir Henry Chilton for several days.
There is bitter controversy in France over reports that the Spanish Government having requested French Air Force assistance, M. Leon Blum, the Leftist Prime Minis- ter decided to despatch four big bombers to Madrid.
