Criticisms By Lord Nuffield

SIR THOMAS INSKIP ISSUES STATEMENT

London, Te-day.

The Minister for the Co- ordination of Defence, Sir Thomas Inskip, in a speech at Hayling Island yesterday. re- ferred to the long statement is- sued by Lord Nuffield on Thurs- day, explaining the reasons for the withdrawal of the Wolseley Co. from the Government's "shadow" aero-engines' manu- facture scheme, in which Lord Nuffield expressed severe criti- cism of the Government's atti- tude, declaring that at the close of an interview he with Lord Swinton, Air Minis- ter, he remarked: "Well, God help you in case of war."

Sir Thomas said he regretted the unfortunate difference of opinion between Lord Swinton and Lord Nuffield, and emphasis. ed that Lord Swinton had left nothing undone in the way of enterprise research or the utilising of the resources of aircraft manu- facturers.

Madrid, To-day.

The letter says that the Soviet cannot consider itself beand by the agreement to any greater extent than the remaining parti- cipants. In adhering to the agreement the Soviet expected that the agreement would be fulfilled by the participants and as a re- sult of this, that the period of the civil war in Spain would be shortened and the number of victims reduced.

But the time that has elapsed has shown that the agreement is being systematically violated by a number of participants, the supply of arms to the rebels continues unpunished, while the legi- timate Government of Spain has turned out to be, in fact under a boycott and deprived of the facilities to purchase arms outside Spain for the defence of the Spanish people,, - 4.
