REVIEW OF SITUATION

IN SPANISH WAR

Mr. Anchony Eden's Speech In Commons

London, May 6. The situation at Barcelona, the bombing of Guernica, the working of the Non-Intervention Agree-

ment and the possibilities of me- dlation in the Spanish civil war were among the subjects touched upon by the Foreign Secretary in a speech just before Commons rose tor the Whitsun. recess. Mr. Eden referred to the improvement in the atmosphere of Europe which had been noticeable and deplored the tendency of recent days for the renewal of bad feeling arising from the Spanish war.

t

If the opportunity, were lost through passions mounting over Spain, It would be a tragedy. The British Government occupying

what it must retain-a more de- bated position than other nations in Europe-must continue to use its whole effluence to circumscribe the strife to limit its suffering and he hoped one day to help to bring it to an end. There was an op- portunity for a far-reaching inter- national effort If the great powers would collaborate first in bringing peace to Spain.

DEPLORABLE EXAMPLE Guernica: Mr. Eden sald, shared the feelings deeply not only in Britain but in the Dominions, the United States and elsewhere. It was not that the incident was uni.. que because there had been other examples of the use of aircraft by both sides against the civilian populations, but that the reports of the bombing and machine-gun- ning from the air provided a par- ticularly deplorable example. He wanted the other nations to un- derstand the feelings aroused here. but he had no thought for putting any other country in the dock.or making accusatioris against any

As to the International inquiry he thought the dificulties were great but the British Government wer prepared to co-operate and ne would like to see the small neutral states try to carry it out.
