This feeling of dismay has not been lessened by the policy of re- Lallation which was immediately adopted by the German Govern- ment and which is deplored here. Britain has, in the course of the @panish civil war, suffered a great deal of provocation from both sides and while occasion has been taken, when necessary, to make clear that any persistence in deliberate at tacks will be resisted, each of the long series leading up to and in- cluding the dropping of bomba by government planes only a few days ago in the neighbourhood of Bri- tish and Italian warships, has been followed up by diplomatic action and in no instance has there been recourse to reprisals.

Asked by Mr. R: C. Attlee, leader of the Labour Opposition, whether he had any statement to make en the bombing of the German battle- ship Deutschland, Mr. Eden said he understood the ship was bombed while she was at anchor..

Paris, May 31. Judging from the message issued by the "Agence, Radio," France is inclined to take the view that the "Deutschland Incident". Is a mat- ter that primarily concerns Ger- many and not so much the Non- Intervention Committee. It is, nevertheless, suggested that, the Non-Intervention authorities might very well institute an investiga- tion in the matter.

In sharp contradiction to this point of view the Paris Conserva- tive papers are of opinion that Moscow and Valencia conspired to bring about the incident Transocean News Service.
