Insurgent Protest

Salamanca, Apr. 25. The Insurgent Junta, at Burgos has protested energetically to Great Britain, accusing British worships.of flagrant violation of the principle of neutrality by intervening between cargo, ships, running the Bilbao blockade, and the Insurgent cruiser Almirante Cervera.

The Insurgent Junta requests

measures to prevent repetition of such inciderrts.

The note evidently related to the action of H.M.S. Hood, six miles off Bilbao Saturday, when she warned the Almirante Cervera against inter- fering with British ships outside the

territorial Spanish

limits.

The

Spanish ship had fred across the bows of the foodship McGregor, one of the three vessels which had been held up at St. Jean de Luz, fearing the risk of capture by the Insurgents was too great to be run.-Reuter.

Kurt Schuschulgg, the Italian Dictator, Signor Benito Musso- lini, this morning meets General Herman Goering, the German Air Minister, who is now recog- nised as Dictator Hitler's envoy in dealing with Spanish affairs,

It is belleved both statesmen are perturbed at the inability of General Francisco Franco to win the civil war, and relatives of Italian volunteers are known to be restless and anxious to see their fighting men again...

The German four-year plan will doubtless be broached during the con-, versations between Goering and Mussolini, for Goering is in charge of it, and Italy is co-operating with bim.

Both countries are finding difficulty In finding raw materials necessary to re-armament, especially steel. This. may be another topic for discussion.
