BRITISH SHIPS IN SPAIN
MEASURES AGAINST BOMBING RETALIATION MAY BE ORDERED EUROPEAN TENSION THOUGHT TO BE EASIER (UNITED press association—copyright.) (Received June 2, 2 p.m.) LONDON, June 1. ' The Australian Associated Press understands that, as an outcome of a review of the foreign situation, the Cabinet has decided: (1) To take strong measures against General Franco’s continued attacks on British ships, and even to retaliate if n cessary. (2) To open up conversations with Germany for a European appeasement if the Czechoslovakian problem is satisfactorily settled. It is gathered that the European situation is regarded as considerably easier. The Spanish conflict continued to be a formidable obstacle to European tranquillity. The Government considers that th>~ most satisfactory solution would be a truce, followed by round-table negotiations. Accordingly, it is watching for an opportunity for British initiative in conjunction
with other Powers. TWO HUNDRED DEAD AT GRENOLLERS FIVE HUNDRED INJURED IN AIR RAID (Received June 2, 5.5 p.m.) GRENOLLERS, June 1. Two hundred were killed and 500 injured in the air raid on Tuesday, Fifty were killed in the marketplace.
