REPORTS TO BRITAIN
DESTRUCTION OF GUERNICA
(British Official Wireless.) (Received May,4, 2.25 p.m.)
RUGBY, May 3.
Questioned in the House of Commons on the reported bombing of Guernica, the Foreign Secretary replied: "A telegram was sent on Friday last to his Majesty's Ambassador and to the Consul at Bilbao requesting them to forward as soon as possible any information which might assist in establishing the facts regarding the destruction of Guernica. The replies are _ still being received, and my information is not yet complete. I am, therefore, not in a position to make a considered statement on this subject today. His Majesty's Government has,, however, already expressed its views on the general question of the bombardment of civilian populations of which the destruction of Guernica furnishes so deplorable an example. As I intimated to the House on Friday, his Majesty's Government is considering what steps can be taken in co-opera-tion with other Powers to prevent a recurrence of such happenings."
