ATTACKS ON SHIPS
SPANISH WATERS
PROTEST BY BRITISH
CREWS
(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (Received May 10, 9 a.m.)
LONDON, May 9. The masters of thirteen British merchantmen, including the Stancroft, the Slanbrook, and the Greatend, anchored at Valencia, have telegraphed to the Foreign Office as follows:—
"If British ships are to trade to Spain under the Non-intervention Agreement it is necessary that a neutral zone be allotted in every harbour for the handling of legitimate cargo. Attacks on British shipping are now ruthless and absolutely deliberate, the latest example being the Greatend, which is now sinking. The personnel and crews of the British ships in the harbour, numbering 400, join in the protest and earnestly desiie immediate action."
