BRITISH POLICY
ATTACKS ON SHIPS GOVERNMENT OPINION DIVIDED United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. . LONDON, June 24. _ The correspondent of the AustraHan Associated Press states that the Government's majority on the subject of attacks on British shipping in Spain was one of the smallest on a major issue of the present Parliament. (The voting was 275 to 141.) The division lists reveal many Coif servative abstentions. Uneasiness is spreading through* out the Government ranks as the result of the ceaseless and definite bombing. The Government supporters have no desire to harass Mr. Chamber' lain, but are divided into two camps. One accepts Mr. Chamberlain's policy that intervention means war and consoles itself with the reassurance that ships enter Spanish waters at their own risk, the owner* and crews earning large profits. The other camp is deeply distressed and anxious that Mr. Chamberlain should restore British prestige and discover an effective counter without risking war.
