M.P.S' INDIGNATION
INTERVENTION IN SPAIN
RECENT DISCLOSURES
(British Official Wireless.)
LONDON, June 14,
The indignation which has been aroused among members of Parliament by the cynical disclosure by certain foreign Governments of the extent of their intervention in the Spanish war—intervention which they publicly disclaimed at the time of its occurrence —continues to be expressed in questions asked in the House of Commons.
The Prime Minister was asked today, in connection with Herr Hitler's recent speech to returning "volunteers," if Britain contemplated making a protest against this misleading of the Nonintervention Committee.
The Foreign Under-Secretary, Mr. R. A. Butler, who replied for Mr. Chamberlain, said the answer was in the negative, since Germany must be well aware of Britain's views. Mr. Butler declined, as serving no useful purpose, to raise afresh with the League of Nations the question of foreign intervention in Spain.
He ignored a Labour interjection asking the Government to keep these disclosures in mind as bearing on the trust to be reposed in assurances received from the same quarters in future.
