WASHINGTON ALOOF.
NO CHANGE IN POLICY. WASHINGTON. June 1.” Senator W. E. Borah asserted that the German bombardment of Almeria amounted to an act of war. He demanded that the United States apply the recent neutrality law to all participants. The Spanish Embassy announced its intention of asking the United States to express its attitude to the bombardment. * In the meantime there is no indication of a change in the American Government’s policy of non-intervention. The Secretary of State, Mr Cordell Hull, refused to comment on Mr Borah’s statement. Mr Hull said: “With dictatorship, war is always an immediate possibility. Dictators regard their people as so much fuel to feed the war furnace. It is our duty to remain completely aloof.” He indicated that no request had been made to the United States to apply ail arms embargo on Germany.
