DAMAGED WARSHIP.
BLAME LAID ON MINE
(British Official Wireless.) Received June 8, 11.55 a.m. RUGBY, June 7
The Financial Secretary to the Admiralty (Mr Shakespeare), in the House of Commons in reply to a question said that a report upon the damage to H.M.S. Hunter had been received. He considered that the report confirmed the statement previously made attributing the damage to a mine, and it was highly probable that the mine was moored.
Mr Shakespeare added that a protest had placed on record the view of the Government that mine-laying on the high seas could not be recognised as legitimate in the circumstances of the present conflict in Spain.
HOPEFUL SIGN,
GERMANY MAY ACT AGAIN
Received June 8, 11.35 a.m. BERLIN, June 7. The Ambassador to Britain (Herr Joachim Von Ribbentrop). will see Herr Hitler to-day. Well-informed circles are of the opinion that Germany will have re-entered the NonIntervention ‘Committee before the week-end.
