PATROL, POWERS’ RIGHT TO RETALIATE
CtVIL WAR
Immediate Self-Defence Allowed iUnited Press Assoclation.—By Electric Te legraph. — Copyright. 3 (Received 11 a.m.) LONDON, June 11. The 'chief preoccupation in recent weeks in connection with the naval patrol scheme has been the solution of difficulties arising from an attack on patrol ships, so that, the position could be restored and the British Government has not, therefore, found an occasion to take a definite line regarding amendments to the scheme. The crux of the question is the right of patrolling warships to retaliate, should they be attacked by Spanish forces. This, it is understood, has been settled by admitting the right :of immediate self-de-fence, but stipulating that there should be ho subsequent reprisals, without prior consultation airiOhg the ' four patrolling Powers.
Reply To Russan Note. Captain Euan Wallace, acting-chair-man of the Non-Intervention Committee, ih replying to the Russian Note, pointed out that, in the British view, the procedure does not infringe the right of the committee, which did not dissent oh Monday when Britain, suggested that the four patrolling Powers should discuss guarantees ensuring safety. Moreover, M. Maisky, Soviet Ambassador, has been' informed that the discussions would be confined to guarantees. , ■
