CONFLICT IN SPAIN -MR. CHAMBERLAIN’S VIEW A HINT TO GERMANY (British Official Wireless.) Reed. 1.15 p.m. RUGBY, July 8. Referring to the international situation in a speech at the Albert Hall, the Prime Minister, Mr. Neville Chamberlain, emphasised that Britain's policy in regard to Spain remained unchanged, namely, to prevent the conflict from spreading. He considered that the difficulties would immediately be relieved if they could agree to the withdrawal of foreign volunteers, leaving Spain to settle her own future. The troubles that have arisen out of civil war in Spain were only a by-product of the deeper causes of unrest in Europe. “I had hoped,” Mr. Chamberlain continued, ‘'that the projected visit of the German Foreign Minister to London would have furnished an opportunity for _ exploring- these difficult problems in a friendly, helpful, spirit. I place great reliance upon personal contacts between influential statesmen, and I fully share the hope of Mr. Anthony Eden that some other occasion will present itself for discussions," Mr. Chamberlain exemplified the ease with which countries could reach an agreement if they were animated by the right spirit by citing the recent Imperial Conference.
