OUTRAGE BY GERMANY
LOYALIST CHARGE
"FLAGRANT AGGRESSION"
GENEVA, June I.
The representative of the Spanish Government to the League of Nations, Senor del Vayo, reported to the League a statement that on Saturday afternoon two aeroplanes reconnoitring rebel centres at Ibiza were fired on by a German warship. Spanish aircraft retaliated by bombing the .aggressor. The Spanish Government immediately announced this fact, whereas the German Government waited for twentyfour hours to announce that the Deutchsland had been bombed.
The Note then declares that the bombardment of Almeria was a flagrant aggression and the greatest outrage against a sovereign State of all the acts of aggression committed by the German fleet since it intervened in
Spain. The Note adds that in view of the exceptional gravity of the act decided on by Germany, the Spanish Government, alter long deliberation, and also in view of the announcement that Germany is dispatching more warships to Spain, asks that this communication be transmitted to members of the League.
