Schemes to Avert Further Incidents PENALTIES ASKED

(By

(Received 4, 8.45 a.m.) LONDON, June 3. The British Government's view is that the international crisis, produced by the bombing of the German battleship Deutschland by the Spanish Government planes and the shelling of the Spanish port of Almeria by German warships, has ended. The Manchester Guardian's diplomatic correspondent says that plans are now being considered for averting further incidents and their consequences, but the c.ommittee for nonintervention in Spain will not meet until concrete proposals have emerged. The British Government, according to the Morning Post, is still working on the idea of extended safety-zones, but the high feeling that is running among other members of the nonintervention committee is proving an obstacle to progress. The Daily Telegraph says that Italy and Germany are preesing for prearranged penalties to be imposed by the four fleets on non-intervention patrol acting eancertedly, but this is not acceptable to England and France who favour, instead, some arrangements for an immediate consultation on the epot between officers of the four fleets, if a vessel belonging to any of them is molested. The News Chronicle says that the important thing is that Italy and Ger-. many both seem anxious to reBume co-operation with the London committee.
