HOUSE OF COMMONS. SPANISH WAR. Refuse To Fight Hideous New Type of War.' Press Association—Copyright. Received 11.30 a.m. London, February 19. One hundred Cambridge undergraduates, including ten ture-rooms and laboratories to women, hurried from the lecinvade the lobbies of the House of Commons. Every college and all shades of political opinion* were represented. They declared that they were disgusted at the attitude of the Government towards Spain.” “We have the right to protest because our lives in the future are at stake. We refuse to fight the hideous new type of war in which rebellion is secretly financed from the outside, and demand the withdrawal of all foreign troops, including Moors, from Spain.”
Most members of the House of Commons seemed too busy to see the undergraduates, but finally Colonel A. AVinterton came out and said: “You can thank your lucky stars, my children, that you are British. All we have to do is to keep out.”
Oxford and London University undergraduates are preparing similar demonstrations.
