NOT DUMMIES
SEA CAPTAINS TRADING TO SPAIN SLIGHTING REFERENCE RESENTED. SIR R. KEYES INTERVIEWED. By Telegraph—Press Association. Copyright. (Recd This Day, 12.10 p.m.) LONDON, July 5. While Lord Halifax and Sir Robert Hodgson were calling on Mr Neville Chamberlain, Admiral Sir Roger - Keyes, received at the House of Commons three indignant sea captains, who bitterly complained of his recent reference to “dummy captains of British ships trading to Spain. They were Lewis Llewellyn, Master of the Stanhope; D. Jones, Master of the Stanwell —both of which were bombed—and Mr David Lloyd, Marine Superintendent of the Stanhope Steamship Company. Captain Llewellyn declared that the reference to dummy captains had encouraged General Franco to bomb genuine British ships. All resented the 'suggestion that Spanishbound British ships were not manned by Britishers. Captain Jones cited being bombed with a crew of forty-two Britons. Admiral Keyes explained that his remarks referred only to one vessel. Subsequently British seamen from bombed ships waited on members in the Lobbies, as a protest against criticisms of British ships trading to Spain.
