ATTACKS ON SHIPS
BRITISH OWNERS REFUSE PRIVATE INQUIRY HAMPERING RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED PROTEST TO PRIME MINISTER LONDON, August 12. British shipowners trading to Spain, at a meeting in London today, rejected the Foreign Office’s proposal for an inquiry into the bombing of British ships in Spanish ports, on the ground that it had been ascertained that any inquiry would be private, and conducted on insurgent territory, and that British shipowners would be excluded. Evidence from persons residing in Spanish territory, it was learned would be “inadvisable.” General Franco, furthermore, had given no promise to pay compensation. The meeting dedided to send a deputation to the Prime Minister to protest concerning the procedure which, it is claimed, is unknown to legal practice and contrary to all international justice.
