RELATIONS WITH SPAIN
OBSERVATIONS BY BRITISH PREMIER REFERENCES TO ASSOCIATION IN PAST. NO COUNTRY MORE IN NEED OF PEACE. (British Official Wirc'less.) (Received This Day, 11.15 a.m.) RUGBY, October 8. The main part of Mr Churchill'? speech in the House of Commons was devoted to the balance of advantage in the struggle for air mastery, but he also had something to say about Spain. Referring to the hesitations which had been apparent for some months past, he continued: “We have always wished well to the Spanish people and in a glorious period of her history we stood between Spain and foreign domination. There is no country in the world more in need of peace, food, and prosperous trade than this Spain, which has been torn and tormented by the devastation of civil war into which the Spanish people had been thrown by a series of incidents and misunderstandings, and from, the ruins of which they must rebuild their united national life in dignity, mercy and honour.”
