Advice For Chamberlain

Accentuated with gestures. Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain recently received some advice from his alstcr-ln-law, Lady Austen Chamberlain, as he left No. 10 Downing St. Mr. Chamberlain is now in the second year of his premiership.

OTTAWA, June 13 —(CP)—A violent hurricane lashed the sen- ate tonight, blowing. appropriately enough, around ships and ship- ping, Its centrewas I-Iomwillism Duff (Lib. Lunenburg). and its cause some remarks he had made last Wednesday night about trans- port minister Howe.

Before it subsided the chamber was told the minister had (I I past occasion called the senator "a damned big windbag."

“Instead of knocking him down as .1 should have." said Mr. Duff, "I just walked sway.”

The tempest developed when. on a. question of rivilcge, govern- ment leader Dan ursnd drew the house's atuntion to “some dis- paraging remsr " msde by Mr. Duff about the minister. Quoting from Hansard. the Government leader cited the senator‘: ob- servation aa follows:

"Much worse than the Chinese who are retreating day by d8! from the Jspone. much worse than the ards who srs ro- treatlng from the Ineprgente, the minister of u u retreated all along the line this your and last year. because all he hsd in mind when he nrtroduced the legislation was the protection o! certain interests on the Crest Lakes in which he wss interested.”

‘The legislation referred to wss mo government's transport bill.

Rising to reply, Senator Duff expressed resentment no notice had been given him by Mr. Dand- urand that this matter was to be brought up. In the House of Com- mons. where he had sat for 21 sessions, such acourtesy was nor- mslly accorded to a member.

The Senator denied he had said the ministag was "financlalh; in- terested" in Great Lakes shipping. There was not c. word in I-Iansard to support such a statement.

Hon. James Murdock (Lib. Ot- tswa) interupted at this poiritand I'd-read the Hansard extract.

"I don't take back one word of what the Government leader rend," Benstor Duff said. "I said the Minister of Transport was in- terestod in this bill because it would help certain interests an the Crest Lakes.”

The Minister had retreated when the bill was in conference. But, the senator repented. Mr- Dmdur- lnd hsd quoted him as having said the minister was financlslb interested.

The Government leader pro- tested. The minister hsd drawn the conclusion that was what Senator Duff had meant.

"He can draw along bow if he with w." retorted Mr. Duff. “What I sm talking about is wrist he laid."

If the minister hsd ‘common lltss he would keel! quiet about the matter, Mr. Duff said. A privy councillor and minister of tbs crown should be s rnsn of may and he should not "lo about moss psrllsincnt buildings calling s slnstor s damned big wlndbsg."

Premier Chamberlain Prepares Statement On Spain For Com- mons.

LONDON, June 13-40.?)- Prime Minister Chamberlain pre- pared today to meet parliamentary opposition arising from the bomb- ing of British ships In Spain. He conferred at length with Foreign Secretary Viscount Halifax and other aides.

With the reassembly of parlia- ment tomorrow after a fortnight’! vv ltsuntide recess ,there was every prospect of lengthy questlc-nln about Spanish Insurgent. air boon- bardments of seven British vessels and the British-owned port of Gandia on the Mediterranean.

The government was expected to take no aggressive step against In- surgent General Frzmco because 0f the bombings last week, but an at- tempt may be made to work put s system of neutral zones for foreign shipping to Spanish government ports which do not handle wsr ma

Austrian Debt Issue

A statement was awaited also

regarding Germany's refusal to as- sume responsibility for Austria's external debts following the Austro- Genman union of March 13 Ger- many was understood to have sent London a memorandum to this ef- fect but not closing the door to conversations about the loans. r (Representatives of eight nut-- ions. which in 1838 guaranteed bonds for a $50,000,000 Austrian loan. voted Saturday to protest unanimously against Germany's stand that she was under “no l a1 obligation” to assume the debts.

The Times, independent. said editorially a cabinet reshuffle was needed because “there is widespread feeling that more use will have to be made in the end of available talents and that the cohesion and strength of the government rest too much on the shoulders of Mr. Chamberlain."

Informed sources stated a new British protest on the ship bomb- ings was handed to Insurgent auth-

orities durin the week end y Robert odgson. British agent at Burgos.

In a verbal reply, it was under- stood. the Insurgents declared the vessels concerned had "usuriped" British nationality and had fown the Union Jack to benefit from its Privileges. The Insurgents were understood to have given Sir Rob- ert a list of the bombed vessels. with the nature of their cargoes and the reported non-British origin of the ships.

committed To Trial In Alleged Attempt To Kidnap Viscount

OXFORD, England, June l3—(C_ P.)——Trlal of John Bruce Thornton on charges arising from an alleged attempt to kidnap Viscount Nui- field. automobile manufacturer and philanthropist, will be held during the Birmingham Autumn assizes.

He was committed for trial to- day after pleading not. guilty to charges of inciting Major Arthur Ramsden to take part in a kidnap conspiracy and illegal possession of firearms. Major Ramsden is chief prosecution witness against the 50- year-old accused.

Defence counsel indicated the probable defence when they told the court of the scheme was “a mad-headed, laughable one," and suggested Thornton was merely boasting to Major Ramsden or urg- ing him to make the attempt in hope of getting a reward from Lord Nuffield.

Major Ramsden, a former royal artillery officer, testified at a ltear- ing last Thursday that Thornton planned to disguise himself, force the motor manufacturer on a yacht and obtain a letter of credit for 100,000 pounds ($500,000) through threats of’ a surgical operation.

shattered the final remnants

of resistance and announced

total occupation by 7:15 o'clock last night.

The Insurgents preceded capture of the town by taking Grao de Castellon, the Port of Castellon de la Plana. For- mal eniry into the town, with blaring bands and parades,

The army continued its advance beyond Castelion. 40 miles northof Valencia, establishing the new front before Aimozaro. four miles below Caetellcn. and cutting com- munications with Villareal, five miles south of this city.

The Government retreat was effected in disorder, but without panic, the Insurgent high com- mand stated. Most of Castellons civilian population remained in the city. it added.
