Representations Made To Britain Re Non- Intervention.

(OP. By Guardian's Special Wire)

LONDON. April government protested and Greet Britain tonight against continuation of their non-interven- tion policy with lts “appalling and dangerous injustice."

The Government note recalled Spain's message of March 23 charg- ing a renewal of German and Ital- ian aid to Spanish Insurgent arm- ies which now have split Catalonia from the rest of Government Spain.

Agitation grew in some quarters in Wales for a national cool strike to demand ll» government drop its “Hand of Spain” policy and allow the Spanish Government to buy British munitions. The move- ment wes started by a number of Welsh veterans of the Spanish Government's International Bri- gade who returned wounded from Spain.

It was dismissed today at a. meellng of the executive council of the Miners’ Federation. Oliver Har- ris. general secretary of the feder- ation. declared the miners would be willing to participate in such a strike “if there is fairly general support for this policy among the trs/de unions." .

UnicJ. labor policies, meanwhile, touched British domestic and for- elgn problems at another point.

Cautious labor leaders avoided commitment to the government's plans ;or speeding up armaments production. Despite pleas by Sir Thomas Iinsklp, Minister of De- fence Coordination, officials of the Amalgamated Engineering Uaon

declined to make any frame to pledges to the Rover-hm . _ “Ilia-w mit- ‘ ,-. ex» péditc production by inducing the
