LONDON. April 28 -- The Royal Academy today ordered removal of a pruning from its annual exhibit- ion because it looked too much like former King Edward VIII.

Moser denied the picture refer- red in any way to the former king. He said it. was painted two years igo. "It does not represent any liv- ing person," he asserted. "The noun on the man's head is purely tynibolical of man's supposed sup- eriority over birds and beasts."

Earlier today, it was learned that the Duke's portrait had been re- iwred from the liner Queen Mary ind replaced by one of the King ind Queen.

To get a clear picture of the ﬂood results. a committee of Red Cross workers visited the areas to- day. A formal statement which followed said: "We were appalled at conditions in the homes of London west and estimate it will be at least three weeks before the residents of these houses will be able to again occupy them.

"The Red Cross committee rec- ommends to the executive that a minimum of 8200.000 in cash must be raised. Urgent action is neces- sary as the committee must. func- tion immediately in innumerable cases where destitution is appar- ent."

To dale the Red Cross Society has raised 835.000 to aid the desti- tute. 400 of whom are being ‘fed daily at the armories.

Hitler Offered Basques Sep. Peace, Olaim

M. Piccavea Accuses Ger- mans Of Attempting To Get Control Of Wealthy Iron Mines.

(A. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

PARIS, April 28—M. Piccavea, president of the Spanish Basque delegation in Park, tonight as- serted Reichsfuehrer Hitler six weeks ago offered the Basques a

separate peace in the Spanish civil I

war, threatening a “pitlless war" if they did not agree. ‘

He accused Germans of at- tempting to get Basque iron ores.

“A month and a half ago," Pic- caves said, “an authorized repre- sentative of Hitler Jnade several offers of a separate peace to a representative of the Basque Gov- ernment.

"Hitler's conﬁdential agent ac- companied the offers with a threat to wage a pltiless war against the Basques if they refused.

“We refused. The conversations were held in Paris."

He reiterated Basque accus- ations that the presentgspanish insurgent offensive in the Basque countiy, aimed at the port of Bilbao, was directed by a German general staff to which reveral It- alian officers were attached.

"It is a German war against the Basques," M. Plccavea said, “with the object of getting con- trol of our wealthy iron mines, which are the purest in Europe."

BERLIN, April 28—The Gov- CITHIIBIIFCOIHFOIIBG German press tonight voiced angry protests ag- ainst foreign "legends" that the Basque city of Guemica. had been

destroyed by Spanish insurgent war planes piloted by German flier;

Apparently acting under official orders. the newspaper charged the reports were "Bolshevist lies des- tined to sway public opinion.”

The press compared reports of the "Guernica legend" with the destruction of Eibar which they charged had been put to the torch by the "l-teds" (government troops) before they evacuated the city.

"Part of the foreign pres is seeking to turn public opinion with these odious foreign facts," the Berliner Tageblatt declaredWWhen one considers that hundreds of Soviet planes are operating in the Bolshevlst camp this manoeuvre is too absurd to produce the desired effect.”

BILBAO. April M-"Before God and before history I declare that for 3 i-Z hours German planes bombarded the dcfenceless popula- tion of Guernica with inconceiv- nble rclentlessness." Basque Presi- dent Juan Antonio Aguirre declar- ed tonight in protest against charg- es that the historic city had been put to the torch by retreating Basque soldiers.

H: offered the testimony of scores of foreign newspapermen and- consular officials to uphold his charges that". the city had been de- stroyed by Insurgent aircraft.

He appealed to foreign powers to come to lhc assistance of 300,000 women and children refugees in this besieged , capital.

"I ask nothing for the men," Aguirre declared, "because we must face the greatest. sacrifices with calm and cool-headednees."

The six-month interim period before the divorce could become final ended yesterday.

A solicitors clerk ﬂied the not- ice in the customary way. Issu- ance of the final decree will be a. routine matter Tuesday if no un- forseen hitch develops. something Mrs. Simpson's iawyiers believe is beyond the realm of probability.

The Duke of Windsor and Mrs. Siivpson, in separate retreats on the continent at St. Wolfgang, Austria. and Monts, France. re- mained silent on what plans they have for a reunion and for their marriage.

A Southampton newspaper. the southern Daily Echo. said today it learned “exclusively from most re- liable sources" that a Coronation day wedding was being considered by the Duke. No deﬁnite decision has been reached on the matter. the newspaper declared.
