Britain Hones For Quick End to Insur- gent Shipping At- tacks

LDNDON, June 20-(A.P.)—-Alc- tion in Home and Burgos tonight raised British hopm that. insurgent air raids on British ships trading with Government Spain might be ended soon.

Informed quarters said Bir Robert M. Hodgson.

These sources said Franco's note.

orm persons e - oubt that Britain would accept Franco's tenns. Some quarters pinned their faith on Premier Mussolinfs inter- cession with Franco on behalf of “ieizitlmatc" British shipping which was disclosed in Rome.

Ordered to Maliorca

Another new factor in the tang- led situation was the sudden order- ing of the British destroyers Imo- gen and Isis from Gibraltar to Maliorca. Franco's Balearic Island air base. The admiralty called it a "routine" movement in - action with the Mediterranean "Piracy"

patrol.

While warships may visit Mallorca

at any time, the move was con- strued widely as a "gesture" for the benefit of Franco and to quiet anti- govemment clamor in the House of Commons, (Haves News Agency said some quarters forecast that signatories of the Nyon Anti-Piracy accord might soon call upon Great Britain to protect shipping in the zone as- signed to it for patrol, in view of Insurgent interference with mer- chant vessels under British or other foreign colors.)
