PARII IIIIAIIIIAY SPANISH GIIVT APPEALS lil Ii E N E V-A Italian Warships At- tacking Merchant Vessels Is Claim. GENEVA. Aug. 23-IAP) - The h Spanish Government asked thc League of Nations today to stop "t e criminal conduct of the Ital- ian Government inattackingspan- ish merchant vessels". Although the appeal was filed under the League of Nations cov- enant article which permits rt niembernation to sunimun a meet- ing of the council, Government Spain left with the president of the council the decision on whe- ther a meeting would be called. The protest declared the situa- tion was becoming so grave that another "incident" such as the sinking of Spanish merchant ships might touch off a “general con- migration". (An Italian official inRomc said Italy`s attitude _would be to ig- nore the protest. He said Italy could not take seriously "constant accusations from Valencia by it government not recognized by this iiation.") Article XI of the Leagues cov- enant, whicn the Spanish Govern- ment invoked, provides that the League “shall take any action that may be deemed wise_._to safe- guard the peace of nations", Peace has been threatened by "incidents" in the Mediterranean, Spain declared. The Spanish Gov- ernment asked the League to act before it was too late. The Spanish appeal refcrrc particularly to sinking of the gov- ernment tanker Canipcador on Aug. 12 and death of several of its crew. There was no doubt, ihc protest said. that the Cnmpeacior was "attacked liy Italian wnrsliips"..'\nd that four of the crew were killed by machine gun bullets fired by two Italian destroyers. It also referred to tlie sinking: of the Conde de Absoio. the Ciudad de Cadiz. and the Amuru. $1 S Briilsh Freightcr Bombed PORT VENDRES_ France, Aug. PAVINH III BE INNDIERTAIHEN.
