British Stand Opposing Spanish Government Violence Against Neutral Shipping Believed Step to Bring Germany and Italy Back Into Nomlntervention Committee\u2014Germany Regards Deutschland Incident as Closed.London, June 1.\u2014Great Britain joined Germany and Italy today in protesting Spanish Government violence against neutral shipping\u2014apparently as a measure to bolster peace.The British stand, well-informed sources believed, was calculated to give reassurance to Berlin and Rome that their demands against the Spanish Government were justified.At the same time it was intended to obtain safety of shipping through the creation by the Spanish Government of safety zones for neutral warships.British spokesmen reiterated that the Government was not taking sides in the controversy but was striving only to reform the framework of the international \u201cHands-Off Spain \u2019 committee, now weakened by Italian and German withdrawals following the bombing of a German battleship.BELIEVE DANGER OF A MAJOR WAR AVERTED »- Ste.Marie, Que., June 1.\u2014 Fire claimed its sixth victim in three weeks today in this Beauee County district.Mrs.Alphonse Lacroix, seventy years old, died of burns suffered yesterday when a boiler containing pitch tar exploded while being heated on the kitchen stove in her farm home.Her husband suffered severe burns attempting to beat out her flaming clothes.Five children died in outbreaks at Ste.Marguerite, in neighboring Dorchester County, and St.Georges de Beauee, FIRE CLAIMED ANOTHER VICTIM IN BEAUCE Paris, June 1.\u2014 Political circles believed here today the danger of war arising out of the German bombardment of Almeria had been averted.This view w'as shared by the press.It was admitted that difficulty ¦would he encountered in the negotiations to bring Germany and Italy back into the fold of the Non-Intervention Committee.yOne of the most delicate points, as indicated by Populaire, Socialist organ, in an editorial today, was the continued presence of German and Italian warships in Spanish waters despite their withdrawal from par-ticination in the control system.CLAIM CASUALTY LIST EXCEEDS TWO HUNDRED Almeria, Spain, June 1.\u2014 Estimates of the cost of some ninety minutes of German vengeance ¦wreaked on this Mediterranean port ranged today as high as two hundred dead and injured.The most conservative figures were twenty dead and one hundred injured but terrified townsfolk said they thought more than two hundred shells pumped into the city in the naval attack yesterday claimed an average of at least one victim each.Gabriel Moron, Almeida\u2019s civil governor, said: \u201cThere is not a single house not damaged in some way by the bombardment.\u201d Several homes which escaped the full force of the rain of shells' were converted into hospitals.The number of injured taxed Almeida\u2019s regular first aid facilities, and, moreover, one of the projectiles had ripped into the city\u2019s largest hospital.The authorities said they found the stamp of the German Im- Pkase Turn to Page 2, Col.2.British Press Is Severe In Its Criticism Of Retaliatory Act Daily Herald Declares There Is Neither Justification Nor Excuse for Germany\u2019s Action\u2014Manchester Guardian Comments \u201cGerman Government Ruthlessly Exacts an Eye for an Eye\u201d London, June 1,\u2014While expressing sympathy with Germany in the loss of life in the bombing of the battleship Deutschland, the British press was generally indignant today at the retaliatory bombardment of Almeria.The Daily Herald (Labor): \u201cFor the action of Germany there is neither justification nor excuse.It is cold fury worthy of the worst mediaeval traditions.\u201d The News-Chronicle (Liberal): \u201c'Germany is understood to have been seeking for same time to improve her relations with Britain.Those relations will not be improved by the German bombardment of Almeida.She has gone a great deal farther than one country legitimately can go in her relations with a friendly power.\u201d The Times (Conservative): \u201cThe good work of the Non-Intervention Committee has experienced a serious reverse.The bombardment of Almeria cost the lives of nearly , a score of Spaniards, including five women and a child, who had not as much to do with the bombing of the Deutschland as the man in the moon.A relapse into the conditions of last August when the flames of the Spanish civil war threatened to spread to all Europe would be a disastrous exhibition of human incompetence.\u201d The Morning Post (Conservative):

coasts act as guarantor against any aggression by either Spanish belligerent against the vessel of any third party was understood to have been evolved today at a meeting between Foreign Secretary Eden and German Ambassador Joachim von Ribhentrop.The proposal was understood to have come from the German envoy and to have been approved by Eden, who immediately took steps to place the project before the French Government.The plan would also recognize the right of any patrolling ship to open fire on and destroy any force attacking it.Patrol vessels would, moreover, be given the right to enter any Spanish port.PRINCE KONOYE INSTRUCTED TO FORM CABINET Expected Next Japanese Government Will Be National Coalition Committed to Large Army and Navy, Drastic Reforms and Strong Foreign Policy.Tokyo, June 1.\u2014Emperor Hiro-hito today commanded Prince Fumimaro Konoye, President of the House of Peers, to form a cabinet to succeed the semi-military government of Premier Senjuro Hayashi which resigned yesterday.Prince Konoye.was reported to have been assured the backing not only of the major political parries, which forced the downfall of the Hayashi cabinet, but also of the powerful leaders.It was generally believed the new Government would be a national coalition committed to a large army and navy, drastic administrative re-fcirms, and a strong foreign policy.Determined opposition to Haya-shi.by the major political parties, which won an overwhelming majority in the parliamentary elections April 30, caused the cabinet to resign.They had been in office only four months\u2014the second shortest term in modern Japanese history.AND WHAT ELSE?Sargent, Neb., June 1.\u2014Lulu Nethaway, of Sargent, entered a contest which offered a prize to the person having the

Manufacturers\u2019 Association Declares Demands of Workers for Shorter Hours and Higher Wages Must Be Kept Within Reasonable Bounds.Toronto, June I.\u2014\u201cWorld recovery is continuing for the fourth consecutive year and has advanced progressively during this period,\u201d stated B.W.Coghlir., of Montreal, in his presidential address at, the sixty-sixth annual meeting of the Canadian Manufacturers\u2019 Association here this afternoon.But he found it disquieting that with the substantial improvement in business there should still be more than one million persons in need of public relief, and he also devoted considerable attention to the present disturbances in industry.A cerfain amount of labor unrest was usual after a trade depression, he 'iffdared, and it was not unnatural for wage earners who had suffered severely to desire to obtain more pay as conditions improved.Within limits this was reasonable and economically sound.Many employers had voluntarily increased wages and the groat majority recognized it was in their own interests to pay as high wages as possible, \u201cIn recent months, unfortunately, many serious strikes have occurred and as the contagion spreads morej are threatened.\u201d he continued.\"AI general atmosphere of unrest exists throughout the industrial areas of the country.The demands presented to employers involved in some eases such curtailment of hours of labor with consequent prospect of diminished production, such increases in wages and such extensive interference with the processes of management and production, that, great concern is aroused for the immediate industrial future of Canada if those responsible for this movement do not keep their demands within reasonable bounds.\u201d It was reasonable, he felt, to ask if some new plan of dealing with relations between the various groups engaged in industry would produce the good results obtained for many years by established and well-tried methods.In other words, would class warfare, promoted and sustained by interested parties, do as much for industrial wage earners in the future as the friendly cooperation of all those engaged in industry had accomplished in the past.\u201cIt is impossible to escape from the obvious fact that under any system of dealing with industrial relations or of conducting industrial operations the consumers, in the Please Turn to
