PEACE OVERTURES
British Envoy Gives Prom
ise of “Sincere” and “Use
ful” Friendship.
B? tht Associated Press.
BERLIN, June 2.—Britain, seeking
» way out of the Spanish crisis, held
out to Germany today a promise of
•'sineere” and ‘'useful" friendship if
the Reich would assure the peace of
Europe.
Foreign office officials carefully
mulled over the offer, presented by
Britain’s new Ambassador to Adolf
Hitler's third Reich, Sir Nevile Hender
aon, in an atmosphere of tension over
both the Spanish war and the Roman
Catholic Church dispute.
Toward the holy see. the Reich's at
titude wras increasingly hostile. Fol
lowing yesterday's protest to the
Vatican which was interpreted gen
erally as the first step toward breaking
all relations, the government-con
trolled press broadly hinted worse was
to come.
iUiVKCv'i rciuc i/vmuic.
Henderson seized the opportunity in
an appearance last night at a reception
of the German-English society to make
the peace overture—to assure the Reich
that “Britain is harboring no designs
whatever to put Germany in any kind
of a straitjacket."
“I can tell you quite definitely and
truthfully what and how much Eng
land wants," he declared. "It wants
peace—peace In Europe and in the
world, which certainly saw enough of
wwr In those terrible years from 1914
to 1918.
"Assure us of peace and peaceful
development in Europe and Germany
will see that It has not a more sin
cere—nor, I believe, a more useful—
friend In the world than Great Brit
ain."
German Press Cites Calm.
The German press noted with ob
vious gratification what ft termed a
general tendency of foreign capitals
to take a calm view of Monday's shell
ing of Almeria by German warships m
reprisal for the bombing of the cruiser
Deutschland off Ibiza two days earlier.
The press expressed openly the hope
that other powers would finally come
to the German view that "behind
Valencia stands the real enemies of
European peace.”
On the quarrel wdth the Vatican,
Hitler's own newspaper, the Voelki
scher Beobarhter, asserted that the
Holy See alone would bear the re
sponsibility for “the inevitable conse
quences in a nation conscious of its
honor” by not rebuking George Car
dinal Mundelein of Chicago for his
attack on the Reichsfuehrer and Nazi
church policies.

plies to the Madrid-Valeneia govern
ment.
A reinforced German battle fleet
was understood here to be co-oper
ating with the Italian men of war in
their determined move to stop Soviet
ships from running munitions to the
Spanish government.
Italian political circles considered
She sudden decision of Premier Mus
solini as, in effect, clamping down the
Ineffectual blockade which Insurgent
3eneralissimo Francisco Franco had
attempted to establish on the Mediter
ranean coast of Spain.
It was understood here, although
without confirmation, that the blockade
units would use such force as was
necessary to keep contraband of war
rom reaching the armies which are
lighting to put down Franco's'armed
aid for power. The insurgent Franco
regime is recognized by both Germany
and Italy as the true government of
Spain.
Duce Flies to Rome.
Premier Mussolini flew back to
Rome last night at the controls of his
)wn plane to assume charge of the
•apidly developing situation. He had
seen resting near his birthplace,
.vhere tradition has it he always goes
>efore making important decisions.
Ostensibly, II Duce returned to his
■apital to meet Gen. Werner von
31omberg, German minister of war,
vho.se arrival this afternoon set in
notion a series of important confer
>nces and a gigantic naval review at
Uaeta as a demonstration of Italian
sea power.
Von Blomberg, arriving at Littorio
Mrport by plane from Berlin, was
jreeted by II Duce. Count Galeazzo
Uiano, Italian foreign minister;
Ulrich von Hassell, German Ambassa
ior to Rome, and commanders of the
Italian Air Corps.
Detailed advices from Naples indi
cated that Italy would show the Ger
man war chief one of the most for
nidable submarine concentrations in
History.
Already under the shadow of Ve
suvius were 71 submersibles—just one
less than all the underwater craft at
Britain’s command—and still Italy is
left with a reserve.
Fleet to Pass in Review.
The fleet will pass in review before
Von Blomberg and show him Italy's
development in a phase of naval
strength that once was Germany's
special domain. Full complements
will line the submarine decks in the
naval parade.
Naval officers insisted the crews
have been summoned for the review
and not because of any Spanish de
velopment. Nevertheless, they con
ceded that they were prepared for
any eventuality.
The prime purpose of the display
was said to be to impress Germany
with Italy's sea strength at a time
when Great Britain appears to be
minimizing the military power of the
Reich's running mates. •
Later, Von Blomberg will be shown
Italy's strength on land and in the air

Commissioners, in Final
Session at Columbus, Dis
cuss Varied Aspects.
By the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 2 —War
became a central issue before commis
sioners of the Presbyterian Church in
the U. S. A. today as they entered the
final session of their 149th General
Assembly.
These factors were involved: Efforts
of a pacifist group to delete sanction
of war from the church confession of
faith and larger catechism, despite
failure of the 276 presbyteries (dis
trict governing bodies) to ratify a
somewhat similar proposal In the last
year.
Defense of Nation.
A request from Dr. Clarence E.
Macartney of Pittsburgh, a former
moderator, was made that the assem
bly repudiate as “contrary to our
standards and contrary to the word
of God, the teaching that it is wrong
and unchristian to defend our Nation.”
A resolution from Dr. John A. Mac

Moorish Snipers and Ma
chine Gunners Picked From
Trees Like Squirrels.
B> the Associated Press.
MADRID, June 2.—Moorish snipers
and machine gunners who tried to
break the siege of La Granja were
reported today to have been picked off
like squirrels from their leafy perches
in towering oaks.
Government forces continued to
tighten their ring about the town. 33
miles northwest of Madrid, despite
withering fire from behind sandbags
and the treetops.
Under the green camouflage of oak
leaves, reckless Moorish soldiers held
machine gun and rifle positions until
the attackers finally brought them
tumbling to the ground. But the
Moors were only part of a stubborn
Insurgent defmse.
With the town proper and the one
time royal r *sk. surrounded, gov
ernment troo^r ■ j ordered not to
try to break ‘-.to La Oranja until In
surgents holding other dominating
machine gun positions within the siege
lines had been “mopped up."
The Insurgent garrison, reported
completely cut off from Segovia, 6
miles to the northwest, was said to be
running short of ammunition and
capitulation was regarded as im
minent.
Government militiamen captured
the first line of insurgent trenches at
Balsain, about 2 miles southwest of La
Granja, in yesterday’s combat.
A government column advanced
along the Madrid-Segovla highway to
the west of La Granja, wiping out
scattered Insurgent nests in the drive
