Mr, R. A. Butler, Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs, in. a reply, said that following the recent heavy bombardments, His Majesty's Government had delivered a very strong protest and had asked the French Government and the Holy See to ce-operate with them in their representations at Burgos. They were, at the same time, urgently considering other methods of action for preventing the terrible bombing which all civilized people deplored.
