Earlier this month, it was learned from official quarters yesterday, a list of twelve ships, ten of which were British, was circulated by General Franco's headquarters, together with allegations that these ships were carrying illegal supplies, Reports of the non-intervention board show that no breach of the Non-Intervention Agreement has been committed by any British ship named on General Franco's list. The owners very strongly denied that their vessels were carrying goods prohibited under the 1936 act.
These ships, it is understood, have always carried non-intervention observers.
