3. Opposition speakers in the House of Commons pressed the government today for a 1 itatement on the Spanish naval Incident off the English east coast. The Insurgent motor vessel shelled and sank the government freighter Cantabria almost at the moment Prime Minister Chamberlain Wednesday told the Houst the Spanish civil war was "no longer a menare to the peace Europe." Built at Vancouver Lloyd's said the Cantabria was built at Vancouver, B.C. When news of the attack reached Parliament, however, one Opposition speaker suggested "They will be np the Thames next." In some quarters there was a belief the attack indicated General Franca had decided on a bold plan to venture far from Spanish water to intercept enemy shipping. Philip Noet 'Baker.

Labor, told Mia House: "The Spanish war come nearer home. A Spanish merchant ship on a time charter of a British company has been attacked off Cromer by an Insurgent trawler said to be armed from Germany." Survivors' Story Survivors of the freighter, brought to Cromer, near here the one sided fight took place, said the Cantabria defied an order to surrender, signalled from the Nadir about 2 p.m. The Nadir then shelled the Can labria for about three hours. Finally the battered hulk caught fire. The crew and passengers were taken off.

A coastal lifeboat look off the captain, his wife and their two children, and the second steward. The captain, speaking through an interpreter, said there were 37 members of the crew and passen gers, including three women and five children. The majority of the survivors were taken off by the Nadir and 11 by yie. London bound steamship, Patterson'ian. No CasuaTtlei The captain said he knew of no casualties but the Cantabria sank just after he left the ship.

She uai of 5.640 tons with her home port at Santanrtr, now Insurgent held. The vessel was owned by the Mid Atlantic Shipping company of London. He described the Nadir's armament as five guns, which Bred broadside after broadside into the Cantabria. The Paltersonian, a 315 ton sleamer from Newcastle, later landed 11 of the Canlabria's crew from life boats at Great Yarmouth. Police had ambulances and taxis ready but none of the crew men was injured, although all suffered from exhaustion.

Disappears in Mist Disposal of those taken aboard the Nadir from a lifeboat was not known, as she disappeared in the mist of the North Sea after the bombardment. She refused to answer wireless demands of nearby trawlers and steamfhips for an explanation of the attack. The location just but side the territorial waters prevented the admiralty from sending a warship to the scene, though scores of fishing trawlers and other ships drew as near as they dared. The admiralty followed reports of the uneven encounter closely. The captain of the Spanish freighter, Manuelle Ardulles, said his ship sailed from Immingham Tuesday and that he noticed as he entered the North Sea that he was being followed by what appeared to be an armed trawler.

Shells Pierce Hull "Shells were falling all around us." he said, describing I he attack "It was evident the ship would sink quickly, although none of the shells themselves caused the fire. I and my family remained on deck until the very last. Altogether I should say at least 20 shells fell near us or on the ship. Many of them hit the hull and very soon water was pouring in. They kept firing for about 2 la hours, and the whole time It was boom, boom, boom.

When the lifeboat came alongside my ship had a list of 50 degrees." Pigs Attack Child, Eat Part Of Leg I By The Canadian Crt Nov. 3 At tacked by vicious pigs. Gerald Villem. aged three, lies in Melfort hospital in a serious rrtndition. Hopes are held for his recovery.

The lad with his five year old sister were on the road about one half mile from their home, east of Resource, when they were attacked by the pigs. The girl ran to neighbors, but she had difficulty in persuading anyone to come to the rescue of her brother as it appeared incredible that the pigs would hurt the child. When the rescue party finally arrived at the road they found the pigs had stripped the child of all his clothing and had eaten the calf of one leg and some flesh from his side. The boy was lying in the road unconscious. He wa taken to Melfort hospital im meriist lv.

Sir Samuel announced the government proposed to complete the trench systems dug in London parks at the height of the crisis.

They will covered and sodded, leaving them ready for the nex'. emergency. Herbert Morrison, leader of the Labor majority in the London County Council, made a violent attack on the A.R.P. deficiencies during the crisis. He said there were inadequate supplies of gas masks, stretchers, ambulance equipment, and other necessary material.

He said anti aircraft guns nan proved entirely inadequate and had been alow in delivery. He assailed what he charged was inadequate fire fighting equipment, nonexistence of effective air raid shelters, failure to deliver gas masks to mental hospitals and tack of a policy for moving civilian masses from the city. "War Museum" Mr. Morrison said anti aircraft guns which were wheeled into strategic positions at the height of the crisis were such a varied assortment that tbey Iwd been nicknamed "Hore Belisha's war museum" for Leslie Hore Belisha. war secretary.

The Laborile mid 1.000.000 volunteers for air raid precautions work had been recruited, but. the authorities had been unable to organize them.

Replying," Sir Sam lei forecast a comprehensive new program to provide blast proof shelters for "every man, woman and child ho can not provide it themselves." He pointed to the distribution of 30,000,000 gas masks within a few days during the crisis as an efficient accomplishment.

CUMMINGS I (From The Tribunc'a London Bureau Copyright by tha Boutham Publiahing Co. LONDON, Nov. 3. Events are boiling up in Spain and, according to private (reports reaching London, are likely to bring about the downfall of General Franco. De Unite strictest censorship, it is known that various parties behind him are almost at daggers drawn.

Failure of many months of fighting on the tbro river front against government troops' astonishing resistance has caused many of Franco's backers to desert him. While Joachim von Ribbentrop, Nazi foreign minister, was recently in Rome he not only decided upon carving up of to oblige Italy and Hungary but also arranged that continued support should be given Spanish Nationalists until. Franco's ultimate victory was achieved. Whether this policy will be followed in the face of Franco's threatened resignation 1 only events will show. No National Front Meanwhile endorsement of the British Anglo Italian pact by the Parliament has had the enect in domestic politics of destroying any hope of creating a truly National government with all parties cooperating to rearm the nation and restore its diplomatic authority in European affairs.

Liberal and Labor rejection of the pact was naturally expected but Eden's opposition and declaration that Chamberlain was making Details of the Anglo Italitn pact, early application of which has been approved by Commons and Lords, will be found on Page 9. the treaty effective before Mussolini had complied with the cabinet's own stipulations caused much misgiving among Conservative ranks. More than a dozen government supporters abstained from voting and others hinted their uneasiness at the premier'! persistence in making concessions to dictators ho conceded nothing in return.

1 Church Warned To Change Ways Drift Into Paganism Held Menacing Canada IBy Th Canadian Prnl VANCOUVER, Nov. 3 The church in Canada must chance its ways or "someone else will take charge of our thinking and show us what to do," Rev. W. G. Brown, of Saskatoon, told the Presbyterian synod of British Columbia here Wednesday night.

Civilization is rapidly riiifting into paganism, the visiting pastor said. "The totalitarian slate is pure paganism, wilh man and not God as the rentral idea. It us marching across Canada and the Church is sitting down and saying nothing about it." He said there was constant pics sure on religion to ou.st it. He had heard betlcr interpretations of social problems from the Trades and Labor council than from the Church, because members of the council "deal with problems in a rugged way."

Workmen were said to have struck a lead coffin and the bones of one of Great Britain's illustrous poets but uncertainty developed whether the tomb was that of the poet Michael Drayton who died in 1630 or that of Edmund Spenser, in which researhers expect to find handwritten elegies for comparison with known specimens, thereby settling the controversy whether Shakespeare himsf lf or Sir Francis Bacon wrote the dramas attributed to Shakespeare.

This was the opinion expressed here today by "Cy" Becker, of Edmonton, former crown prosecutor under the Aberhart regime, veteran war pilot and president of the Edmonton Aero club. Returning to Edmonton after visiting oil property in Texas, Mr. Becker was la guest at the fort Garry hotel.

Aberhart's government, he said, has increased taxation, increased I the cost of civil service by adding to the usual number of govern ment employes many relatives and friends, and has done nothing to i improve conditions in the province, jsave to build a few roads that should have been built 10 years I To him. the mystery of Aber hart's continued hold on the people of Alberta in spite of his failures is still an enigma. "I can't explain it any better than anyone else.

His story "Guard From the Yard" starts on Saturday in The Tribune magazine section. The series is prefaced with a foreword by Winston Churchill, in which tribute is paid to Inspector Thompson as a "faithful, vigilant guardian." "To be guarded and shadowed day and night for years i end is not a pleasant experience," sas Mr. Churchill. "It is only rendered tolerable by grim necessity, and still moi by the extraordinary lad, courtesy and skill of those en liusted with the duty of watching over public persons who. at particular times, are thought to be worthy of powder and shot." His companion, whom he named as Walter Hayes, 24, fled before a volley of police shots, returning the fire with a .32 calibre automatic until it jammed.

He llunj; it away from him, screaming as though he had been hit, and ran through the bush. City police ran afler him, tiring, but he escaped in the dark mid scrub timber.
