LONDON. June 1s.-Premier Mac
Donald. questioned in the House of
Commons today concerning the reso-
luton of the British labor party,
passed yesterday, which expressed
profound detestation Of the kidnap-
ing Of the Italian deputy Signor
Matteotti and expressed sympath
party of Italy, argued that the reso-
luton could not be offensive to a
friendly foreign power.

censure upon the Italian premier, said
Mr. Macdonald, only followed Premier
Mussolinis own statements and the
political movements in Italy since the
crime against Matteotti was COM
mitted.

CIRCUJMAVIAT0RS REACH REYKJAVlK
AFTER BATTLING HARD GALE: FEAR
TO HOP OFF NOW FOR GREENLAND
Ice Conditions Declared Worst
in Years, and Airmen Fear
They Would Find no Land

Hop at This Time-Ships
Buffet Gale in Good Shape

Reykjavik, Iceland. Aug. 6 Lieuts.
Lowell H. Smith and Eric Nelson,
United States Army world fliers,
expect to remain here several days,
following their stormy trip from
Hoefn Hornafjord on the eastern
lcelandic coast yesterday. The
flicrs said they could start today
on their Greenland flight except for
the uncertainty of the situation at
Angmagsalik, where the worst ice
conditions in years are reported.
The airmen do not like the pros
pect of 4SO- O-mile flight over open
water with no certainty of proper
landing place. The reports from
Angmagsalik are conflicting, there
being no assurance as yet that the
supply steamer Gertrude Rask, re-
ported caught in the ice Is miles
off shore, had been able to deliver
her supplies for the airmen's next
stop.
Preparations were made early to-
day to pull the planes ashore for
minor repairs. This work will re-
quire less than days time. The
machines came through the battle
with the high wind on the flight
here from Hornafjord yester-
day in good shape despite the fact
that the gale at times was SO furious
that it carried away part of the
radio apparatus in the cruiser Rich
mond, flagship of the patrol fleet.
