eminent urgent demand for a neutral
investigation Of insurgent air raids on
civilian centers coincided today with
the return of Britain's envoy to the
insurgent regime with an "explana-
ton" of recent air attacks on British
shipping
The demand for an inquiry was made

Secretary Viscount Halifax 1t was
accompanied by an implied repetition

Brings Franco Reply.
Sir Robert NJ Hodgson, British agent
ct Burgos, arrived with insurgent Gen.
eraliSsimo Francisco Frances reply to
British protests on bombing of Brit
4 ish ships.
Prime Minister Chamberlain hoped
the reply would be of such nature as
to lessen political pressure on him
arising from British indignation at
the attacks
Gen. Franco, through Premier Mus
solini Of Italy. already has offered
proposals for lessening the danger to
British shipping in Spanish waters.
But the air raids continued yester-
day and today on the Spanish east
coast, and an attack on Blanes, north
1 east Of Barcelona, in which nine were
bkilled and 80 wounded. prompted the
demand that the neutral commission
On raids, proposed by Britain, 60 to
investigate.
Thus Azcarate increased the pres
sure on the already harassed Chamber
lain government.
Sir Robert Hodgson, on reaching
London, said he did not have the
faintest idea" when or II he would
return to Burgos.
Demand Grows in Parliament.
Continued loss of British ships in
Spanish government ports has resulted
in q growing demand in Parliament
that the prime minister take q stronger
line with Gen. Franco.
1t was doubted, however, If the gov
ernment would accept Gen. Franco S
reported terms for establishment of
one neutral port remote from the
Spanish war zones where neutral
shipping could discharge cargoes un-

would be Almeria on the south coast
The Almeria Port Is small, and
shipping circles pointed out it would
be badly congested if all sea commerce
were concentrated there.

Japan Declares
Russian Stand Is
Direct Challenge
Dispute Over Hill Held
By Soviet Troops
Grows More Serious

TOKYO, July 90 (UP)-
w h lie japanese official
srokesmen today described
as a direct challenge to Jap
and the occupation of a hill
near Changkufeng in the Vladivos-
tok region by Russion troops, dis
patches from Moscow indicated
Russia is biding her time until
Japan makes the next move.
Russians interpreted a remark by
Mamoru Shigemitsu, japanese am
bassador, to mean that this country
will seek to eject the Russians force
fully from the hill.
Japan claim the hill as part of
Manchukuo, japanese satellite state
Russian claims the hill is in Rus
sian territory. Neither appeared
willing to yield in their claims,
Russia must assume complete re-
sponsibility for what happens, a
japanese spokesman said Japan
and Manchukuo will bear response
bility for any developments, said
Russia.
Maxim Litvinov, Russian foreign
commissar, declared at Moscow
speaking of Shigemitsu's limited
threat to apply force, '"If the am
bassador regards as good diplomatic
methods threats and intimidation
of a sort to which certain states,
indeed, yield-he must know that
he cannot apply this method sue
cessfully in Moscow"
To a protest by Shigemitsue of a
japanese gendarme who was shot
down while accommodating near the
disputed hill, Litvinov said:
"The japanese gendarme was
killed on Russian territory, where
he had no business to be-"
After declaring that Japan has
waited patiently in the hope Russia
would be reasonable in dealing with
the matter, the Japanese spokesman
said:
However, Japan herewith de-
clareS her readiness to take the
necessary steps and proclaims her
right to take such measures
Earlier the japanese cabinet met
to consider Russias rejection of the
protest.
AS the cabinet met, a Domei news
agnecy dispatch from the frontier
asserted that five Russian destroy
ers had entered Possiet Bay, near
the area in dispute, and that Russia
was continuing to reinforce her
troops there.
Today's morning newspapers re-
ported that Russia had assembled
$50 airplanes just inside the Russian
