Bulletin cites British concern over fascist plans to blockade Barcelona and destroy ships carrying arms, munitions, tanks and even toxic gases. Eden says a detailed inquiry will be sent to insurgent authorities to confirm if a blockade could bar British shipping and how international law would apply.

Warned Indirectly on Barcelona Blockade by Spanish Regime
Washington reports an indirect warning from the Spanish fascist command that foreign vessels should stay away from Barcelona port. Walton Moore notes the message was not formal, and the United States will not act. Barcelona is an academic issue for now as there are no American or Spanish waters involved. Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera, son of the late dictator, was executed at Alicante for participating in the fascist rebellion. A 100-person train from France Belgium the Netherlands and Switzerland headed to join Madrid defenders.
