This was made clear when the
British cabinet, after going through
all the motions traditional to Britons
when their sea-going rights are en-
dangered quietly backed down once
again and allowed that British mer-
chantmen had best keep out of the
war-torn port of Bilbao after all.
The Incident Is worth looking at,
as one more bit of proof that Eng-
land, Instead of ruling the waves. Is
waiving the rules these days.
• • ■ "W
Spanish rebel warships have been
blockading Bilbao. Under the inter-
national non-intervention agreement
— signed by Britain and other pow-
er* — shipments of arms and ammu-
nitions are prohibited, but shipments
of foodtsuffs are permlssable And
five British merchant ships loaded
with food have been waiting to get
into Bilbao.
General Franco, rebel commander-
in-chief. announced point-blank that
if any of these ships made for the
port of Bilbao they would be sunk.
And it was then that Britain sum-
moned the mighty Hood up from
Gibraltar and talked loudly of en-
forcing British rights of the sea.
It is important to realize just
what these rights were. Under the
non-intervention agreements, Brit-
ish merchantmen have a perfect
right to enter Bilbao with foodstuffs.
Furthermore, the British government
has pot yet granted the Spanish in-
surgents the rights of belligerents.
Undier international law, she would
be entitled to treat as pirates any
insurgent warships inhering with
lawful British commerce.
Now, if your memory goes back
to the spacious days before the war,
you can see that this was a situa-
tion made to order for the growling

THE famous twin stars, Castor and Pollux, have been recognized
as a pair for thousands of years; but modern instruments show us
that they are of entirely different groups. Pollux is speeding in
one direction at a rate of 16 miles a second, while Castor is travel-
ing a separate course at about nine miles a second.
NEXT: From what docs the word halo come?
of the British lion. In those days a
rebel leader would think twice or
three times before laying hands on
a British ship. Retribution would be
swift, sure, and deadly. And when
the Hood came steaming up from
Gibraltar under forced draft, it look-
ed as if the old days had returned.
But they haven’t. For the cabinet
admitted, finally, in the House of
Commons, that it will not force the
issue. If British ships try to enter
Bilbao they will do so at their own
risk. The Hood is just there for
looks. The rebel blockade is being
accepted at its face value.

'••Sir Humphrey Gilbert dreamed
of plans that would enable him to
find that mysterious “northwest
passage” across the newly discov-
ered America to “Cathay.” A
step-brother of Sir Walter Raleigh,
he petitioned Queen Elizabeth for
permission to make the trip, but
it was not until 1578 that he
gained his coveted charter By
that time he had reached fame as
a public official
His final voyage was a failure
Again in 1583, he set sail with
five ships, and six weeks later ar-
rived at what is now Newfound-
land. On the site of St. Johns he
set up the first English colony in
North America Returning to Eng-
land with two of his ships, he
boarded the 10-ton frigate, Spar

civil cases occupied the court. The

one of the lightest for many years.
