Duchess of Atholl Mr. P.J.Noel-Baker M.P. Mr.Vernon Bartlett M.P. Lady Violet Bonham Carter Professor J. L.Brierley Viscount Cecil Dean of Chichester Margaret Cole Professor E.R.Dodds Lt.Commander Fletcher M.P. Miss Margery Fry Mr.Mark Gertler Professor J.B.S. Haldane Mrs. Charlotte Haldane Mr.R.F.Harrod Mr.Kingsley Martin Mr.A.D.Lindsay (Master of Balliol) Lord Listowel Mr.Geoffrey Mander M.P. Sir Peter Chalmers Mitchell Mr. J.C. Little (President A.E.U.)

Government should insist on the immediate compensation by the rebel authorities of seamen injured as the result of insurgent aerial and naval attacks.
3.	That H.M. Government should bring pressure to bear on the Italian and German Governments for the withdrawal of all foreigners from Spain.
