Canada
unwittingly
became
involved
In
an
International
arms
mystery
wheu
34
aeroplanes,
destined
for
Turkey,
were
shipped
from
this
country
and
landed
in
warring
Spain.
The
case
had
repercussions
in
both
Washington
and
London.
In
the
British
House
of
Lords,
Lord
Phlllimore,
ConservaUve,
raised
the
question
of
armament
shipments
from
Canadian
ports
and
mention
ed
the
specific
shipment
of
the
34
1
planes.
Earlier,
on
request
of
the
United
States
government,
the
Canadian
department
of
national
revenue
Investigated
and
found
that
permits
were
Issued
to
a
Canadian
manufacturer
to
export
the
planes
to
the
Turkish
government,
which
later
stated
It
did
not
authorize
the
plac
ing
of
the
orders
for
the
planes.
The
Canadian
government
said
that
while
It
believed
the
exporter
acted
In
good
faith,
believing
the
machines
were
or
Turkey,
thers
was
no
doubt
now
that
they
went
to
