Tin'll may be brought about that which the international committee seeks international mediation between the insurgents and the loyalist government. For the present both sides are renewing their efforts for decisive victory. The fascists, still driving hard at the "life line that connects Madrid and Valencia, ;u are attacking the capital itself again. Their airplane made two night bombing assaults on the city and its environs, killing a number of persons; i and their artillery constantly shells the highways to Valencia. The loyalist government, at its temporary seat in Valencia, took a new mandate of absolute power from all Popular Front parties and mobilized all available man lower to oppose the insurgent forces. All military classes of the last five years were drafted for immediate war service. nniME MINISTFR STANLEY of government Great Britain is asking for $7,501),- 000, U00 to finance its "war plan in time of peace, and is meeting - with determined np-- I rirrrrrrefrom the .ffV' position f J Liberals, I.eborites ami olhers in pur- Lament.

He said it was his understanding that this nation was definitely committed to the maintenance of a navy second to none. To maintain that principle. be declared. It would become necessary for the LTiited States to build new ships if other powers did. The present United Stales building program calls for start of construction tiffs year on two new capital ships. Great Britain already has laid the keels of two new craft and the program announced in London calls for the start, after April 1, of construction of a third new vessel. When Britain lays a third keel, then tiffs government is likely to start similar construction.

The announcements of these men was scarcely offset by a radio address by Attorney General Homer ri Cummings, dutifully defending the President's plan. Senator Clark said he was entirely in accord with the minor proposals in Mr. Roosevelt's scheme, but was totally unable to agree with the provisions for packing the Supreme court. Then came Senator Wheeler, stalwart radical, with a statement which it was reported he made public over the protests of the White Home. He said in part; "I am, always have been, and will continue to be opposed to the usurpation of legislative functions by the courts; I am, have been, and will be opposed lo usurpation of legislative and judicial functions by the executive branch of the government. "There Is nothing democratic, or fundamentally progressive, sound in the proposal advanced by the administration."

Senator Minton of Indiana defended the plan in a radio address but probably did it more harm than good, for he frankly admitted the purpose of the administration is to change the personnel and views of the Supreme court, in order that Iresident Roosevelt's New Gcal program will be held constitutional. Other senators who came out against the President's plan were Nye of North Dakota, radical RePone of Washington, publican; Democrat; Burke of Nebraska, Democrat; and Van Nuys of Indiana, Democrat. On the other side were McAdoo of California: Thomas of Utah and La Follette of Wisconsin. Senators Bone and Wheeler Introduced a resolution for a constitutional amendment that would give congress the power to override Supreme court decisions by a vote of both houses, but only after a national election involving congressional seats has intervened so that the people have had a chance to speak on the issue.
