This move certainly was made to stop the landing of munitions and food from Russia destined for tha Spanish loyalist forces. England, Franca and other nations were greatly concerned over tha blockade, for the port is largely used by their shipping. The Spanish rebels have created a strongly fortified port at Palma on the island of Mallorca that can be used as a base for bombardment of Barcelona from the sea. Blockading vessels may be supplied by Portugal, which warned neutral shipping to avoid the Barcelona port, though Lisbon had not yet formally SCHUMANN- -' MME.

They seem to have forgotten how the league abandoned Manchuria to Japan and Ethiopia to Italy not to long ago. Tha Italian grand council, with Mussolini presiding, voted to support the Ducea policies by giving him more airplanes, xnora guns, more warships and more men. It waa frankly stated that the reason for this, waa the threatening international situation. Italian opinion was that if Franca Joined Russia in aiding the formation of a radical Spanish government with its capital at Barcelona in event that Madrid fell to the Fascists there would be great danger of general war. COMPLICATING the already com-'- J plex European situation and directly threatening war is the alleged fact that Germany and Japan have united to fight the spread of communism. and that their pact is expected to be adhered to by Italy and perhaps various central European nations. This is of course directed mainly against soviet Russia, and Moseow is actively aware of the menace. It is understood that the agreement provides that Germany and Japan shall keep strong military forces in East Prussia and Manchukuo respectively; that the two nations shall exchange military Information and orders, and that in certain contingencies Germany shall supply Japan with war materials. An immediate source of friction between Germany and Russia is the arrest of 23 Germans in Moscow and Leningrad under charges of plotting to steal secret military information, to wreck industrial plants and to kill government leaders. Berlin protested the arrests, but the soviet officials replied that all formalities governing such cases had been observed and that several of the prisoners had confessed their guilt The German propaganda mine istry said the story of the agreement, which came from Moscow, was a periodic lie which this time was intended to sidetrack German protests against i the arrests. himself was exactly $070. Robert Jefferys, secretary of the committee, said he bad not yet received a report from Gov. Alf M. Landon, but understood that most of his expenses were borne by tha Republican national committea. William Lemke, Union party presidential nominee, reported he spent $2,868 and received contributions totaling $3,753. The Prohibition partys candidate for President, Dr. Leigh Colvin, listed expenditures of $1,106 and contributions of $1,131.

President Roosevelt directed the release of a statement in which he announced that the government will continue to spend money on a work relief program until July 1, 1933 at least. It is estimated that congress will be asked to appropriate as much as next $1,500,000,000 for relief session. Although he professed himself gratified at the inroads upon unemployment by industry, the President commented upon the fact that private business has not yet absorbed vast masses of the unemployed and that millions of persons remain on the Works Progress administration pay roll and other governmental agencies. Mr. Roosevelt declared it was widely known that many of the largest Industries will not hire workers over forty years of age. To a large extent, he charged, this policy is responsible for the relatively large number of older workers on relief. And industry must expand opportunities for the hiring of unskilled workers, he said. The mayors of the United States, in annual conference in Washington, were gratified by assurances from both Harold Ickes, head of the PWA. and Harry Hopkins, head of the WPA, that the administration will not cease its spending efforts to keep alive the emergency organizations intended to deal with the unemployment problem. I am convinced, Ickes said, that the PWA should be made a permanent agency of government It will expire June 30 next On that date, many projects will not be completed. Necessarily, a law should be passed giving tirrte within which to complete the tasks already undertaken. Hopkins predicted the 1929 level of production would be reached next year. Yet the end of our troubles seems a long way off," he remarked. There were about 1.800,000 unemployed even at the '1929 peak, but next year, with the fame volume of production, carefully prepared estimates Indicate that there will still be some 6ft to 7 Vi millions unemployed." Pan-Americ- in-th- e FOR more than ten years the government has been building monuments of the World war on French and Belgian battlefields and memorial chapels in the eiht American military cemeteries in France. Belgium and England. Thia work ia now completed and the American Battle Monuments commission, of which General Pershing is chairman, recommends that the structures be dedicated next July, twenty years after Americaa entfy into the war. The approval of the President and congress Is required. recommend to the next congress tha passage of legislation outlawing company unions and forbidding coercion of workers by employers. George A. Patterson and Elmer J. Malol, employee representatives of tha Carnegle-Illinoi- a Steal company, carried thia request to tha White House. The Carnegie Illinois company has offered employees a 10 per cent wage increase on condition that workers sign an agreement to permit adjustment of wages to the cost of living. At his press conference President Roosevelt said living costs should not be permitted to operate to curb wage increases. Furthermore. Secretary of Labor Perkins ruled informally that the employee representatives had no authority to sign such an agreement for their fellow employees. HIS first press conference since INthe Presidential election Harry, L. Hopkins, works progress administrator, asserted his belief that relief rolls this winter would be at the lowest point since the start of the depression. He estimated that families and alngla persons would be receiving , federal and local aid January I, 1937. I ' compared to a peak I fct of 5.316.000 in Jan- - -H- - L. Hopkins uary, 1935. I think, Hopkins said confidently, that we will go into January of thia year caring for 1,000,-00- 0 less cases than a year ago and a reduction of about 1,500,000 from 3,750,000 n 1935. The administrators attention was called to the fact that latest figures showed that 3,498.012 persons were employed the first two weeks of October, an increase of 29.02C over the preceding half month. He explained this by pointing out that the drouth In the Midwest added 32,831 destitute farmers to his WPA project list. corporations were of the National Labor Relations board ordering the dissolution of the industrial council plan of the International Harvester company at the plant in Fort Wayne, Ind. While the ruling dealt only with the Indiana plant, tha board pointed out that the same plan also exists in the other 14 Harvester plants In the United States and Canada. It sets a precedent also for future decisions in regard to similar plans In other manufacturing plants throughout the country. EMPLOYER HITLER has torn up clause of the Versailles treaty 'the one that Internationalized the German rivers and canals. He has announced that the reich has resumed sovereignty' over all such waters.
