His forces in northwest Spain pushed forward to surround Gijon, last important loyalist seaport in that area, and insurgent in-surgent warships blocked escape by way of the sea. The commanders of the defending loyalist troops realized real-ized their predicament and surrendered surren-dered the city unconditionally. The place was crowded with 130,000 half-starved half-starved refugees. The loyalists still were in possession of some strategic points in that sector. Occupation by the Italians and Germans of two island groups off the coasts of Spain was reported in Paris newspapers. It was alleged that the Italians had occupied the Columbretes islands is-lands only 40 miles off the east Mediterranean Med-iterranean coast and had established a submarine base there. Normally the islands are occupied only by members of a lighthouse crew. Germans were alleged to have occupied oc-cupied Alboran island, 50 miles off the south Mediterranean coast and directly in the path of all shipping to and from Gibraltar. The Germans Ger-mans were said to have established a submarine base on the island, likewise used principally heretofore as a lighthouse station. n f . s i, .f Pack train starting the long: trek down the mountainside in the Uinta range, Utah, with the bodies of 19 persons who met sudden death when a United Lines airliner from Chicago to the West Coast crashed in a storm.

DAVIS is on his way to Brussels, Belgium, as head of the American delegation to a conference con-ference of the signatories of the SUMMARIZES THE WORLD'S WEEK Western Newspaper Union. Landon Calls on G.O.P. ALF M. LANDON came to the surface in a radio address to 17,000,000 Americans who voted for him in the last election, and es- - -' I ' j ? , A nine - power treaty which, the optimists hope, will put an end to the warfare between be-tween Japan and China. More realistic realis-tic observers of the course of events have no such expectation, expec-tation, for the pact has no "teeth" and the conferees can do ity, free from tlie disastrous extremes ex-tremes of booms and depressions. Only in that way can our economic system and our democratic institutions institu-tions endure." Mr. Roosevelt avoided mention of the jittery condition of the stock markets, but before delivering his address he had seen Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau and learned that the market was recovering, recov-ering, due to heavy buying by bargain bar-gain hunters and perhaps to recovery recov-ery of confidence by investors. Among the many notable persons on the platform with the President was Senator Carter Glass of Virginia, Vir-ginia, who fathered the federal reserve re-serve system during the Wilson administration. ad-ministration. The veteran senator was loudly cheered. i i t j pecially to the Republican Re-publican party as a whole. He said he had called this "radio "ra-dio meeting" to sug-gest sug-gest ways and means by which "we, the minority party," can be of outstanding service to the country. The Kansan declared de-clared President Roosevelt had failed Alf M. Landon little except talk. Norman II. Associated with Davls Mr. Davis, the administration's ad-ministration's roving ambassador, are Dr. Stanley K. Hornbeck and Pierrepont Moffat as advisers. Robert Rob-ert T. Pell is the press officer and C. E. Bohlen is secretary of the delegation. Before sailing for Europe the delegates dele-gates received instructions from President Roosevelt and Secretary cf State Hull, but these were not revealed to the public. The invitation to the conference was issued by the Eelgian government govern-ment "at the request of the British government and with the approval of the government of the United States." China and Japan are both signatories to the treaty. The former for-mer accepted the invitation to the Brussels meeting, but it was believed be-lieved Japan would not be represented repre-sented there. Tokyo has maintained the policy that the Sino-Japancse troubles must be settled without the intervention of other nations. Roper Has a Program TANIEL C. ROPER, secretary of ' commerce, also made a speech in Washington, under the auspices of the Rotary club. His subject was the economic relationships of the nations of the western hemisphere, and he proposed this four-point program pro-gram which he believed would benefit bene-fit the entire world: 1. United action throughout the Americas for the publication of verified ver-ified facts about every country, stressing constructive events and objectives rather than prejudice, criities, and disrupting events. 2. The introduction into the educational edu-cational system of every country study of other languages so that each country would be better prepared pre-pared in attitude and knowledge to help develop its own country. "This means," he said, "that no country will exploit the resources of another country." 3. Encourate tourist travel among all the Americas by truthful advertising adver-tising and belter travel facilities. 4. I'.roader studies by the countries coun-tries in the western hemisphere of each other's economics and social needs in the light of the individual country. as an administrator, had failed to follow the Constitution, and now was demanding increased power. "What he really needs is less power," pow-er," Mr. Landon asserted, "a position posi-tion that will force him to take the advice and counsel of other men of both parties men whose hearts also are in the right place, but men who have had more experience and who know more about the practical application of government than he docs." It is up to the Republicans, he said, to curb Mr. Roosevelt in his demands. He also discussed the war talk prevalent after the President's Presi-dent's Chicago speech and said: "We are faced with a situation where he may make a mistake that would indeed be tragic, that might lead to war. Close observers have increasing doubt if he thought his recent declaration through to its logical conclusion." In conclusion Mr. Landon said: "We have had a New Deal. Now what we most need in America is a new yardstick a yardstick to measure meas-ure the ability and the accomplishments, accomplish-ments, as well as the good intentions, inten-tions, of public officials. "It is time to put a solid foundation founda-tion of workable legislation under the air castles which the President forever is blowing. "It is time to realize that we must apply the resources of the mind if we are to make the wishes of the heart come true." Russians in West China TOKYO newspapers stated that 15 Soviet Russian planes, co-operating with Soviet land forces, had bombed Kashgar. Yarkand. Karg-halik. Karg-halik. Khotan, Gunicr, and other cities of Sinkiang, westernmost province of China, in a battle against Mohammedans. The troops were said to have occupied several of the cities. Mine Disaster POAL gas exploded in the Mulga mine in Alabama 12 miles from Birmingham, and the lives of 33 miners were snuffed out Kive hundred hun-dred men were at work In the mine at the time, but fortunately the explosion ex-plosion was four miles from the entrance. en-trance. The blast was the first since the operation of the mine was taken over by the Woodward Iron company, large producers of merchant mer-chant iron in Birmingham. However, How-ever, 50 men had been killed at Mulga in former years. New Budget Figures OR IiS I DENT ROOSEVI'XT found his estimate of $418.000, 000 as the probable deficit for l!).'lf! fiscal year was much too low. So he gave out new budget figures putting the probable prob-able deficit at nearly 700 millions. And it admittedly will be much greater unless the executive and congress achieve very considerable economics. Farmers Warned on Loans pDWARD A. O'NEAL, president of the American Farm Bureau federation, headed a group of farm leaders who called on the President Presi-dent for the purpose of asking loans of 00 cents a bushel on corn to improve prices. It was understood Mr. Roosevelt warned that crop loans should not be pushed so high that the drain on federal revenues would become too heavy; and that he intimated that the budget would not permit great extension of loans at this time. However, Secretary of Agricullure Wallace subsequently told a press conference a government loan on this year's large corn crop "should be exceedingly desirable." He declined de-clined to say what loan rate ho favored, fa-vored, but conceded that a corn loan of about 46 cents a bushel would bo comparable to the government's 0 cent a pound loan on this year's cotton crop.
