legislation.
Gov. Goodrich has made il plain
that he will demand a showdown

economy program which. he says. is
not political program The demo-

10 establish separate department Of

10 abolish certain state Offices We're
the important bills pending today

final two weeks Of the 1917 session.
The excise tax bill on corporations

MADRID (via Paris). Feb. 10
Spanish neutrality was the subject
of animated discussion in the Cortes
Saturday night, when several depu-
ties. including Seniors Rodes and
Garcia, questioned the premier,
Count De Romanones. on the atti-
tude of the government in the war.
Deputy Rodes demanded an explicit
statement upon the motives actual
ing the governments policy and
upon what il proposed TO do.
The premier. in reply. said that
the government was. above all, neu-
trail as between the two opposing
elements and had shown its attitude
very distinctly in the action taken
in connection with several moves by
the United States; one the invitation
to intervene for the re-establish-
ment of peace, and another, an in
vitation TO declare war against Ger
many.
Deputy COrrects Premier.
Deputy Rodes. interrupting the
premier. said that this declaration
by Count De Romanones was incor-
rect. because the United States had
never invited Spain to declare war.
Amid considerable excitement in
the chamber. caused by this remark.
the premier replied that in reality
the United States had invited Spain
only to break off diplomatic rela-
tiOns with Germany and added:
Spain is the friend of all the bel
ligerents and all neutrals and for
that very reason it cannot undertake
discussions or negotiations which
would have the effect of injuring our
friendships and our tranquility"
Eduardo Dato, ex-premier. and
leader of the conservatives, said that
his party would support the existing
neutrality of Spain. Senior Cambo.
chief of the CatalOnians, made a
similar declaration.
Radical FavOrs Intervention.
Finally, Alexandra Lerroux, chief
of the radicals. declared in favor Of
Intervention which would secure at
tention and respect for the opinions
Of the chamber
The members Of the COrtes list
ened silently and eventually the
chamber declared that in Spain
hatred did not exist against any
country. but that individual sympa-
this had been attracted toward those
countries which had shown friend
ship to Spain.
Nelquiades Alvarez. leader of the
reformist party, expressed the SYM
pathy of the refOrmists with the en-
tente powers.
The premier closed the debate by
declaring that the government would
maintain with pride its neutrality
and would defend all points of it's
