Lady Astor Called ''Pussyfoot''
For Campaign Stand ON Beer

PLYMOUTH, England, Nov. 13 (By
The Associated Press Feeling is. un-
usually bitter in Viscountess Astor's
campaign here. She is having a hard
fight to retain her seat and there has
been q remarkable display Of heat.
Personalities and abuse have driven
party politics into the background.
One charge which the voters have
brought against Lady Astor concerns
her stand on liquor. The favorite
epithet of those who oppose her is
"Pussyfoot," and her opponents use
the word as if it were crime.
81 am not trying to take away any
ones beer" is Lady Astor's answer.
81 want to give the voters freedom
to control the drink trade; the brewers
too often control trade in politics."
The Viscountess says she would not
countenance any confiscation of trade
without compensation. Her Conserva-
tive rival, DR.. Bayly, is for fsfreedom
and liberty, lower taxation and the old
British sporting spirit" DR.. Bayly
opposes liquor control, which Wis
countess Astor sponsored in the last
House.

pARIs, Nov. t3 (By The Associated

financial administration, we'll spiced
with internal politics, threatened sew
eral times tonight to precipitate q
Cabinet crisis in the Chamber of Depu-
ties. Premier Poncare came post
haste to the Chamber, but onl TO find
that his adherents, as several times in

government and that for the moment
there was no danger.
Maurice Bokahowski, reporter of the
Chambers Finance Committee, dissect-
ed the work of the Ministry of Finance
after Charles de Lasteyrie, Minister
OF Finance, had finished an optimistic
speech in which he said that he had no
worry about the deficit of 1000. 600 900

the estimate. Wher the minister had

said:

We simply demand that the government

farmers.

NJ. de Lasteyrie replied with & patri-

JERUSALEM, Nov. 1S (By Jewish

months ended with September only
$3.50 Jewish immigrants entered Pales-

"There> might have been political rea-

collection Of the income tax with
greater energy Especially from the
salaries Of workingmen, was one item
by which the Mussolini government
expected to increase its revenues. He
pointed out that heretofore the in

san, Bavaria, Insnires Per-
emptory Note

PARIS, Nov. 13 (By The Associated
Press).-The Allied Council of Ambas-
sadors to-day presented severely
worder note to the German Embassy for
transmission to Berlin, in which an
immediate apology is demanded for
the recent incident at Passau, Bavaria.
and several previous disturbances.
The text of the note was not given
out, but it is understood to be one of
the sharpest ever sent by the Allies
on the subject of Germany's attitude
toward the military control exercised
under the Treaty of Versailles. It
makes very clear that Germany can
not expect withdrawal of the control
commission for a long time unless "the
policy OF evasion and interference"
ceases at once. ::
In the Passau incident two Allied
military officers were attacked by 3
mob while attempting to search q
Reichswehr barracks for arms.
