Camp McCloskey. Johnstown, Pa, Aug 1 = (UPJ - The red-haired mayor of Johnstown turned his credit into 1000 loaves and 15O pounds of bacon to feed a starv- ing multitude of war veterans to- day after pleading in vain for President Hoover and the Red Cross to act "in the name of com mon decency and humanity"

 "Ill pay for it when get my pay check Wednesday" he told the merchants. His credit based on his reputation and a s3,50O salary was good, so the multitude will live on bread and bacon as another multitude was fed on bread and fishes.

 Berlin, Aug 1-(UP)-A heavy toll of dead and wound ed was counted to-day as re- turns came in from yester- days parliamentary elections in which Adolph Hitler's fas. cists fell far short of the n.a- jority they had hoped to get.
 An unofficial total gave 26. dead and more than POO wounded in street fighting. Reports coming in slowly from isolated sections indi- cated the death toll for the election week would easily be 30 or 40.
 The hitlerites, chagrined at the resultof the voting, pro- posed through their news paper, Der Angriff, that the returns be revised by sup pressing { he communist party, inva!idating the.

Confiscation in Spain.

With a suddenness that will take
people In this country completely by
surprise, Spanish American relations
are seriously clouded by impending
action In the Cortes at Madrid. Accord
ing to a bill just introduced by the
government, it is proposed to confiscate,
for purposes of naturalization and
state ownership, the National Telephone
Company of Spain, in which an Amer
lean corporation, the International Tele-
phone & Telegraph Company, has a
majority interest Of $4,000, 900.
The United States Government has
promptly and vigorously objected to the
threatened action The conhscatory
legislation is opposed not only because
Of the immense intrinsic loss to Amer
lean interests involved, but because such
"unilateral" action on the part Of the
Spanish government Is contrary to the
comfy of nations and the fundamental
principles of international law. The
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1932-12-06

State Departments protest at Madrid
goes the length Of intimating that If
the projected confiscation is carried out
the American Ambassador may be with
drawn and diplomatic relations with
Spain automatically broken of.
The contract under which the Amer
lean telephone corporation operates
the Spanish telephone system was en-
tered into in 1924, during the dictator
ship Of Gen. Primo de Rivera and the
waning years of King Alfonso's reign.
The affair was denounced in Spain at
the time as deal which was accom-
plished through bribery of public Off
Gals, but those charges were never
pressed or Substantiated, and do not
now form the basis of the governments
confiscatory enterprise. Soon after the
overthrow of the monarchy the repub-
Hcans introduced and then shelved a
bill to abrogate the Americans con-
tract. Recently radical deputies in the
Cortes insisted upon reviving the issue,
and the government yielded to their
demands, though indicating its reluc-
lance to pursue policy which might
cause a rift with the United States.
Important in itself as the l. T. & It's
imbroglio with Spain is, it assumes spe-
cial significance because of the COM
panys far-flung interests in twenty other
countries which might look to Spain
for leadership. Many of these are Latin
American States. The United States
has always taken consistent and strong
ground against confiscation Of its ma
tionals' interests by foreign govern
mentS. Recurring difficulties with Mex
leo resulted from such threats to Amer
lean commercial rights. American re-
fusal to recognize Soviet Russia springs
in part from the Communists conf1sca-
ton of hundreds of millions of dollars
worth of American property and Mos
cows stubborn opposition to any form
of restitution.
A vital principle Of international law
is involved in the pending dispute with
Spain, and its outcome will be watched
with abiding interest in other capitals
than Washington and Madrid. The
menace which SPANS action connotes
could overtake the nationals of any
country, so Americas present stand at
Madrid has far-reaching implications.

Two thousand people who lost their
lives in Cuba in last weeks hurricane
are the latest Of many thousands who
have, ever since man first knew the
Caribbean Islands, been periodically
sacrificed to the storms that brew at
sea, come swirling in between North
and South America and lay waste those
lands nestled beside the Gulf Stream.
Cuba, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Santo Do
mingo, Haiti and even the Florida main
land have all felt that fury and seen
their homes destroyed, their fields
devastated and their people left dead
or dying. 1t is the old, old story of
wind and torrential rain striking at
lands that are forever recovering and
never safe.
Both Haiti and Puerto Rico have
often felt the blow. Last year Puerto
Rico felt it again. The year before that
Haiti was particularly hard hit. Four
years ago Puerto Rico was strewn with
ruin, and Cuba as well was left battered
and in mourning. In 1926 an eSpe-
cially violent storm roared through the
Caribbean and struck the mainland in
Florida with terrific fury. Other years
have seen such storms whip across the
blue waters and go whirling even up
the Mississippi Valley.
It Is q storm center of the Western
World, and the plight of its people
comes directly from the hurricane.
Whether its storms are bred in the
sWirling ocean currents, in the trade
winds or in the distant upper atmos-
phere, the result is the same-death,
devastation and constant battles with
q merciless storm god.

"The startling program Of the Dali
Nankokai, band of patriotic assassins,
which has invited ardent young subal-
terms in the imperial army and navy
to snuff out the lives of high japanese
officials" is a subject of comment by
the Chicago Daily News, which de-
clares: In view of the means en-
ployed, 1t is not surprising that the
Japanese army and navy get what they
want from the legislative and admins
trative branches of the government.
Despite the deplorable condition of
Japan'S agriculture, industry and COM
merce and the shaky position of the
yen, the imperial cabinet has just
adopted the largest budget in Japanese

poses. Indeed, the military appropria-
lions aggregate S164.000, 900, though
Japan's income from taxes is estimated
at only $138,4O0,000. A total deficit Of

American methods in Panama draws
from the Louisville Courier Journal the
statement in reply: MANY worse things

Stamps.

The third exhibition of the Washing
ton Philatelic Society, which opened
yesterday, demonstrates that in the
Capital, If not elsewhere, philately is a
real science, not merely a pleasant pas
time or harmless hobby. Stamp col
iecting has taken its place with nun1is-
mates among the cultural studies. So
complex and intricate is the subject
that to be a master in the field sig
nifes long years of application and ex-
perience. Yet so simple is it in its
fundamentals that the average school
boy may enter upon a philatehc career
unafraid. Democracy prevails. and al
corners are welcome.
Warren Irving Glover, Second As
sistant Postmaster General and founder
Of the philatelic agency of the Post

lecting world, and it therefore is mo-
remarkable that the present show
