Samper anez Cabinet
Lacks Support From Left
lists and Conservatives.
BY the Associated Press.

6y Inc ASSoclateo freSS.
MADRID, April 2S.-Premier- Desig-
nate Ricardo Samper Ibanez, q dark
horse hitherto in the detailed Spanish
political picture, formed a cabinet to-
day whose composition is much like
the preceding one.
The new ministry lacks the "con-
ciliation coalition which Samper
Ibanez promised when he undertook
the job Of seeking to effect peace in
this troubled country.
Three Leftists and Conservative
leaders refused to participate in the
new government or support it on the
grounds that ut solves nothing and
the situation Is as bad or worse than
before" Leftists and Socialists openly
predicted this cabinet would not last
long.
Amnesty Bill Danger.
Its most imminent danger was said
to lie In the possibility that the ques-
ton will be raised in Congress next
week regarding the now famous note
OF President Alcala Zamora, in which
he objected to provisions of a political
amnesty bill. The cabinet of Premier
Alexandra Lerroux quit five days ago
in the belief that the Presidents
action indicated lack of confidence.
II Congress votes on whether the
note should be read into the public
record and rejected by a majority of
the chamber, reliable quarters be-
leved, President Alcala Zamora's res
fgnation would virtually be forced
since such action would signify lack
OF confidence in the chief executive.
Most leaders, however, predicted
that Samper Ibanez' government
would resign before permitting such
a vote.
List Of Choices
Samper Ibanez submitted the fol-
lowing list Of cabinet choices to the
President:
Premier, Ricardo Samper Ibanez:
state. Pita Romero; interior, Rafael
Salazar Alfonso; war, Diego Hidalgo;
navy, Jose Franco y Rocha: justice,
Vincente Cantos; treasury, Manuel
Marraco; education, Filiberto Villa
Lobos; industry, .'icente Iranzo En-
guita; public works, Guerra Del Rio;
labor. Jose Estadella: agriculture
Clrilo Del Rio; communication, Jose
Maria Cid.
The only new faces are Cantos, a
deputy. and a member of Samper
1banez's Radical Republican party:
Villa Lobos. Liberal Democrat and
well known lawyer, and Iranzo En-
guita, former minister of war and In.
dependent Republican.
The premier offered a
portfolio to Sigredo Blasco, son of the
famous novelist, Blasco Ibanez, but
the youthful Valencia leader r fused
Deputies Aid Claimed.
Samper Ibanez announced the gov
ernment would be presented to Alcala
Zamora Monday at the presidential
palace and would be submitted to
Congress next Wednesday.
With the aSsuI ance he had the sup
port of 268 deputies, 81 more than a
quorum, Samper Ibanez felt he salts
fed all jor parties. He is SO. law
yer, sociologist, and a former minister
of industry and commerce.
Labor and political disorders con-
tinued. particularly at Zaragoza and
Barcelona. Some observers saw a
danger in the coincidence between the
beginning of the new cabinets official
life and May day.

British Favor Convening of Steer
ing Committee,

LONDON, April % R).-Press re-
ports from Washington saying an in
definite postponement of the Dis
armament Conference scheduled for
May 20 was being discussed created
scarcely a ripple today in British
official circles.
No such suggestion has been made
by Great Britain, it was said.
While authoritative sources declined
to commit themselves whether pro-
posal for adjournment would be well
coined or opposed, it was indicated
that the British government believes
the conference Steering Committee
should assemble as planned.
It is thought that leaders here feel
the parley should be convened in
order to furnish an opportunity for
a further airing of the widely diver
gent viewpoints OH disarmament.

that actual relief needs Of the District
require an outlay OF $l,000,000 a
month.
Hopkins yesterday issued instruc-
tions that 100000 be placed to the
credit of the District for relief opera
tions during the first two weeks OF
May. He also granted s7l,432 for
transient relief and $3.50 for student
aid in local universities. These two
grants, however, are for the entire
month of May.
1900 Ask for Work.
The attitude taken by Hopkins in
dicates that the Federal agency in
tends to keep the brakes applied until
they are satisfied that District relief
disbursements are justified.
An ofiicial check-up yesterday re-
vealed that some II 900 persons found
eligible for Washington relief have re-
ported for assignments for work under
the Emergency Works Administra-
ton here. A total of $4,000 work.
assignment cards, however, has been
issued. The presumption is that the
1000 unaccounted for either have
found employment In private fields
or prefer to stay on the direct relief
roll instead of working for modest
salaries paid by E. w. A. officials
say.
Capt. Clark announced yesterday
the District would take over from
Federal E. w. A. 81 artists who have
been engaged in decoration of several
Government structures here. Their
E. w. A. salaries will be paid, how
ever, out of Federal funds. This shift
was ordered to permit completion of
projects started under the Civil Works
Administration program. A number
of schools and buildings at the ZOO
are concerned in the matter.
Capt. Clark said it may be neces-
sary to postpone. at least temporarily,
projects for improvement at the Navy
Yard, Naval Observatory, Howard Uni
versity, National Industrial Training
School for Boys and the Washington
Public Library, because of lack of suf-
ficient funds to hire the necessary
skilled workmen under the E. W. A.
program. He said means of complet-
ing the dormitory buildings at Lor-
ton. Va, were being sought.

U.S.URGED TO TAKE
RACIAL REFUGEES
Ellis Island Group Says
Freedom Tradition Should
Be Preserved.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 2S.-Admission
of religious and racial refugees into
the United States was urged today by
the Ellis Island Committee in a report
to Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins.
The committee, composed Of prom
inent citizens, under the Craftsmanship
Of Carleton H. Palmer, recommended
a general liberalization of the admins
| tration of immigration laws.
Expressing SatiSfac ction with the
quota system and finding no reason
for substantial amendment of the laws
themselves, the committee said:
Special Cases.
"It is unthinkable that with millions
still unemployed, we should open our
doors to aliens who would be leaving
refuge in their own country to seek
work here"
Refugees, at this time, deserve spe-
cial consideration, the report set forth,
adding:
Asylum FOR those who flee from
religious, racial and political persecu-
ton is one Of the Oldest and most
valued of American traditions. From
the time of the Pilgrims this country
has been built up by immigrants who
came here to escape oppression and
enjoy liberty. Our share of this un-
fortunate group can be taken care of
within the present quotas and without
amendment to the law. BY doing so
we can meet their need, uphold our
own traditions and fulfill the moral
obligation that rests upon U.S."
Jews Would Benefit.
The report made no reference to
any class of refugees, but the recon-
mendation was generally interpreted
to refer to Jewish refugees from the
German Reich.
the United States under professional
clause. In times past, others have
come into the country under League
of Nations passport. But refugees as
unit are excluded unless they come
in under quota.
The Ellis Island report also urged
a liberalization of admission and de-
portation methods, particularly with
reference to unifying families and the
belief in radical doctrines.
Extreme caution was counseled
against separation of families, either
on entrance or in deportation proceed
ings and humane leniency OF the
laws to this end was urged.

so far as we are concerned, it is
up to Europe to decide whether 1t

say that it does not look encourag-

A decision whether to have the
United States represented in the
meeting at Geneva late next month
was apparently deferred pending some
private soundingS on behalf of the
Roosevelt administration. The feel
ing is strong that the Disarmament
Conference will be dead unless a
more conciliatory spirit should de-
velop abroad in the meantime.

Davis said he stood ready to go, If

II shall go provided we have an
indication that the meeting of the
commission is going to be serious

In all of his conferences here dur
ing the last three days, Davis has
made no secret of his distrust of
armament results with Europe in its
present state of mind. But even If
the arms negotiations once more
break down, he foresees no immediate
danger of a European war. Such a
conflict, he argues, would not come
for several years, if at all. He does
not believe a movement toward war
by any government would find sup
port on the part of the people of that
country.
The discussion of the disarmament
outlook was only one phase of busy
day for Secretary Hull, who was deal
ing with important international de-
velopments in Europe, the Orient and
Latin America Before going to the
White House, he indicated to news
paper men that State Department of
ficials will study the text of the Jap

deciding whether there shall be a re-
ply or any other action taken.

Declaring that public relief IS unsat-
isfactory, Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins today suggested that a work
ing day short enough to make it
necessary to absorb into industry
millions Of unemployed" can be es-
tablished.
Addressing the Tennessee Valley
Institute at the University of Chat
tanooga, Miss Perkins said that 1.-The
challenge of industry today, and to
all of us for that matter, is to find a
way to build up the purchasing power
Of the American people"
Way to Build Market.
'The purpose of the whole recovery
program" she continued, "is not only
to improve conditions of labor in the
South, North, East and West but to
improve them because of a recogni-
tion that the only way to build up an
internal market for our mass produc-
ton of goods is to build up the
purchasing power of the farmer and
wage Garner"
For industrial workers, she added
"this can be done by providing day
short enough to make it necessary to
absorb into industry millions of un-
employed, and by raising the wage
rates of those employed to a point
which makes it possible for them tc
purchase the produce of the farmer
and the products of industry"
Discussing unemployment insurance
she said that such insurance must be
made compulsory so that all employ
ers would have equal competitive costs
in industry"
Permanent Hours Limit.
Miss Perkins also advocated per
manent" limitation of working hours,
prohibition of child labor, adequate
workmen's compensation, provision for
aged workers, free public employment
exchanges and improved and stronger
administration of labor laws.
In an interview previous to her
address Secretary Perkins said that
"the new deal is a success as far as
it has gone" but emphasized today
that I'VE are not through the woods. "
Saying pay rolls throughout the
country have increased an average OF
16 per cent during the last year, she
predicted a gradual decrease In ex-
penditures for emergency employment

Senate Committee Rejects
Bill Authorizing Loans to
Private Business.
BY the Associated Press.

by IIle hSSOClSLeC ETeSS.
Legislation to set up a $3.50. 900 900
fund in Federal Reserve banks for
flve-year loans to industry under lin
tied terms was approved yesterday by
the Senate Banking Committee.
In so doing the committee turned
give the Reconstruction Corporation
broad power to make direct loans to
private business up to the limit OF
funds available to that agency.
President Roosevelt and his fnan-
cial advisers favored the bill ap-
proved, the author of which was Sen
ator Glass, Democrat, of Virginia, but
some Senators privately expressed the
view this plan would not provide the
credit relief necessary and that the
r. F. c. measure should also be en-
acted to supplement the Glass bill.
Barkley Sees Reversal.
Senator Barkley. Democrat, of Ken
lucky, who arrived at the committee
meeting after the vote had been taken
moved to reconsider the action. He
predicted the committee would reverse
itself Monday and approve the R. F. C.
plan.
Eugene Black, governor of the Fed
eral Reserve Board, attended the meet
ing and expressed approval of the COM
mittee's action on the Glass bill. which
is a compromise with the Reserve
Boards original plan for the creation
Of IL credit banks.
Under the Glass bill the loans would
be made through banks or other credit
agencies, with the latter taking 20 pei
cent of the risk, except in extraordi-
nary circumstances when loans could
be made direct.
Such direct advances could only be
made, however, when the Reserve
Bank found that IAN established in
dustrial or commercial business
within its district was unable to OBJ
tain requisite financial assistance on
a reasonable basis from the usual
sources"
s1s9,299,557 Available.
The surplus of the Federal Reserve
Banks would be available for the
loans. This is now s139, ,29e ,557, but
it would be doubled by the Treasury
paying to the banks what they have
paid out for stock in the Federal De-
posit Insurance Corporation.
This money would be taken by the
Treasury from its profits on devalua-
ton of the dollar. In return the
Treasury would receive interest on the
stock, if any, or profits from the
loans up to 1 per cent.
The r. F. C. bill-urged by its
chairman, Jesse H. JoneS-which will
be considered further by the commit
tee tomorrow would authorize FIVE
year loans direct to "any established
industrial or commercial business to
enable such business to obtain work.
ing capital, reduce and refinance its
outstanding Indebtedness, or make
plant improvements or requirements. u
The only limitations on the r. F.
C's power to make the loans would
be that they must be fully and ade-
quately secured" that they be made
only when deemed to offer reason
able assurance of continued or in
creased employment to labor" and
that when used to reflnance existing
Indebtedness shall be made in con-
nection with substantial write down
thereof and such other adjustments
in capital structure as may be con-
sidered desirable"
