FOR
MOBILIZATION
0FINDUSTRIE'S''
Commons Discusses Diff
Guilty Of Mediterranean
as War Theatre
PROVISION FOR FOOD
IS ALSO BEING MADE

LONDON, May 22.--Plans for
the mobilization of British indus
tries in the event of war in Eu-
rope were fastened today and a
vast program for facilitating mu-
nitions production, speeding up
airplane deliveries, providing food
supplies for the civil population,
and protecting the lifeline of the
empire began to take concrete
form.
Debate in the house of COM
mons emphasized the difficulty of
holding the Mediterranean Sea in
the event of war with Italy.
Italy's ambassador to England,
Dino Grand, conferred yesterday
with Sir. Sidney G. Van Stirrat,
permanent under secretary Of
foreign affairs, and authoritative
sources said the conference took
up general discussion of the
Ethiopian situation. 1t was the
first visit of Grand to the foreign
office since he presented a copy
of the Italian decree. annexating
Ethiopia.
Two. situations apparently were.
involved in the British preparE-
tions: First the .Italo. Ethiopisn
sitnation, in, which; viscount Gran
borne, parliamentary under see
rotary for foreign affairs, told the
house of commons yesterday the
government is taking steps to
clear up the whereabouts of l.. j.
Bonner, Red Cross worker, re-
ported arrested at Diredawa.
And second, the Palestine
Egypt affair, in which Prime Min
lister Stanley Baldwin told the
house of commons Britain would
tolerate no interference.
Authoritative sources said that
reinforced guards at British and
French legations in Adds Ababa
would remain on duty III spite Of
Italian hints that they be reduced.
This was understood to be the CELL
trail point in. the conference yes
terday.
In it's industrial program the
government has offered subsidies
to automobile companies for en-
tering the field of airplane manu-
facture in an effort to increase
production. Contracts for tools,
machines and guages to be used
nj munitions manufacture, were
expected to be placed Within a
few days.

One faction in the Republican party
Is already demanding that the @. o. P.
be purged Of all Old Guard leaders.
This faction wants the party made
more liberal. It wants the Republican
party to get away from all suspicion
Of being the party Of the rich and the
big interests There is another fac
ton that believes the party should be
conservative.
The Roosevelt New Dealers have
made the Democratic party the most
liberal the country has ever known, II
by liberal is meant party supporting
measures looking to social security,
measures providing for Government
control of business and measures de-
signed to advance the interests of
labor. Just how the Republicans can
get anywhere with liberal party Is a
conundrum. However. it does seem
difficult for the Republicans to stage
q comeback as long as they are re-
garded by the great mass of people as
being the party of the very rich.

League Replies to Attack
by Priest in Coming
Issue of Paper.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
DETROIT, November 81. - Rev.
Charles z. Coughlin tonight had the
answer Of the Catholic Laymen's
League to an article in next Mondays
issue of Social Justice, in which he
saws the league has attacked him
more viciously than has any Com
fiunist in America"
Father Coughlin said in the article
he had suspended activities OF his
National Union for Social Justice be-
cause of "barricade, builded by no
superior, but by the laity and the
clergy in America"
He mentioned the Laymen's League
as an example of the opposition he
received from the laity, and Msgr.
John A. Ryan, professor at Catholic
University in Washington, D. c., as
an example Of opposition from the
clergy.
Resent Communist Link.
In a telegram to Father Coughlin
last night, the league said
We strongly resent your linking
NOlu WIN ouA iNo6aSs
which Is composed exclusively OF
American citizens of the Catholic
faith. We also submit that our at
tacks on your political activities were
not half as vicious as your personal
attacks on the President Of the United
States, and on cabinet officers, and
on other high officials of this country.
icy,n a
than you have ever have and, what
Is more important, We have helped to
practically eliminate the Communist
faction in American politics. We did
this by opposing you and your reac-
tionary allies in the campaign just
ended, who have been the chief To-
menters of communism by breeding
the causes that foster it.
Wish to End Controversy.
THE political campaign having
ended weeks ago, We have no desire
to prolong the political controversy.
We would rather continue our sincere
desire to respect you as a priest"
In his article Father Coughlin re-
ferred to Msgr. Ryan as paid en-
ploye of the New Deal Government
and spokesman for the Democratic
National Committee
Msgr. Ryan said the reference to
him was lust another example Of
reckless talk" He said he served on
the Industrial Appeals Board for pay

preme Court decision invalidating the

Latest Popular Vote Figures.
The latest figures on the popular
vote in the presidential election, COM
piled by the Associated Press, snow
the following, with all except S,Iz4
precincts to be heard from out OF a
total of 122,762 precincts: Roosevelt
os 7e1. .401: Landon, 16,3l0, ,164; Lemke,
500 344: Thomas, 159.s49; Browderr,
oo175: Colvin, 1879; Aiken, 8,153,
and scattering. 68,157; total, a. ,lOS,-
122. Roosevelts plurality over Lam
don in the vote so far reported, was
10,481 ,237.
When all the vote is in, Roosevelt
will have approximately 28,oOo,ooo ana
Tandon about 100000. Notwith-
standing the large popular vote plural
ity. these figures show that the Ne
oublicans cast about a million and
half more votes in 1886 than they did
numerous minority vote in the coun-
try. Of the combined vote cast for
Democratic and Republican candl-
dates. President Roosevelt had ap-
proximately 60.9 per cent and Landon
39.1 per cent.
This may seem devastating. How
ever, Harding, Republican, had 63.S
per cent of the popular vote cast in
the presidential election Of 1920, and
his Democratic opponent, Cox, had
ss.2 per cent. Coolidge. another Re-
publican, in 1924 had 65.2 per cent of
the popular vote, and Davis, Demo-
crat, only 348 per cent. In that year
the late Senator La Toilette OF Wis
consin. running as an independent,
cut deeply into Democratic voting
strength. In 1928, Hoover, Republic
can, had 587 per cent Of the popular
vote, and Smith, Democrat, Ais per
cent.
The Democrats, after three heavy
defeats in 1920, 1924 and 1928, staged
a comeback in 1882, and Roosevelt had
SOL per cent of the popular vote, to
400 per cent for Hoover 1t Is within
the bounds of possibility, therefore,
that the Republicans may yet stage q
return to power in 1910 or in 1914.

It is true that the Democrats never

tation during their lean years as the

program Is difilcult to guess, both be-
cause the Republican members Of the
yet to consider what stand they shall
take, and also because no one yet
knows in any detail what the Roose-
welt program Is to be. Four years ago,
when Roosevelt entered the White
House, q grave emergency confronted
the country. Republicans generally
turned to and supported the Roose-
welt measures intended to relieve the
emergency.
The same emergency does not exist
today. Conditions are vastly better
in this country. However, the people
have spoken In national election,
and the Republican members are
likely to give heed to that fact when
1t comes to voting on measures pro-
posed by the administration. These
measures probably will have to do
with business and labor and farming.
There may be further So called so
cial" legislation. The country having
gone ''liberar in the election, Re-
publican members will not be in
sensible to that fact In all probability
The Guffey coal bill, the Wagner
housing bill, both Of which were
offered during the last session, but
failed to get final action, are to be
revived. There will be demands for
legislation reviving in some measure
the control Of business along the
lines of the defunct N. r. A. There
will be demands for the 30-hour wors,
week, for the national incorporation
of businesses, SO that there may be
some control over working conditions
and trade practices. And within a
short time, an appropriation will be
asked for funds TO carry on relief
work during the remainder of the
present fiscal year-perhaps five Or
six hundred million dollars.
The Republican members of Con-
gress individually or collectively will
have to determine what their posi-
ton will be on these measures. Doubt
less they will divide on some, if not
all OF them. Hamilton, the Bsrty's S
