Europe to Push
Arms Embargo
Against Spain
BY KINGSBURY SMITH

LONDON, Aug. 81 QN.S).
Great Britain and France took
drastic measures today to gun
starve the Spanish revolution
out Of existence.
Official announcement was
made that both nations have
launched a move to clamp down
a Europe-wide embargo on arms
and ammunition to strife-torn
Spain.
French and British ENJOYS to
II European countries which
have not yet imposed embargoes
Of their own accord have been
instructed to bring pressure to
bear on the respective govern
ments to which they are accred-
tied, in the hope of obtaining
immediate action.
Great Britain, France, Germany
and Soviet Russia already have
imposed embargoes upon arms to
Spain. Portugal has acquiesced
to representations from Britain
and France, following charges in
the French Socialist press the
Spanish rebels are receiving the
bulk Of their supplies from Lisbon,
and agreed to impose an embargo
Immediately.

u. 5. BUILDING
GAINS NOTED

Convincing evidence that the
building industry is engaged in a
cyclicaI upswing was presented in
the first six months of 1886.
Awards for building construction
in the 81 Eastern States totaled
$1,237,731 900, a gain of II per
cent over the first half of 1885.
Public works contracts amounting
to $311,023,000 were IS per cent
higher than in the corresponding
1885 period.
Giving a more accurate clue to
the basic trend were $918.557 900
Of contracts awarded by private
enterprise, according to an analy-
sis appearing in Poor's Investment
Advisory Service. This increase of
81 per cent occurred without the
artificial stimulant adhering to
public works. The largest gain in
the private field was industrial
building, amounting to 83,711,-
900, a gain of 90.6 per cent.

i. 5. TO IGNORE
SPANS PORT
BLOCKADE
BY ROBERT G. NIXON

The United States Government
today tore to shreds paper"
blockade by the Madrid govern
ment of insurgent-held Spanish
ports.
In a firm note to the radical
regime Secretary of State Hull
declared the American Govern
ment will not recognize the clos
ing of Spanish ports unless they
are "effectively blockaded" by
Spanish warShips.
The paper" blockade was pro-
claimed by Spain in a verbal
notification to the American en-
bassy in Madrid that merchant
vessels will not be permitted to
enter a war zone" arbitrarily
set up around insurgent ports on
the Spanish mainland in Morocco
and in the Balearic and Canary
Islands.
PrecedentS Cited
Invoking international law, this
Government reminded the radi-
Gals that, to be effective, block
ade must be maintained by a
force sufficient to prevent entry
or departure from the port.
Secretary Hulls note to Spain
asserted:
my Government directs me
to inform you that, with the
friendlieSt feelings toward the
Spanish government, it cannot
admit the legality of any action
on the part of the Spanish gov
ernment in declaring such ports
closed unless that government
declares and maintains an ef-
fective blockade of such ports.
I'm taking this position my
Government is guided by long
line of precedents in interna-
tiOnal law with which the Span
ish government is doubtless IA
miliar."
Warning Asked
In presenting its ultimatum,
the Spanish government asked
that American merchant vessels
be warned to stay away from
the war zone so that possible
incidents may be avoided"
The Spanish declaration of its
paper" blockade stated:
Spanish ports in the power
Of the rebels as well as those
of Ceuta and MeliIla and the
ports of our prescription zone
in Morocco, Balearic and Ca
nary Islands. have all been de,
cIared a war zone and there
fore it is not possible for the
ships of our fleet to permit
the entry into them Of mer-
chant ships in order in this
way to prevent furnishing Of
provinces of Almeria. Murcia,
Alicante and Badajoz supplies

of the Madrid embassy. reported
he believed all other governments
likewise had been warned.

Professor Praises
Women as Drivers

The country's only college pro
fessor in automobile driving in
struction was in the city today
and had a few kind words to say
about women drivers. He is Prof.
Amos E. Neyhart. who is on
years leave from Pennsylvania
State College, where he taught
1T persons to drive, none OF
whom has figured in the slightest
kind of auto accident.
Prof. Neyhart said that there
is no reason why women cannot
become as good, if not better,
drivers than men. Most difficult
part of instructing beginners to
drive, Prof. Neyhart said, involves
teaching skillful shifting of gears
and smooth starting and stopping.

D. {. BUSINESS
GAINS HOLD

Despite reports from a number
Of other cities that retail business
during the past week or two has
not held up to expectation, Wash
ington retail stores are registering
no such complaint, according to a
checkup.
While this is recognized as a
generally quiet end-of-the-month
period, a preholiday calm preced-
ing Labor Day and the ending of
summer vacations, nevertheless,
compared with like periods in re-
cent years. business is holding its
own.
The Washington Clearin G
House estimates that for the first
three weeks of the current month
check payments here were some
20 per cent greater than during
the first three weeks of August
last year. This indicates that the
gain Of approximately 20 per cent
in check payments already noted
for the first seven months of the
year will continue through the
current month.
Another indication that Wash
ington is maintaining its business
ship on an even keel is found in
reports regarding annual furni-
ture sales now in progress. While
there is no spectacular or unpre-
cedented buying in this line, it is
confidently expected that by the
time the sale period is concluded
the business transacted will equal
or exceed that reported at the
end of last years sales.
