SPAIN ROUNDS UP
FASCIST LEADERS
Preparation for Subversive

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID. July 16.-A roundup of
hundreds of Fascist chiefs and sub
chiefs, as we'll as some leaders Of ex-
treme Right parties, was in full
swing today throughout Spain.
Government officials declared the
detentions were in progress because
they learned instructions were re-
ceived by these leaders to prepare a
subversive movement"
Mounting disorders over labor and
political disputes brought Spain's
casualty record to % killed and So
wounded in the last two weeks.
Ten of the deaths resulted from
fighting in the past two days, which
brought governmental fears of a
prospective Socialist coup d'etat. Po-
lice and guard forces added strength
to their drive against Fascists, with
$50 party members already jailed.
In the government cleanup pro-
gram started today considerable
quantities of arms were seized.
A Barcelona civil guard captain and
several guards were wounded in a
clash with suspected group Of men
who fed in an automobile.
Numerous Fascist and Rightist lead
ers were arrested in Barcelona and 48
pistols were conflscated
Cartagena was heavily patrolled as
a result of a general strike paralyzing
the city.
A state Of alarm was extended for
another month.
As reports OF Socialist attempt to
establish a dictatorship continued to
flood the country, leaders of Socialist
and Communist youth groups ordered
their followers to stand in readiness.
Strikes, many on wages and hours
continued in some sections. while
walkouts in other places were settled.

BY JOHN c. HEr.RY.

Administration pressure and ingen-
ious negotiating will be necessary to
save the labor movement in America
from a sharp and decisive split within
the next three weeks, 1t was indicated
today.
This circumstance became apparent
in conversation with sources close to
John L. Lewis, chairman Of the Com
mittee for Industrial Organization.
From these sources it was learned
that Lewis considers the summons to
trial on August before the Executive
Council of the American Federation
Of Labor no more binding than its
previous invitation to conference. The
latter was ignored and the former
probably will be.
Lewis himself would make no COM
ment this morning other than to say
he had not seen the formal charges
approved by the council yesterday.
Green Extends Olive Branch.
The likelihood of successful nego
tiations before August is not at all
remote, however, since William Green,
president Of the federation, openly
extended hope Of conciliation last
night.
The councils bill Of particulars in
case a trial must be held will be for
warded to officials Of IL member
unions Of the C. !. o.
In the event no peaceful settlement
is reached, the trial will be upon four
specific charges filed with the council
by John P. Frey. president of the Metal
Trades Department of the federation.

In making his announcement and
disclosing his hopes of peace, Green
revealed that administration forces
have been at work in the effort to heal

"CONFESS|ON" HIT
BY FARNSWORTH
Former Navy Officer to Give
Spy Case Details After
Engaging Counsel.

Flat denial of a reported "confes-
sion" was made today by John S.
Farnsworth, former lieutenant COM
mander in the Navy. held on charges
of selling confidential Navy plans and
operations to an official of the jap
aneSe Navy.
Farnsworth sent down word from
his jail cell that "the reported con-
fession' is absolutely untrue" He
stated that his counsel has not been
definitely chosen, but that at later
date he would give full details.
Explaining his statement that he
had given no confidential information
to the Japanese Navy, Farnsworth said
that any of the photographs he showed
or gave away could have been secured
from the Navy public relations Office
with the exception of some personal
photographs used to prove his former
standing in the Navy.
He also said that his own copy Of
the documents he is alleged to have
sold, so far as he knows, was burned
a year ago when he moved from his
home in Chevy Chase. He admitted
having seen later copy, but denied
having communicated its contents to
any Japanese officer.
Visited by Attorneys.
Franklin K. Lane, jr., son of the for
mer Secretary of the Interior and a
Washington attorney, visited Farms
worth in his cell yesterday afternoon
and this morning, according to T. M.
Rives, superintendent of the Jail.
Asked whether the plans which Navy
officials have charged he sold to the
Japanese government were of such i'm
portance that the whole naval STRAIT
egy would have to be changed, Farms
worth said he could answer that ques-
ton, but that there were SO many an
giles that he dares not start any "an-
tagonistic discussion" until he had
mapped out a plan Of defense.
"That I have not even started to
do" he said. "But when have done
so, I shall certainly give out all the
dope"
Fear of precipitating an "interna-
tional incident" meanwhile had State,
Navy and Justice officials in huddle
concerning what move to make next
In their investigation Of the case.
It appeared certain there would be
no arrest of the Officer and agent OF
the imperial japanese Navy" to whom
Farnsworth is alleged to have sold a
highly confidential Navy book on fleet
naneuvers.
This is because it has developed that
the Japanese officer in question is
clothed with diplomatic immunity
from arrest. The name Of the off,
Ger is being closely guarded by Of
f1cials because of the embarrassing
circumstances"
The question at issue now is whether
representations should be made to the
Japanese government for the recall Of
its agent. it was learned today. The
State Department is understood to be
extremely reluctant to do this for
fear Of causing friction with Japan

announced they have NO knowledge

GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY

In the years that have followed,
that sentiment has remained the
dedication of this nation: Among
the nations of the great western
hemisphere the policy of The good
neighbor has happily prevailed At
no time in the four and a half CEN
turtles of modern civilization in the
Americas has there exiSted-in any
year, any decade or any genera
ton in all my time-a greater spirit
Of mutual understandings, of COM
mon helpfulness and of devotion to
the ideals a self-government than
exists today in the 81 American re-
publics and their neighbor, the
Dominion of Canada. This policy
of the good neighbor among the
Americas is no longer a hope-no
longer an objective remaining to be
accomplishments is a fact, active,
present, pretinent and effective. In
this achievement, every American
nation takes an understanding part.
There is neither war, nor rumor of
war, nor desire for war. The in

hundred and fifty million strong,
spreading more than 5000 miles from
the Arctic to the Antarctic, believe
in, and propose to follow, the policy
of the good neighbor: They wish
with all their heart that the rest
of the world might do likewise.
The rest of the world-ah! there
is the rub.
Were I today to deliver an in
augural address to the people of
the United States, I could not limit
my comments on world affairs to
one paragraph. With much regret
I should be compelled to devote the
greater part to world affairs. Since
the summer of that same year of
1888, the temper and the purpose
of the rulers of many of the great
populations in Europe and in Asia
have not pointed the way either to
peace or to goodwill among men.

FOLLOW LEADERS BLINDLY

mat, unfortunately, is not so
clear. 1t might be true that the
masses of the people in those ma
lions would change the policies of
thelr governments if they could be
allowed full freedom and full ac-
cess to the processes of democratic
government as we understand them
But they do not have that access:
Lacking it they follow blindly and
1ervently the lead of those who seek
autocratic power.
Nations seeking expansion. seek

latlon or even for their own peace

civilization, fail to demonstrate
that patience necessary to attain
reasonable and legitimate detectives
by negotiation or by an appeal to
the finer instincts of world Justice.
They have therefore impatiently
reverted to the old belief in the law
OF the sword, or to the fantastic
conception that they, and they alone,
are chosen to fulfill a mission and
that all the others among the bill
lion and half of human beings
must and shall learn from and be
subject to them.
I recognize that these words which
I have chosen with elaboration will
not prove popular in any nation
that chooses to fit this shoe to it's
foot,

admitted their failure and had alb
dicated.
THEY SEEK OLD POWER

Abdicated? Yes, in 1893, but now
with the passing of danger they for
get their damaging admissions and
withdraw their abdication.
They seek the restoration of their
selfish power. They offer to lead
us back round the. same old corner
into the same old dreary street.
Yet there are still determined
groups that are intent upon that
very thing. Vigorously held up to
poplar examination their true char
acter reveals itself. They steal the
livery of great national constitu-
tional ideals to serve discredited
special interests. AS guardians and
trustees for great groups of in
dividual stockholders they wrongful
ly seek to carry the property and
the interests intrusted to them into
the arena of partisan politics.
They seek-this minority in bust
ness and finance-to control and
often do control and use for their
own purposes legitimate and highly
honored business associations; they
engage in vast propaganda to
spread fear and discord among the
people-they would gang up"
against the peoples liberties.
The principle that they would in
still into government if they sue
coed in Selling power is we'll shown
by the principles which many of
them have instilled into their own
affairs: autocracy toward labor,
toward stockholders and toward
consumers. Autocrats in smaller
things, they seek autocracy in big
ger things. "By their fruits We shall
know them"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-01-04
HOPES FOR COOPERATION

I thrust that these detectives thus
clearly and unequivocally stated
will be carried forward by co-opera-
ton between this Congress and the
President.
I realize that I have emphasized
to you the gravity of the situation
which confronts the people of the
world. This emphasis is justified
because of its Importance to civili-
cation and therefore to the United
States. Peace is jeopardized by the
few and not by the many. Peace
is threatened by those who seek
selfish power. The world has wit
messed similar eras-as in the DAYS
when petty kings and feudal barons
were changing the map of Europe
every fortnight, or when great en-
perors and great kings were engaged
in a mad scramble for colonial en-
pire
We hope that we are not again
at the threshold of such an era.
But if face It we must, then the
United States and the rest of the
Americas can play but one role:
through a. well-ordered neutrality
to do naught to encourage the con-
test, through adequate defense to
save ourselves from embodiment
and attack, and through example
and all legitimate encouragement
and assistance to persuade other
nations to return to the ways of
peace and goodwill.
