RADICAL TIDE
SEEN PASSED

High tide in political radicalism
has been reached and passed, and
is now ebbing, states P. H. Whaley,
editor Of Sphere, in the trust COM
panies magazine.
Extraordinary financial schemes,
such as those contemplating out
right printing of money, will have
nowhere near the same strength in
Congress hereafter that they did
have in the dark years, according
to the article.
The permanency of private prop.
erty, it is pointed out, depends on
good government. No sooner was
the election over, Mr.. Whaley re-
marks. than the word began to
pass down, in department after
department, to this effect:
zone purpose of every policy
must be the preservation of cap
italiSm. Remember that al
ways-nO matter how radical a
program may appear to be, its
ultimate purpose is to save cap
italiSm."
"The first four years of ROOse-
welt were a surgical operation;
and the second four years should
be characterized by the medicine
Of cOnvaleScence. So long as he
is in office there is not likely to
be such a thing as tranquility or
certainty as to what will happen.
There will always be something
DOING"
For this and other reasons, this
imminent observer points out
there can no longer be such &
thing as a safe, fixed investment
and every investment is a business
mans investment, which is only
another way Of saying that it mus
be constantly watched and safe
guarded"

According to testimony before
the secret hearing, approximately
400 Liberty engines were pur-
chased indirectly by the Amtorg
Trading Corporation, Russian
organization in this country. They
were first purchased, the testi-
mony stated, by Americans from
the War Department who then
sold them to Amtorg.
The testimony was given to the
investigating committee by Basil
w. DeglaSS, who identified himself
as vice president Of the Amtorg
Corporation in 1927 and 1928.
Deglass said he headed the auto.
motive and aviation division of
Amtorg and bought Liberty en-.
gines (which we're forbidden to be
exported by the Government"
This apparent link between the
huge purchase of airplanes
engines and spare parts for ship
ment to Bilbao, Spain, and the
activities of the Soviet government
was first disclosed in testimony
before the Special House Commit
tee investigating Communist &C
tivitieS in the United States in
1890.
Export Forbidden
The Soviet purchase of airplane
engines covered the years 1927 and
1928, at a time when export of u
S. Army engines to Russia was il
legal.

DR.. Chichester, who has held

Under his direction the County

internationalists who are ready tc
go down the line in order to force
through a measure which would
leave entirely in the hands of the
President discretionary power tc
keep the United States out oi
war.
The internationalist program Is
going to be led by none other than
the ambulant Ambassador, Nor
man Davis, famed for his wan
derings over Europe with great
deal Of discretion as to his repre-
Sentations to other countries on
behalf Of America.
Mr.. Davis, it is reported, is pre-
pared to launch a propaganda
barrage on behalf of discretionary
neutrality legislation as heavy as
that which supported the i'll
fated move to take the United
States into the League of Nations
through the League Court.
Already this type of neutrality
legislation as a substitute for the
present temporary law is under
fire and much of the opposition
which will develop is expected tt
come from those who heretofore
have been lined up against the
same international group sponsor
ing the discretionary idea.
Senator Borah, of Idaho, fol
many years chairman Of Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, i
expected to fight the DaviS-typt
of measure, and Senator Vanden
berg, of Michigan, has already an
nounced his opposition.
Alternative Plan
AS against the proposal which
would give the President complete
power to chart the course of neu
trality stands the proposal to make
the. law state just what actions
shall be taken or forbidden as the
best means of keeping this country
out of quarrels of others.
The present neutrality law for
bids the shipment of arms or mum
tions of war to countries which are
at war. Little discretion is left tc
the President.
Many believe that the new Law
should follow this in principle
with amendments to take care O.
such situations as that growing
out of the civil war in Spain
There is nothing in the presen
law which could be used to pro
hibit shipment of arms to eithe'
of the Spanish factions and, IL

LAST TAG RUSH
UNDER WAY

Hundreds of belated motorists
stood in line outside the Division
of Motor Vehicles today in last
minute rush to get 1887 tags.
Up to the close of business last
night, there had been 1892 tags
issued, as against 100,444 at the
same time a year ago.
Traffic Director William A. Van
Duzer warned motorists to get
their tags-or not to drive on Janu-
ary 1. for the law on driving with
expired tags will be strictly en-
forced by police.
Yesterday some 6,174 tags were
issued, but Van Duzer estimates
that some 5000 motorists will not
receive the plates in time to drive
on New Year Day.

International News Service re
vealed some time ago that the
Pope's doctors had abandoned
hope he ever would be able to
walk again.
The bulletin stated such a bed
would be called into use only,
however, "if no complications
occur"
The bulletins optimism thus was
carefully guarded, and a high
medical authority described the
announcement as slightly too
hopeful.
Asks for Prayer
In the letter to the abbess, a
dramatic miSsive to a sister of
Saint Theresa. of the Flower,
whom he canonized in 1925. the
Pope wrote:
"Pray above all that the Pope
has strength to bear with fOrti-
tude his sufferings, and to abide
by the will of God as becomes
a POntiff."
In some quarters there were in
dicationS the canonization Of Pius
was expected in future years
when his work for peace and JUS
tice is seen in perspective.
One high prelate said today:
"The sufferings of Pope Plus
have Sublimed him in the eyes
of the Catholic world. His has
been a sanity life, whose every
act has been directed toward
betterment of the spiritual and
moral life Of all mankind"
Condition Is Same
DR.. Amanti Milani, after spend
ing more than an hour with thu
Pope early this morning, de
scribed his condition as "still sta

he passed another disturbed nigh

legs caused him many periods o
suffering wakefulnesS.
Should the closure of the veins
with which the Pope is afflicted
continue to spread and add to thu
gangrenous condition, the death
of the Pope may become a matter
of days, many Vatican authoritie'
feared.
If the gangrene spreads, ampu

LEWIS Plan 5
COAL, STEEL
ATTACK
Wants Both to Meet
Workers Demands
In Conference
By EDWARD B. LOCKETT
Interna tionaI News Service

Plans for a double-barrelled at.
tack on the coal and steel indus
tries were perfected here today
by John L. Lewis Committee for
Industrial Organization.
With a rapidly fattening treas.
ury due to special assessments on
United Mine Workers, Lewis map
ped a program designed to bring
operators and workers together
for wage and hour negotiations in
both industries simultaneously.
Already, such a conference i'm.
pendS in the coal industry. Oper-
atorS and miners are agreed to
meet in New York February II to
draft contracts to replace existing
pacts which expire March 81.
"Will Turn on Heat"
Latest operations of the C. I. ..
laid the groundwork for a similar
meeting, at the workers demands.
between the steel chieftains ana
the workers. Officials represent
ing operators here today guardedly
revealed that such a maneuver
would turn on the heat" for the
coal and steel owners to an embar.
RAISING degree.
Because there are no existing
contracts to expire in the steel
industry, Lewis and other C. I. o.
heads had to make their own op-
portunity to demand negotiations
in this field.
This latter will be brought
about by the calling of a conven-
ton Of steel workers between now
and February, the drafting of a
new program of workers demands,
and the speedy subsequent filing
with the executives of a demand
for a conference based on the new
labor program. This demand will
ask that the proposed conference
be held on or about the same date
the coal conferences are scheduled
to open, February IT.
Demands of Workers
The steel workers will demand,
among other things, abolition Of
the company union, true collec.
tive bargaining, and shorter hours.
Their convention, under latest
plans, will be called soon to give
time for the drafting of their
program and for calling on execu.
tives for a wage and hour nego-
tiations meeting about February II.
Lewis has given plain indica-
tions that he is ready to strike
if workers and operators cannot
come to an agreement of some
sort, in both coal and steel-two

WISECRACKING
ARCHDUKE
Edward Drops Deal
For Castle; Resents
SIur on Women
BY ALFRED TYRNAUER

VIENNA, Dec. 30 G.N.SD.-An
archduke's jokes about American
women today wrecked possible
sale of his castle to the Duke of
Windsor.
The archduke is Leopold Saliva
tor of Austria, who leaped into the
world limelight when he became
engaged to Miss Alice Corbun of
New York. While in America,
Archduke Leopold was arrested in
connection with the allegedly
fraudulent sale Of the famous
necklace of Empress Maria Louise
of France, but was acquitted.
The former King Edward, 1t
was learned, walked all the way
from the village of Herremstein
to Leopold's castle, which had
been offered for sale.
Leopold showed the duke the
castle, but when he started max
ing cracks about American
women, Windsor cut him short
and left, dropping negotiations
for the castle.
Windsor has been so alarmed
over the illness of Queen Mother
Mary that he said he would re-
turn to England to see her If she
grew any worse. He telephoned to
Sandringham, where she is spend
ing the holidays, and London to
inquire about her health.
LONDON, Dec. 80 U.N.S0
Queen Mother Mary has nearly
recovered from her cold, and to-
day dealt with correspondence at

REVIVE HOPES
OF MADRID
LoyaIist Leader Sees
Victory as Result
Of Shipments
By THOMAS A. LOAYZA

MADRID, Dec. 80 Q.N.S0.
Prospect of American airplanes
and airplane motors being shipped
to the Spanish loyaIsts was hailed
jubilantly today by Gen. Jose MI
ala, head of the Madrid Loyalist
defense junta.
In statement to International
News Service, General Miaja made
no effort to hide the loyalists'
great satisfaction at the thought
of having American planes to use
in battling the insurgents. He
said:
"Our position in the interna-
tiOnal field will continue to
improve. The decision of the
United States points the way
for all democratic governments"
Ignore Opposition
The decision" referred to was
the granting by the American
State Department of a license to
a private exporter to ship nearly
$4,000, 900 worth of airplaneS and
airplane parts to leftists in Spain.
The Junta chief chose to ignore
the apparent opposition of the
American Government to tn e
move, and Washington's an
nouncement it was helpless to
prevent the shipment under exist
ing laws. He ignored also the
steps reported under way in Wash
ington to prevent further such
shipments.
Forecasts Victory
Gen. Miaja seized the incident
to bolster a prediction that the
"first months of the coming year"
would bring a definite change in
the Spanish military situation
decisively favorable to the loyaliSt
army, he added:
Eve are progressing steadily
and slowly against the enemy
around Madrid. We also are
making progress on other fronts.
We have checked the enemy on
the COrdObj front, where five
German regiments are opposing
u.s."
Following yesterdays advance
west Of Madrid, where the loyal
lists took Vi1laneuva De La Canada,
the situation was quiet today, due
mainly to a heavy rain.

Cuse Denounced For
Seeking to Supply
Planes to Spain
BY ROBERT G. NIXON
International News Service

President Roosevelt, in fighting
mood over threatened breakdown
of the United States hitherto solid
neutrality front in the Spanish
civil war, today called for broad
discretionary powers in embargo
ing arms shipments abroad.
Members of Congress, fearful Of
embodiment in Europe's explosive
non-intervention quarrel, wheeled
swiftly into action to delegate the
extraordinary authority to him.
Dealer Rebuked
The President addressed a
singing rebuke to Robert Cuse,
Jersey City IN. JO secondhand
dealer, a naturalized citizen OF
Russian birth, for seeking to sup
ply airplanes to Spain.
In the crisis over failure Of the
temporary neutrality act to deal
with the contingency Of civil war,
emergency legislation was speedily
mapped today to:
!. Halt shipment to the Span
ish loyaist government Of a
$2,777,OOO order Of airplanes,
aircraft engines and spare parts,
already licensed for export by
the State Department under
mandatory terms Of the neu-
trality law, and;
Embargo Extension
2. Set up a drastic new per-
manent neutrality program
which would extend the present
category of arms, ammunition
and Implements Of war, now sub
ject to mandatory embargo on
the outbreak of hostilitieS, to
include also loans and credits
and "war materials" such as
oil, cotton, metals. and even
food.
Senate and House leaders pre-
pared to introduce the measure to
halt the airplane shipment to
Spain the moment Congress con-
venes next week. They predicted
speedy passage. Permanent legis'
lation to eplace the present neu-
trality act can then be considered
at leisure, awaiting President
Roosevelt's recommendations. The
present act expires May !.

During the 18 months since the
beginning of the Federal Housing Ad-
n1inistration's program, private f1nan-
ciaI institutions have extended insured
credit to farmers for modernization
and repair projects totaling $9,4l4,-
44293.
Significant is the fact that as the
program progressed the volume OF
farm loans showed a steady increase,
with an all-time record being made
in January 1886, when both the num-
ber and amount of farm loans exceeded
any previous month since the pro-
gram began.
In January, 1886, farm loans reached
the all-time high of 3,346, totaling
$l,117,78l. Previously the record num-
ber of loans was made in December
1885, when 1882 were granted
throughout the country. The previous
dollar amount record for one month
was recorded in November, 1895,
amounting to S1,098,347.
