Russia Using Spanish War
to Fornent Discord

COVIET RUSSIA made a second
- determined effort to aid the be-
leaguered government of Spain,
and sustained a second rebuff. Ivan
Maisky, Russian ambassador to
England, handed to Lord Plymouth,
British chairman of the non-inter-
vention committee, a virtual ulti-
matum demanding immediate con-
vocation Of the committee to con-
slider blockading the coast of Por-
tugal against arms shipments des-
tined for the Spanish insurgents. It
was understood in London that Lord
Plymouth replied that if the propo-
sition were seriously made, it should
be presented through diplomatic
channels to the governments con-
cerned. The Russian plan was for q
blockade by English of French war
ships.
Observers in Europe are con-
WINGED that the Soviet government
does not expect the powers to agree
to any such blockade as is sug-
gested, but is chiefly interested in
stirring up discord.
Leaders of the Fascists were re-
ported to have planned a steady,
steam-roller advance on Madrid,
and this offensive was already under
way. The defenders of the capital
were hastily building Notifications
in the suburbs and surrounding the
city with trenches. In Oviedo the
dynamite-armed force of loyalist
miners was still battling with the
garrison and rebel troops sent to
the rescue were about to enter the
city.

will abdicate in favor of his brother,
the Duke Of York, and marry the
attractive woman who has shared
so much of his time in recent
months. In support of this rumor
Is the reported fact that plans are
being made for renting the farms
OF the Sandringham estate in Nor
folk, which is the kings private
property. Also, there is a story
that this estate may be sold to the
Aga Khan, the immensely wealthy
spiritual head of the Ismaili sect
of Mohammedanism.
Should Edward give up the throne,
1t would eventually be occupied by
Princess Elizabeth, eldest daughter
OF the Duke of York, and this sue
cession would be decidedly popular
with the people of England. The
abdicating king might revert to the
dukedom of Cornwall, which pro-
vides net income of about $3.50 900.
There is nothing in British law to
prevent the king from marrying
whomsoever he pleases, but no ruler
OF the country since Henry VIII has
welded a commoner. Court gossip
in London says that Prime Minister
Baldwin and the archbishop of Can
terbury recently appealed to Ed
ward for greater discretion in his
relations with Mrs. Simpson and
were holly rebuffed by the king.
English newspapers imposed on
themselves a voluntary censorship
In this affair, but it has been broken
by the Sunday Referee which prints
an article declaring the king "'may
marry by spring." that this would
result in postponement of the coro-
nation, and that tradesmen have
been insuring themselves against
such delay.

ately gave 1t close study. Some were
disposed to label the maneuver "po-
ltical expediency," but experts gen.
orally said it was a logical step in
the sequence of monetary events but
not positively in the direction of
sterilization.
The new plan, Mr.. Morgenthau
said, differs from the old gold stand
ard in that it will permit the export
or earmarking of gold only to and
between governments instead of
private business institutions and
traders.
1.-THE door is wide open," said
Mr.. Morgenthau. Were not going
out drumming up business, but we'll
welcome all other countries which
want to participate"
According to the Treasury depart
ment, the United States alone will
announce selling price for gold.
France and England will Keep their
selling prices secret, though there
will be free flow of Kold between
the sterilization funds Of the three
nations.
1t was believed that Great Britain
was the prime mover in this new
pact. AS one commentator put it:
The agreement was made neces-
sary when France deb ased her cur
rency and placed an embargo on
gold exports, because Great Britain
suddenly discovered that nowhere in
the world was there left a fixed
yardstick against which to measure
international commitments and ham
die international exchange"

A UTHORITY Of the national
<Amaritime commission to de-
clare q permanent truce in current
contract controversies is challenged
by the negotiating committee for
the Pacific coast maritime unions.
and members of those unions are
instructed to vote on proposal for
q coast-wide waterfront strike.
The maritime commission had
peremptorily demanded that the
Pacific coast ports be kept open
while 1t sent an investigator to San
Francisco to discuss the conditions
which have long threatened to bring
on industrial warfare.
In kilograms to President Frank
lin Roosevelt and the commission.
the committee said the commission
had caused great unrest among
the workers through its participa-
ton in negotiations between ship
owners and dock and shipboard en-
ployees.
The seven unions, claiming a
membership Of nearly $1,000 work
ers, are the international Long
shoremen's association. the Ameri-
can Radio Telegraphists' associa-
ton, the Marine Engineers Benefi-
cial association, the Masters, Mates
and Pilots Of America, the Sailors
Union Of the Pacific, Marine Cooks

Nineteen Die When Ship
Sinks in Lake Erie

EIGHTEEN men and one woman

Erie when the Canadian ship Sand
