NEBRASKA DRIFTS
FROM DEMOCRATS
Effect Drought Will Have on
Result Argued-PaperS
Shift to Landon.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN,

OMAHA, Nebr., July 25.-What this
State needs is ir-conditioning.
II Roosevelt or Landon promised
the people Of Nebraska to do some
thing about cooling them. he could
get a lot of attention and votes right
now. The hottest night in history
with the thermometer never going
below 80 degrees-was Omaha's record
Friday. Lincoln was one up with
81 as the minimum temperature.
What it has been doing in the day
time no one likes to think about, but
it was lit In Grand Island and Ill
in Lincoln.
There may be votes in this hot
weather, at that. Unless there Is rain,
and plenty Of 1t, in a hurry, Nebraska's
big corn crop is going to be nothing
at all. Even with rains, it probably
will be less than so per cent OF nor
NAL Other crops are suffering. too.
A considerable amount of wheat has
been destroyed.
The politicians here are wondering
what will be the effect If the Roose-
welt administration dumps a lot Of
drought relief money into the State.
Won't the farmers just naturally vote
for the President out of gratitude?
There's another school of thought
which holds that the party in power
is always held responsible for un-
fortunate conditions even the
weather.
Drift to Republicans.
To date Nebraska has been moving
over toward the Republican column.
What it will be In November is an
other thing. There are reasons for
the shift from Roosevelt. Farmers
have been displeased because they did
not make bigger crops. They feel
they would have more to sell at a
time when the market is likely to
be extremely good. Business men gen.
orally are lined up against the New
Deal because they don't like its ideas
of further regulation and the threat
of greatly increased taxation because
of heavy Government expenditures.
Republicans who voted for Roosevelt
in 1892 have been f1ocking back to
the old party. Landon, the Repub-
lican presidential candidate. is re-
garded here as lone of the folks" a
near neighbor.
There have been intraparty rows
among the Democrats on a big scale.
On top of all this, the newspapers
which supported Roosevelt four years
ago, the World-Herald and the Bee
News, now are aiding Landon.
Indeed the Republicans here are
very much encouraged and the DEM
ocrats are distinctly worried. Lam
don's speech accepting the presiden-
tial nomination at Topeka on Thurs
day has been well received. Even
some of the Democrats grudgingly
admit that the speech is likely to
help the Republican candidate. Not
only did the Republicans like the
content Of the speech but they are
saying that Landon's delivery has
vastly improved over his delivery
when he made a speech at Lincoln
early in the year. They insist that
they will be perfectly satisfied II he

PARIS, July 25-The French gov

arms and ammunition to Madrid to
help Spanish liberals crush the Fascist
rebellion, authoritative sources de-
clared.
Government deputies said the
French cabinet, at special session,
declined to approve either direct or
indirect shipments of war equipment
into Spain.
While French leftists are sympathetic
toward the Spanish popular fronts
fight, the deputies explained, the gov
ernment decided to remain faithful to
the traditional policy of non-interfer-
ence in the internal affairs of foreign
powers.
Officials said the government would
refuse authorization to private firms to
sell arms, ammunition or bombing, or
scouting planes to Spain.
Unable to Stop Plane Sales.
The government, however. is power
less to prevent the sale of commercial
planes. they said.
Rightest sources claimed feet Of
II obsolete French Army airplanes had
been ready to take of for Madrid when
officials at Villacoublay Field received
an order prohibiting the flight.
The same persons declared Andre
Malraux, a left-wing French writer,

sum of money raised by the Interna-

they added the French government had
no part in this fight.
The cabinets refusal to aid the
Spanish Liberals came after French
Nationalists warned the peoples front

Blum Favored Aid.
Premier Leon Blum and other So

desire to send the arms. In the oppo-

porters Of the French LeftiSt Govern

Daladier and Pierre Cot, air minis
ter, were declared to have joined the
Socialists in advocating aid to Spain,
but Delbos and Chautempts continued
to oppose such move.
Roger Salengro, minister Of the in
terror, indicated France thus far has
refrained from supplying any arms by
saying German newspaper reports Of
French aid were absolutely false"
Official sources said the cabinet
meeting, which was called suddenly,
was devoted almost entirely to debate
on the Spanish request, which was
first made to Delbos by the Spanish
Ambassador at London when Blum
and the foreign minister were in Great
Britain for the Locarno conference.
Socialist deputies insisted Blum ask
Parliament's approval before author
izing any arms shipments.
Henry Berenger, chairman of the
Senate Foreign Affairs Committee,
made an appointment to confer with
Delbos with the indication the foreign
minister would be asked to appear be-
fore the committee Monday.

The War Department said definitely
yesterday that there was nothing in

The question which now confronts
them is what to do with a quarter

'Quoddy is proving the most dificult
to dispose Of. The prospect of its con-
struction was tremendous shot-in-

local boom developed very rapidly, and
such was the faith of the Eastporters
