MADRID CITES
FOREIGN FOES

GENEVA, Sept. 26 Q.N.SO-A
direct charge that Spanish insur-
gents are receiving material and
moral aid from foreign govern
ments with a regime similar to
that the insurgents hope to eStab-
lish" was made before the League
of Nations Assembly yesterday by
Julio Alvarez del Vayo, Spanish
foreign minister.
Del Vayo said his government
in Madrid is receiving proof daily
that the insurgents possess equip
ment the Spanish army did not
have before the civil war began.
He expressed regret over the in
ternational non-intervention pol
icy, which he said is tantamount
to a blockade against the Madrid
government.
Attacking militaristic nations
and vigorously defending the
principle of democracy, Anthony
Eden, British foreign secretary,
told the assembly that his country
will continue it's rearmament pro-
gram until nations reach dis
armament accord (which must be
not only military, but moral"
Many interpreted the Briton'S
speech as a reply to the recent
statements of Adolf Hitler at
Nuremberg.

UNFAV0RABLE
TRADE TREND
CONTINUES
August Report, Held
Up, Is Expected to
Show Export Cut

Intensification of the current
unfavorable balance of merchan-
disc trade was forecast in business
circles today with the announce
ment by the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce that sta
tiSticS on exports and imports Of
leading commodities for August,
due for publication last Monday,
will not be available before next
Tuesday.
AS explained by the Bureau, the
delay in publication was caused
by the failure of New York Gus
toms men, who assemble the data,
to forward their findings to Wash
ington headquarters.
Business men, however, point
out that if the statistics had been
made public as usual on the goth
and 21St of the month, they might
have made splendid fodder for
important Republican campaign
appeals - notably the Landon
speech Thursday on the Admins
tration's foreign trade policies.
Cotton Exports Drop
Although it may be offset some
what by reports on other products,
the keynote if an unfavorable
statement, it is explained, seems
to have been sounded with the dis
closure by the bureau that exports
of raw cotton during August
showed a drop of approximately
25 per cent in both quantity and
value from the August, 1885,
figures.
According to the bureau,
96,076,135 pounds of United States
cotton worth $12,H27,065 was ex-
ported in August this year as
against 6,5666, ,404 pounds valued
at $16,212,518 in August, 1885.
On the basis Of past years the
bureau has found that August ex-
ports usually show an increase Of
as per cent over the July figure,
while exports for the month go
up 4.3 per cent. Assuming that
such is the case this year, the
statement to be released Tuesday
should show August exports worth
$179, ,126, ,458 as against 194,240,-
658 worth of merchandise that
the United States was forced to
buy from other countries.
Added to the seven months totals
Of exports and imports, these ex-
pected August figures will mean
that the Administration foreign
trade panaceaS have brought
about an unfavorable merchandise
trade balance of approximately
SAC, ,000, 900 so far this year.

Roosevelt Welcomed
Red Aid, Says coughIin

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 26
G.N.SO. - Father Charles E.
Coughlin, here for a rally of the
National Union for Social Justice,
today accused President Roosevelt
Of welcoming Communist support
in his campaign for reelection.
He termed Roosevelt a great
victim" of the "Litany of the
Pnks," and in the "Litany" he in
cluded Federal Relief Admins
traitor Harry l.. Hopkins, Rexford
Tugwell and others closely asso-
ciated with the Administration.
Waving aside reports from Rome
that he is due for a rebuff from
the Vatican for his criticism of Mr..
Roosevelt, Father Coughlin re-
iterated he will continue as in the
past until muzzled." He said:
81 am going to continue fight
ing for a principle to save
America, Christianity and capi-
taliSm, and I'll never stop till
they muZZle me-"
The priest declared:
81 say that Mr.. Roosevelt has
welcomed the aid of the Com
munists, otherwise James A.
Farley would not have put his
benedictiOn on Dubinsky. Mr..
Roosevelt can't deny it; the
proof is there. FactuaI evidence,
not circumStantial evidence"
He declined to comment direct
ly on the criticism of Archbishop
John T. McNicholas, of Cincin-
natl, who protested the priests
advocacy of the use of bullets
against dictatorship and his &C
cusation that Roosevelt is anti
Cod" but reiterated his position.
He insisted:
"The communists have been
preaching bullets for the last
40 years. If the communists
should gain control of this
country and proceed to curtaiI
our democracy or nullify our
Constitution there is only one
thing for Americans to do
just what our fOrefatherS did
fight back"
Asked if he might team with
Al Smith, former governor of
New York, since both oppose
President Roosevelt'S reelection,
the radio priest shook his head
and said:
Cal Smith, you recall, said he
was going to take a walk. From
what I've been able to observe
he's been only walking in
circles. I'm going to wait and
see which way he's gOing-if
he really means business"

Morgenthau Sees Money
Pact Aid World Trade
BY ERIC FRIEDHEIM
International News Service

Paving the way toward world
monetary stability, the United
States, Great Britain and France
today adopted a "gentlemen's
agreement" fixing the value OF
the dollar. pound and franc in
international exchange.
The agreement to place their
currencies on q noncompetit1ve
basis was announced Simultane-
ously last night by fiscal authori'
ties in Washington, London and
Paris, coincident with the French
governments decision to devalue
the franc by 80 to 80 per cent. It
eliminated efforts of the three
governments to avert gold de-
valuation war. threatened by the
French monetary crisis.
All Nations Invited
Climaxing nearly a month Of
conferences with French and
British officials Secretary Of the
Treasury Morgenthau disclosed
RaiS Governments approval of
franc devaluation and pledged
cooperation with the two coun-
tries in preventing disturbances
in international exchange result
ing from the French currency re-
adjustment.
Hailing the agreement as the
turning point for general peace
in the world" Morgenthau in
vited every other nation to join
the parade toward stabilization,
He said:
"The Government Of the
United States, in common with
the governments Of France and
Great Britain, desires and in
vites the cooperation of the other
nations to realize the policy
laid down in the present declara-
ton.
"It trusts that no country will
attempt to obtain an unreasOn-
ably competitive exchange ad-
vantage and thereby hamper
the effort to restore more stable
economic relations which it is
the aim of the three govern
mentS to promote"
HOME PROSPERITY GUARDED
Morgenthau gave notice, how
ever, that internal prosperity OF
the United States must not be jeo-
pardized by the agreement, saying: {:
"The Government Of the
United States must, Of course,
in its policy towards interna-
tional monetary relations, take
into full account the require
ments of internal prosperity,
as corresponding considerations
will be taken into account by
the governments Of France and
Great Britain.
eff this agreement affects in
any way our internal prosperity
we will take the proper steps"
This was taken to mean that the
United States would further de-
value the dollar. Under existing
law, the President can reduce the
gold content of the dollar to SO
per cent of it's former value. He
has already reduced it to 59.6
per cent.

PART OF GAINS

NEW YORK, Sept. 26 U.N.SO.
Profit taking came into the
stock market again at the close
today, pairing gains after q second
rally had pushed stocks up l to
more than 4 points.
The list started with a rush
with leaders up from 2 to 3 points,
but profittaking developed and
wiped out half of the early gains.
Heavy demand for steelS, mo-
tors and rails, however, brought
a later rally and early peaks in
most cases were surpassed in the
east few minutes of trading.
Profit-taking again made its ap-
pearance at the close and pared
earlier gains somewhat.
ChrySler started at 1917,
spurted to 1924, fell to 100 and
then jumped to 1873.
U. S. Steel was up two points
in the first hour and held most OF
this to the close.
Rails chalked up wide gains,
paced by Union Pacific.

JURY TO RECEIVE
 ACTION OF SEARS

The $l0,000 suit of Benjamin Sears, administrator of the estate of the late Linwood Sears, against Donate Varrone of this city was to go into the hands of 8 jury in com mon pleas court early this after noon. Court was adjourned at noon until 1:l5, opposing counsel having completed their arguments.
 Trial of the suit began yester- day, with Attorney Vincent Miller appearing for the plaintiff and the firm of Marsh, Stoddard and Day of Bridgeport representing Varrone.
 An accident which gave fatal injuries to Linwood Sears is the basis of the civil action. A car driv- en by Mark Sears late last Sep tember crashed into the rear end of Varrone's car at Tranquility station on Middlebury road. It is claimed that Varrone was negli- gent in halting his car too quickly and with giving proper warning.
