Sentiment at Detroit Wide

DEFEATING NEW DEAL
is SOLE OBJECTIVE

DETROIT, Aug. 7.-(UP)-
Widespread sentiment for swing
ing their vote to the Republican
presidential candidacy of Govern
or All NJ. Landon developed here
today among Jcffersonian Demo-
Gratis converting to organize ma
tional opposition to President
Roosevelt.
The Jeffersonian Democrats,
led by men formerly high in par

opposition to reelection of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and possibly to
sponsor their own presidential
slate.
The Republican Landon-Knox
presidential ticket stands to gain
from any effective political STRAIT
egg adopted.
Conspicuously absent from the
Jeffersonian gathering were AL
fred E. Smith, foremost of the
Democratic boilers, and those fed
eral office holding Democrats
who have been critical of the New
Deal but who are reluctant to
sep out of the regular party pa

Gratis to be present today, repre-

professed to be without a detail
ed plan for opposing reelection
of the New Deal ticket. 1t APP
peared they must make their
choice from among three courses
l. Summon rump Democratic
convention to place conservative
presidential and vice presidential
candidates in the 1885 race.
Z. Commit their organization
to support the Republican Lam
don-Knox ticket.
3. Undertake individual anti
New Deal campaigns in their re-
Spective states.
Conference leaders concede
that their prime purpose is de-
feat of the New Deal and it fol-

will be directed toward aiding

be the precise method adopted:

ALL EUROPE SPLIT IN
2 CAMPS OVER WAR
(Copyright 1886 by United Press,

PARIS, Aug. 7.-(UP)-Divi-
sion between the Fascist and
Fascist and Democratic countries
Of Europe over the Spanish rebel
lion reached a point of real dam
ger today.
Anxiety in France became
acute. 1t was feared that Nazi
Germany might intervene active
ly in reprisal for the alleged MUIR
der by extremists in Barcelona of
four Germans.
The left wing government,
viewing gravely the state of mind
of Frances neighbors, Italy and
Germany, sought to rush through
a neutrality agreement among the
powers before it was too late, and
dispatched to. London a simple
formula which was understood to
provide:
"The undersigned governments
engage themselves from this date
no longer to furnish Spain arms
or war materials"
This would be supplemented by
specific definitions of arms or
materials not to be furnished, and
would be signed by France, Bel
GUM, Great Britain, Germany,
Italy, Russia and Portugal.
But the Spanish problem has
become, irrevocably now, one not
alone of fight between a left
wing Democratic government and
a Fascist rebellion but one be-
tween the dictators of Europe
and radicalism, under whatever
name it goes.
