t,emen's agreement" The exact
nature of this agreement was not
revealed, but the United States
promised to employ its $4,000, 0O0,-
600 sterilization fund to head off
the feared struggle. Certain it is
that each of the three nations re-
serves the right to depart from the
pact if and when it's own interests
require such a course. An expected
outcome of the now general drop
ping of the gold standard may be an
international conference for stabili-
cation of world currencies. This
might be held in Washington.
Blum called a special session
of the French parliament to pass
the necessary legislation, and his
plan was given grudging approval
by the chamber of deputies. Its
adoption by the chamber, where the
popular front" has big majority,
was taken for granted, but fight
was expected in the senate. The
general project was divided into five
sections, as follows:
l. Fixes the new gold content of
the franc at point between 43 and
40 milligrams of gold, prohibits the
export or import of gold, and Gre
ates an equalization fund.
2. Permits the requisition of gold
by the government, obliges individu-
all citizens to declare their gold
holdings, creates a tax on profits
made from devaluation of the franc,
and obliges market traders to re-
veal their operations in foreign ex-
change since September &c.
3. Creates movable salary scale
and makes various readjustments
in 1.-THE civil service, pension rates,
etc.
, 4. Provides for readjustment of
certain specific taxes such as those
on oil, coffee, pepper, tea and sugar.
S. Makes certain changes in the
debt structure of such public insti-
tutions as cities and communes ne
cessitated by devaluation.
From the Chicago Journal of
Commerce is taken this plain state
ment as to what Frances action
means to the ordinary American
citizen: ..
Reducing the amount of gold
represented by one franc will mean
that the average American will be
able to travel cheaper in France
than for the last two years. French
wines should be cheaper in this
country and women should be able
to buy French perfume for less.
That should be true of nearly every
thing else that France exports to
the United States-unless this coun-
try hikes the tariff on French ex-
ports or French prices boom out of
proportion to devaluation. Indirect
ly, franc devaluation may keep
Americans from war as the act may
be a wedge for currency stabiliza-
ton the world over and more broth
erly relations between all nations.
But don't lose any sleep over i. I'M
less you are getting an income from
someone in France"

Spain Warns Nations
Not to Interfere


G PAINS representative in the
~ League of Nations, Foreign Min
lister Julio Alvarez del Vayo, sol
EMMY warned other nations men,
bers of that body that they must not
interfere with the Spanish civil war,
which he said forbode a future war,
not between states but between po-
litical concepts.
1.-THE bloodstained soil of Spain
already is the battlefield of world
war;" he commended in what other
delegates construed as an attack
on Germany, Italy and Portugal for
allegedly arming the Spanish Fas-
cist insurgents He assailed the Eu-
ropean nonintervention agreement
as "direct and positive interven-
ton in behalf of the rebels" and
as a blockade of the lawful Span
ish government"
British Foreign Minister Anthony
Eden, in a rather pessimistic ad-
dress, said his government stood
for an amendment to the league
covenant to enable the league to
intervene in the early stages Of a
dispute. He also proposed: Negoti-
alton of regional pacts, separation
of the league covenant from post
war treaties, measures to restore
international trade; inquiry, under
league auspices, into the question
of access to raw materials, and re-
duction and limitation of arma-
ments and publicity for armament
expenditures.

Strength During
MIDDLE LIFE

Strength is extra-important for
women going through the change Of
life. Then the body needs the very
best nourishment to fortify 1t against
the changes that are taking place.
In such cases, Cardui has proved
helpful to many women. It in
creases the appetite and aids diges-
ton, favoring more complete trans
formation of food into living tissue,
resulting in improved nutrition and
building up and strengthening Of
the whole system.

New Wage and Hour Law
Formally in Effect

HE Walsh-Healy act, setting
l. wage and hour standards for
certain concerns doing business
with the federal government, is now
formally in effect. The law was
passed just before the last congress
adjourned. It's chief provisions are
requirements that holders of gov
eminent contracts which amount
to more than $4,000 must pay pre-
vailing wage rates and pay over
time wages if their employees work
more than forty hours a week. The
wages requirement will be applied
only gradually, since it will take
months to determine the prevail
ing wages for all industries con-
cerned.
