Cancel Orders
By MICHAEL WILSON

PARIS, July IS u.N.S0.
French indignation over the Red
French governments move to sup
ply Spanish loyalistS with arms,
airplaneS and munitions to com.
bat the insurgent movement
reached the boiling point today.
As Nationalist newspapers re
vealed details Of the arms delivery
plans, the senate army, navy and
air committees prepared to go Il
Premier Leon Blum and demand
he Immediately cancel all orders,
They will insist he fatty forbid
export Of all arms, and particu'
larry airplaneS, to Spain.
Following the example Of Am.
baSsador Cardenas, Cristobal del
Castillo, charge d'affaires at the
Paris embassy, and the Spanish
conSuls at MarSeille and Bayonne
resigned. Del Castillo said:
II leave my post because my
conscience fOrbidS me to aid in
sending arms destined to kill
my poor cOmpatriOts."
The newspaper LIE Jour added
that Del Castillo quit because he
was asked to sign a check pay.
ing the French government for
the airplaues purchased here for
the Spanish government. Re
ports said the entire embassy
staff planned to resign.
Besides government action in
sending airplanes, guns, and am
munitien to Spain, French reds
sought to enlist a vast foreign
legion to help crush the Span
iSh revolution, and received open
support from lie Populaire, the
governments nouthpiece.
Orders Munitions
"A mass rising of militant So.
cialiSts for service in Spain,
and arn1ing of French Socialists
on the pretext Of combating
French FaSciStS were urged by
LIE Populaire.
A dispatch to the Echo de
Paris from London, where Pre-
mier Leon Blum Is now discus
sing the Spanish situation with
British diplomats, said the
French premier ordered French
airplane and munitions plants to
supply Madrid with whatever
was required.
Italy Supplied Planes
When won DelboS, French for
eign minister, demurred, said the
newspaper, Blum replied there was
no question Of propriety, since no
arms had been supplied directly
by the government.
Blum'S paper, lie Populaire, also
brought the counter-charge that
Gen. Francisco Franco, leader Of
the south Spain revolt, bought "a
airplaneS from Italy.
While right wing members Of
the Chamber Of Deputies renewed
their attacks on the government
for taking sides in the Spanish
civil war, all doubt regarding the
administrations aid for Spain was
removed with the arrival in Mar
Seille of the Spanish cargo
steamer Cirtat De Tarragona, with
a gunboat convoy, for a cargo Of

HUTCHINSON

By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON
TOPEKA, Kan, July Is.
(I.N.S.)-"GOvernOr Alfred M.
LandOn has won the respect,
interest and support Of . vast
majority Of American women
by champiOning security Of
the home rs one Of his major
issues in the presidential cam
paign."
This was the united conclusion
here today Of three Republican
women from different sections If
the country. They were Mrs.
Katharine Kennedy Brown, Re-
publican National c o m m t tee
woman from Ohio; Mrs. E. c.
Little, G. o. P. state vice-chair'
man Of Kansas, and Miss Marie
Kohler, Wisconsin state chair
man for Better Homes in
America.
They agreed the Governor, in
promising q Understanding Fed
eral administration which would
offer equal opportunity to every
person to gain Q job, q home, rea-
sonable security and the right to
live according to the American ira
dition," made a striking appeal to
women. Housewives and business
women, they said, win rally to the
Republican standard 20 support
Landon.
NRrc p-oS,ro sold.
s'The. Governor promises Sc
CuFity In the home; women ap-
preciate what that means be-
cause they really are the home
builders. He will have the sup
port Of . great majority Of
women. Women are awakened
now. The housewife and the
woman in business are taking an
interest in politics. Some, who
have never voted although ell
gible for years, are registering in
order to support LandOn. They
believe the future Of their homes
rests with LandOn."
Mrs. Little, who lives in the rural
town Of Edwardsville, Kan, said:
Governor LandOn appeals to
the wife of q man with . job as
well as to the wife Of . man on
relief. By promising an admin
istratiOn that will provide Oppor-
tunity for jobs and homes, he
appeals directly to every woman.
Amy woman would prefer to have
her husband working than to
have him on relief. All Land0n
holds out hope to such women.
"And he promises an end to
waste and extravaganza. Women
naturally oppose waste, because
they are the purchasing agents
i'm the home and they know food
costs and clothing costs have
risen under the present Admins
tratiOn. They believe LandOn will
end this.
''The housewives Of America
are going to be q determining
factor i'm this election and they
are going to support LandOn."
PRAISE LANDON IDEALS
Miss Kohler, sister Of the for
mer governor Of Wisconsin, said:
''The things Governor LandOn
stands for appeal directly to
women. He has convinced them
Of his sincerity, his ability and ]
his courage and appeals espe-
ciaIly to them by his program
for security in the home. I
know what . home means to
the average woman because /
am State chairman of the Bet
ter Homes in America. The
average woman is going to vote
for Governor LandOn."
The Governor meanwhile faced
q light day. He visited his office
in the morning to attend to some
state matters. He probably will
spend the weekend at some
friends farm outside Topeka.

The Republican plan of action
was adopted, even though a bill

Ali Criticize Plan
Virtually every Republican on
the Ways and Means Committee
vigorously criticized the plan Of
basing corporation taxes on un-
distributed earnings while hear

A bill was being written by draft

Gently made in her submarine
fleet have made impossible any
successful attempt by British bat

that Italy'S campaign in Ethiopia

CARELESS Of what occurs in Geneva
during the next few days.
Concentrations Of submarines
and aircraft around the Mediter-
ranean are now sufficient to keep
the huge British fleet paralyzed
in its bases at Gibraltar, Malta
and Alexandria by the threat Of
bombing and torpedo attacks,
naval officials said.
The risk of any important
movement of heavily armed ships
has already become "prohibitive, I"
according to Premier MuSSolini'S
naval advisors, and translation Of
the threat of naval sanctions into
reality has become too hazardous
to be tried.
These calculations by the ad-
miralty are back Of the recent
statement before the Chamber Of
Deputies by Admiral Domenico
Cavagnari, undersecretary for
marine, that the Italian subma-
rine fleet is now capable Of any
task, and is being increased with

British Cabinet to Decide
On Action Against Italy

LONDON, April IA UN.SO.
Alarmed over the italian army's
penetration to the Sudan frontier
and Lake Tsana and 1taly's ma
neuvers to fend off peace negotia-
tions, the defense and other major
cabinet ministers today studied
further steps to change MusSo-
lini's victories into defeat-meas-
ures ranging from an oil embargo
to extremes Of military and naval
sanctions.
While the anxious ministers con-
ferred, their feelings were publicly
proclaimed in banner newspaper
headlines telling Of the occupa-
ton of Gallabat, straddling the
Anglo Egyptian frontier, and the
shores Of Lake Tsana.
Newspapers close to govern
ment sources openly threatened
belligerent action against italy,
ignoring II Duce's reiterated as.
surance that Britain's water
rights would be respected.
Final decisions will be made at
the regular meeting Of the whole
British cabinet tomorrow, before
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden
hastens back to Geneva to attend
the meeting Of the Leagues COM
mittee Of Is Thursday and, pos
sibly, the sanctions committee Of
10 Friday.
Unless the move was a direct
thrust at Britain, military OBJ
servers in London were at a loss
to explain why Italian forces
drove 100 miles through the
British zone of influence in Ethi-
opia to occupy Gallabat, whence
the Ethiopian garrison fled with
out any attempt at defense; or
why the Italian tri-color was
planted on the shores Of Lake
TSana when the Italians already
controlled Gondar, 20 miles to
the north, the only Strategically
important town in the whole zone.
