LONDON, Oct. 9.-A Russian ex- pression of satisfaction came today from the secret session of twenty seven European 2tates pondering the grave question of the continen- tai crisis created by Moscow and Madrid charges of Fascist assist ance to the Spanish insurgents.
 At the secret session here the agenda included one Russian pro- posal that commission be sent in- to Portugal, asserted to be the gate way for alleged military assistance to the Fascist insurgents.
 Two formal charges from Ma drid, backed up by almost identical Soviet allegations that Portugal, Germany and Italy are violating the neutrality agreement, were placed before the secret session.

BULLETIN-London, Oct 3. The Spanish Embasy, coinci- dent with the critical sessions of the International Committee on neutrality, this afternoon charged that 700 Italian soldiers participated with Spanish Fas- cists in the capture of Balearic Island on September 20.
 The communication laid be- fore the commission gave de- tails of the alleged participation of the Italians commanded by Count DiROssi and that the troops were taken to the island on the steamer Cuidad de Pal ma, which allegedly bore the Italian flag painted on both sides and carrying two Italian planes which also participated in the battle.

Though volume of home building in
1885 was, only Is per cent Of normal,
it was 80 per cent higher than in
1884.
What started rents moving higher?
In the worst part Of the depression
the number of homes being built did
not even equal those being destroyed
by fire, storm, and the like An aver
age Of only around 10000 homes per
year were built from 1880 through
1884, compared with normal figure
of $4,000 annually. There is, there

homes right now Furthermore, thou
sands of families want to "unscram-
BILE" and thousands of couples want
to get married now that their pur-
chasing power is improving gradual
ly. Hence, rents have been boosted,
the figure being Is to 20 per cent
higher today than two years ago.
Rents Up-Costs, Down..

Money rates and financing charges
are also very important in considering
the "rent or own problem. The fell
low who wants to rent and save is dis
couraged by the ridiculously low rate
of interest on his deposits. while his
neighbor is encouraged to- build be-
cause of the low financing charges on

to it last night, agree that while it is
one of the most masterful appeals to
the preiudices of the masses ever de-
livered in a political campaign, and
hence very skillful address from
McDonald's standpoint, that it has
two very outstanding weaknesses, as
follows:
1. It promises too much.
2. 1t fails to point out in any de-
finite manner where Mcdonald ex-
poets to get the $25, 100000 to 10000
900 a year in new revenue needed to
put his program into effect.
While DR.. Mcdonald mentioned sew
eral sources Of new revenue, he did
not mention the type of tax he ex-
poets to levy or the approximate a.
mount of revenue he expects to get
from these sources. Several of these
plans he proposed during the 1885
General Assembly, when member of
the house, and not a single one of
them was adopted, after months of
careful analysis and study.
New Tax on Merchants.
Virtually the only new tax plan he
suggested in his speech, which he did
not suggest during the 1885 General
Assembly, was ga small mercantile Ii
cense tax not greater than that OF
Virginia, which will be a welcome re-
lief to the merchants of the State
from the burden Of the sales tax" DR..
Mcdonald did not explain the details
of the Virginia mercantile license tax.
But, according to information obtain
ed here today, this Virginia tax, which
is paid by the merchants and not by
the customers, is as follows:
On retail merchants: $40 a year on
gross sales Of $1,000; 500 on gross
sales between $1,000 and 1000; on
gross sales Of more than $4,000, the
tax is $40 on the first $4,000 and 13
cents per $1O0 on all in excess Of ST.
600.
Other Tax Proposals.
In addition to this new tax on mer-
chants, Mcdonald proposed to:
l. Increase the income tax so that
it would apply to all dividends, inter-
est and other sources of revenue. This
will require a constitutional amend
:nent.-
2. Base the corporation franchise
tax on the market value of the issued
stock as listed on the stock exchange.
instead of on the book value of the
capital, surplus and undivided pro-
fits, which is the present plan, and
which would increase the yield from
only five or six large corporations,
but which would probably decrease
the yield from smaller corporations.
3. Increase the taxes on power COM
panies.
4. Put chain filling stations under
the present chain store tax, although
the filling stations are already taxed
under this same system, but under a
different schedule.
Those familiar with tax matter here
maintain that this program, even if
enacted, would fall far short of yield
ing the $25,O0OOOO to $3O,OOO,OOO in new
revenue DR.. McDonalds program calls

pledged his support and that of the

aid did not mention the fact that UNI

The opponents of Mcdonald, espe-
cially the campaign managers of
Clyde r. Hoey and Lieutenant Cover
nor A. H. Graham, the other two lead
ing candidates, withheld comment on
the Mcdonald speech today, awaiting
the reaction. They had nothing to say
when asked for a statement, although
it is expected that it will be answer
ed in several different ways later on
Some of the followers of both Hoey
and Graham frankly admit that the
speech will make very strong appeal
to a certain class, especially those
who have believed for years and still
believe that all State officials are
crooks, that every one connected with
the State government is dishonest and
that all past Democratic administra-
tons have been dominated by the
wealthy corporations.

that in many cases today it is wiser
and cheaper to own than to rent.
With these factors at work, there is
little wonder that home building is
far ahead of last April. Month-after-
month since early 1885, the figures
have been mounting. The first inter-
ruption of this long upward trend
came in February, but the slowing up
may have been due to the violent win

shift in the underlying trend. How
ever, further pushes toward prosperity
