GERMANS GROWING UNEASY.
Anxious Over Future Policy Of Hitler
Regarding Spain.

BERLIN, April l R.-A feeling OF
uneasiness was growing among Ger
mans Of all walks of life today ever

and Premier Mussolini Of Italy IN
Spain as q result Of recent defeats

Official information was as dlfn-
cult to obtain as information concern

regimented press.
The closest to an intimatlon OF
Reichsfuehrer Hitler's plans in the
Spanish situation was contained IN
the terse phrase Of high cabinet
official:
I'VE will never tolerate a Com
munist government in Spain
There is circunstantial evidence,
however, that Hitler and Premier
Mussolini have concluded what
amounts to an alliance whereby each
is obligated to assist the other in case
OF war.
The visit to Italy in January OF
COL Gen. Hermann Wilhelm Goerlng,
Hitler's principal aide, apparently
convinced Mussolini that German aid
to the insurgent regime Of General
issimo Francisco Franco, recognized
by both Italy and Germany as the true
government of Spain, was impossible
on q larger scale than that already
given, but that Hitler would help his
ally in case the Spanish war led to
conflict with other nations.
If, for instance, France were to
make common cause with the Madrid
government Hitler would be prepared
to help Italy, if Italy became involved
in an eventual war as consequence.

L DUCE Confident
OF REBEL VICTORY
Believes Franco Now Has
Sufficient Strength to
Overcome Opposition.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
ROME, April Premier Mussolini
Is confident, informed sources asserted
today, that Gen. Francisco Frances
insurgent forces will conquer the
Spanish government.
This confidence, they said, springs
from two premises:
!. A belief that Franco now has
sufficient strength to overcome the
opposition he faces at this moment.
:. An assumption that the 27-nation
non-intervention agreement would pre-
vent the Valencia-Madridf forces from
receiving decisive reinforcements.
No Further Italian Aid.
Accordingly, Italy does not plan to
send Franco further assistance even
though he may encounter some set
back.
A formal statement by Dino Alfieri,
Italian press minister, was explicit on
this point. 1t pointed out that re-
cent Italian losses in Spain totaled
several hundreds" but since we are
dealing with volunteers" precise fig
ures could not be learned.
Alferi denied that any Italian army
divisions were ready to go to Spain
and declared "the orders given out
regarding the prohibition on the de-
parture Of volunteers for Spain have
been and always will be vigorously OBJ
served in Italy"
1t WAS Uncomfortable" the state
ment added, that restrictive meas
ures should be applied from only one
side, with the result of the advan-
tage being taken by those forces which
aim at bolshevization of Spain"
If the Spanish government continues
to receive foreign aid, it was said au-
thoritatively, Italy stands ready to
reassume full liberty of action"
Public Encouraged.
The Italian public has been per-
suaded by persistently optimistic press
reports from Spain that victory is just
around the corner" italians in a po-
sition to take a more objective view
insist that a defeat for Franco would
be "unthinkable," especially since he
holds two-thirds of Spain and has, as
they put it, "the support of vast ma
tority of the Spanish people
Both Italy and Germany will oppose
firmly any deadlock that might result
in establishment of two Spanish gov
ernments, a reliable informant said.
Italy and Germany are in perfect
agreement not to permit bolshevization
Of Spain by foreign power" this
source asserted. They believe the
Spanish people are capable of prevent
ing this themselves, providing COM
munists do not receive an absolutely
overwhelming support from abroad" :"
A partitioned Spain, it was further
argued, also would be contrary to the
"gentlemens agreement" between Italy
and Britain in which the two govern
ments undertook to oppose any change
In the status quo" of the Medlter-
ranean.

The Right Move.

Because mediation offers the only SEN
sible, reasonable course of action in such
disputes, Secretary of Labor Perkins
appointment of board to attempt a
settlement in the civil war raging in a
large portion of the steel industry is to
be applauded and every wish made for
its success.
Certainly the selection Of this board
is far better designed to accomplish a
peaceful ending of the steel disorders
than impromptu comments by the
President or other high administration
officials tending to place the sympathy
of the Federal Government on one side
or the other. Such statements merely
add fuel to the flames, and there have
been far too many of them. The Fed
eral Government represents the people,
not the strikers or the steel operators,
and its role is best fulfilled as an i'm
partial umpire-not as partisan.
Miss Perkins has appointed a good
board, whose members enjoy general
respect and confidence. II they receive
a fair degree OF sincere cooperation
from the c. I. o. organizers and the steel
operators, there is good possibility that
they may accomplish what no amount
of machine gun ammunition, iron pipe
and bulldozing could accomplish on
either side
OF course the board has a most diff
cult task ahead of it. The disorders In
the steel industry are not, as sometimes
stated, caused by the scrap OF paper
represented in contract" and whether
that contract is to be verbal or signed
and sealed. These disorders reach down
far deeper than that. The goal of the
c. I. @. is not a signed contract, but the
complete organization of the steel work.
ers. And the steel operators undoubtedly
believe that the concession represented
in a contract is merely the opening
wedge for further control of all their
employees by an organization that cannot
at present claim undivided allegiance.
Neither side in the dispute can afford
to refuse cooperation with the board,
for to do so will court the resentment of
public opinion which, when the facts
are made known free of suspected bias,
is not slow to crystalline. The Ameri-
can people have not lost their sense of
fair play, and this mediation board can
go a long way in the fulfllment of its
appointed task by making its appeal for
settlement on the basis OF fair play.

The Nuisance Taxes.

House and Senate conferees are now
debating whether to extend the nuisance
taxes for one or two years. The Sen
ate voted a one-year extension. The
House, with its politically realistic men,
bership thinking of reelection contests
next year, made it two years. The mat
ter Of time is not particularly important.
One or two years does not make much
dif1erence-for the nuisance taxes have
been with us for some time and it will
be long time before they are abolished.
What are these nuisance taxes, the
extension Of which the President will
authorize by his signature in a few
days? Well, they are sales taxes They
are substantially the same sort of sales
taxes that breast-beating politicians de-
nounce on fit occasions, but which the
Federal Government continues to i'm
pose. for the very good reason that they
yield about half billion dollars a year
In highly desirable revenue without
causing much hardship on anybody.
The public which pays the taxes has be-
come so accustomed to them that they
are not noticeable-which, from the
point of view of the politician, is exactly
as it should be.
