very rapidly In case the cost Of liv-
ing should rise another 20 or 80

After expressing confidence that
consumers would attain a larger role
in government and thus improve their
own economic and social status, the
Secretary added:

Six Killed as Insurgent Cruiser
Shells PASSENGER Steamer.

BAYONNE, France, March 6 (P.-
Two women Ind four children were
killed when the Spanish insurgent
cruiser Canarias shelled and captured
the steamer Galdames, advices reach
ing Bayonne said today.
The Galdames, carrying 180 passen-
gers, was struck twice by 8-inch shells
before the Canarias, fighting off a
feet of government fishing boats, made
the capture, the reports said. The
3.337-ton Galdames is owned by a
Spanish company.
Authoritative reports said the vessel
was taken in tow to Pasajes, on the
Northern Spanish Coast. While the
passengers were being disembarked at
that insurgent-held port. the report
stated, policeman tried to attack
three government COT sellors from
Irun who were in the group, but
was held in check.
The paSsengers-45 children, IS
women and 10 men-were refugees
returning to their homes in Bilbao,
from Bayonne. The adults were taken
to a jail at Pasajes, pending investiga-

The fishing boats, vessels of about
30 tons each and armed with three
inch cannon, put up dogged four

sometimes lower prices mean lower

I'VE want increased balanced pro-

need and want at prices low enough
to pass such increased production into
consumption, but at prices high
enough to keep such production COM

processes. 80
ut is obviously necessary
to bring about sufficient distribu-
tion in the national income so that
consumer purchasing power will more
continuously equal producing power"

to do just what the Secretary had
suggested: Organize consumers for ef-
fective action. Support Of this aim
was voiced in kilograms received at
