the exact situation with re-
gard to her affairs of the
heart. It is an enlightening
letter and I take pleasure in
passing it on to you for your

you've heard that I'm not go
ing to marry Bob Taylor. We
never intended to be married,
but You know how these

many people here are in the

true, that we haven't had
much luck convincing any
one that in our case the de-
nial is sincere.

Sit-Down Strike Worries
Governor of Illinois

COV. HENRY HORNER of Illi-
~ nois and Martin Durkin, his
state director of labor, were making
earnest efforts to bring about a
peaceful settlement Of a sit-down
strike in the plants of the Fansteel
Metallurgical corporation at North
Chicago. Their problem was much
like that faced by Governor Murphy
of Michigan in the General Motors
strike. The sheriff of Lake county,
armed with contempt citations, had
tried to evict the strikers but he
and his force of deputies were re-
pulsed and it was reported he would
not take the sole responsibility of
clearing out the plants by force.
The corporation had refused to
treat with outsiders who sought to
represent the employees who belong
to a union allied with the C. I. o.
The heat had been turned off in the
plants, but when the weather turned

construction program, Admiral Will
liam D. Leahy, chief of naval opera
tions of the American navy, served
notice that any foreign nations ex-
panding their navies beyond the
standards of recent treaties might
expect that the United States would
match their construction. He said
it was his understanding that this
nation was definitely committed to
the maintenance of a "navy second
to none" To maintain that princi-
Pile, he declared, it would become
necessary for the United States to
build new ships if other powers did.
The present United States build
ing program calls for start of con-
struction this year on two new cap
ital ships. Great Britain already
has laid the keels of two new craft
and the program announced in Lon
don calls for the start, after April l,
of construction of a third new yes
sci. When Britain lays a third keel,
then this government is likely to
start similar construction.

the part of steel makers to avoid
labor restrictions of the Walsh
Healy act.
"The federation council took a
very definite POSITION" Green said.
"We could not sponsor or favor any
modification of the Walsh-Healy act
as it applies to those steel corpora
tons refraining from bidding.
1.-THE American Federation of La
Dor sponsored that bill and it is
reasonable and fair measure pro-
viding work standards that are rea-
sonable and fair. We gain the i'm
preston that there is collision on
the part of the steel corporations
because no single steel company
has submitted a bid"

Blockade of Spain to
Insulate Civil War

xIlSuldtC OANA w a.
co FAR as the international nom
~ Intervention committee can do
II. the war in Spain is now insulated.
Representatives of 26 European ma
tons agreed that no more volun-
teers for either side in the civil
conflict should be permitted to en-
ter the Iberian peninsula, effective
at midnight February 20; and they
laid plans for complete blockade
by land and sea that would prevent
the importation of any more men
or war munitions. Only Portugal
dissented, objecting to establish
ment of frontier guards on her ter
ritory: Great Britain, France, Ger
many, Italy and Russia ignored the
Portuguese protests and went ahead
with the blockade plans, which are
to be put into effect by March 6.
The decisions were reached after
France delivered a virtual ultima
tum to her fellow committee men,
bers to end their pickering and
warned Italy she would not stand
for "open invasion of Spain" The
French were quick to place guards
at all strategic points along the
Franco-Spanish frontier.
The international naval patrols
presumably will not have authority
to stop vessels suspected of carry
ing arms and men to Spain, but
will report ship movements to the
committee for action and will place
observers on the vessels to check
cargoes.
Supposing this blockade to be sue
cessful, it may well be that the
Spanish civil war will die of mani
ton. Then may be brought about
that which the International COM
mittee seeks-international media
ton between the insurgents and the
loyalist government.
For the present both sides are re-
newing their efforts for decisive VIC
tory. The fascists, still driving hard
at the 'life line" that connects Ma
drid and Valencia, also are attack
ing the capital itself again. Their
airplanes made two night bombing
assaults on the city and its envi-
rons, killing a number of persons;
and their artillery constantly shells
the highways to Valencia.
The loyalist government, at it's
temporary seat in Valencia, took
new mandate of absolute power
from all Popular Front parties
and modified all available man
power to oppose the insurgent
forces. All military classes of the
last five years were drafted for inn
mediate war service.

Marking Offers Peace to
Chinese Communists

n FFERING to make peace with
~ the Chinese communists
against whom it has waged war for
ten years, the National government
at Marking announced the terms on
which those reds would be allowed
participation in national affairs. The
Kuomintang's demands are: Adolf
ton of the communist army and its
incorporation in the National gov
eminent forces; dissolution of the
Chinese communist state and it's
unification with the central govern
ment; cessation of red propaganda
opposed to Kuomintang principles,
and stoppage of the class struggle
which divides society into antagonis-
tic classes and invites mutual de-
struction.
That the Marking government is
steadily growing stronger is made
evident in the more conciliatory at
titude adopted lately by Japan. A
spokesman for Hayashi's new cab
met in Toxic indicated Japan was
willing to abate its demands for
simultaneous settlement of all pend
ing Sino-Japanese incidents a d
negotiate separate settlements for
each.

their minds. Not long before, Mr..
Ashurst and several other senators
were called to the White House to
discuss the strategy of the fight the
administration faces. The Arizona
senator and Majority Leader Joe
Robinson of Arkansas, who was
among the conferees, only recently
were vociferous in declaring con-
stitutional amendment was the only
proper way to accomplish the Pres
ident's purpose. But now they are
obediently supporting the admin
istration measure.
Senators Frazier of North Dakota,
Bone of Washington and Nye of
North Dakota also were summoned
to the White House, but what they
heard there did not change their
stand against the Presidents plan.
Mr.. Nye, indeed, soon after de-
livered a radio address against it.
He did not especially defend the
Supreme court, but said he thought
there are better ways of attaining
the objective in conformity to the
Constitution than the way of packing
the court proposed by Mr.. Roose-
welt. He could not see wherein an
81 decision is any more desirable
than As decision, which has
served to agitate us against the
alleged course of permitting the SUI
preme court to declare acts of con-
gress unconstitutional.
However foreign to the Presi-
dent the thought of dictatorship
may be, in connection with his pres
ent request it is good warning to
look out-not for him necessarily,
but for those who would in other
days have opportunity to use the
power which he would have us now
extend"
Ex-President Herbert Hoover in
an address before the Union League
club of Chicago uttered solemn
warning that the Presidents plan
was serious threat against the
ultimate safeguard of liberty, and
condemned any such "quick and
revolutionary change in the Con-
stitution."
At this writing 80 senators have
declared publicly against the bill;
80 are on record for it, and "a have
not committed themselves. The adj
ministration leaders expected to
pick up at least IL from the nom
committal group, and claimed
more.

Viceroy's Life Attempted
by Ethiopian Bombers

THAT Italy's conquest of Ethiopia
= does not yet embrace all Ethio-
plans was demonstrated when a
shower of hand grenades was hurled
at Viceroy Rodolfo GRAHAM in Ad-
dis Ababa by natives. The viceroy
was only slightly injured but sew
eral in his suite, including Air Gen.
Aurelio Lolita and the Abuna Cyril,
Coptic bishop Of Ethiopia, were Sc
verely wounded. The attack took
place just before the close of cell
ebrations for the birth of son to
the crown prince Of Italy.
The assassins escaped in the con-
fusion, but the army and police
started on relentless manhunt and
soon had more than 1000 natives
under arrest.
