Dies Urges Support
For Continuance
Of Inquiry
Other Motions Trying
To Enlist U. S. War
Aid, Texon Says

Representative Dies, Democrat, of
Texas urged a radio audience last
night to support his proposal that
the new Congress continue the
House Committee on Un-American
Activities, of which he is chairman,
and give it $150,00O to pursue its
inquiry.
If this is done, the chairman said,
the committee could prove that for
eign nations are trying by propa-
ganda to enlist United States aid in
time OF war, or to cripple this Nation
in case such aid is refused.
In asking his listeners for sup
port, Representative Dies said the
committee ended it's work Thursday
because its current $25 900 appropri-
alton was exhausted.
America War Prize.
Some segments of the United
States population are dividing into
camps that have their counter
part in everything that is happen
ing in Europe" the Texan said.
THE ultimate purpose of all this
Is very plain to me-" he asserted.
Europe is on the brink of another
great war. America is looked upon
as a fat prize in the event of such
a war. 1t is recognized that if we
can be induced to throw the full
weight of our resources and man.
power behind any foreign country,
tnat country Is almost certain to
win.
Organized Opposition.
Il am sure that we can prove
that foreign countries are spending
millions of dollars for propaganda
purposes in the United States; that
they have built up in the United
States an elaborate and effective
system of espionage and sabotage"
Representative Dies said organ
lied minorities of Communists and
their sympathizers already had un-
dertaken a campaign of "propagan-
da' against re-creationsof the COM
mittee or for the appointment Of a
new committee for whitewash pur-
poses"
Mr.. Dies predicted that his som-
mlttee would be unanimous in its
recommendations to Congress. It's
report will be made public in about a
week, he said.

~ the Associated Press.
PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE Chamber of
Deputies voted more money for
armaments today as France awaited
anxiously an indication from Pre-
nier Mussolini on whether the
italian government would support
Fascist clamor for French territory.
Keeping pace with the swift sched-
ale ordered by Premier Edouard
Daladier, the chamber voted 49,
14s,0oo,00O francs ($346, ,081 ,5s6) for
national defense in the 1899 ordi-
nary budget, an increase of almost
5000 900 900 francs ($7S,978, ,00O over
1898. Extraordinary budget appro-
priations of 27,764,O00,000 francs
($729, BIS ,064), most of which are
for rearmament, remain to be
adopted.
Mussolini is to speak tomorrow
IN Sardinia, and France looked to
his address for an indication on
the official Italian view toward
Fascist demonstrations demanding
Tunisia, Corsica and other French
territory.
Precautions in Corsica.
The French press said extraordi-
nary precautions were taken in
Corsica, just north OF the Island
of Sardinia, against the posi-
bility that Mussolini's speech
would arouse violent counter-dem-
onstrations among the French pop
ulation.
The Corsican War Veterans As
sociation issued an appeal for calm,
special police squads were placed
on patrol and the Italian Consulate
at Ajaccio was guarded.
In a single day the Chamber of
Deputies approved ordinary budget
defense appropriations of $685.

army, 2.674,000,000 francs (S70,395,-

The same appropriations for 1898
totaled 10,379 100000 francs ($273,-
237 1854. Appropriation in the or
dinary budget-which includes those
voted today-are to be met by taxa
ton and other revenues, and the
extraordinary budget by borrowing.
Adoption Of the armaments sec
tion, which ordinarily would have
provoked a stormy debate on the
state of French defense, came al
most without discussion. The pre-
mier, however, promised ample
debate" on national defenses in
January.
The chamber decided to take up
the foreign ministry budget Monday
and conclude it's debate on the
