HITLER 'RESTS;
PURGE GOES ON

now under consideration is the
question Of Won Ribbentrop's
departure from London. He now
is German ambassador to Great
Britain, and some Nazis feel a
striking gesture could be made If
he took over his new post before
leaving London.
His farewell conversations with
British officials would then be of
far greater importance than at
present.
It was regarded possible he
might defer his departure until a
British note now being drafted
pursuant to the recent visit of
ViScount Halifax to Berlin has
been received here.
The German government was
furious with the foreign press for
its various versions of the purge.
It was particularly angry with
French and British newspapers
which "magnified" rumors of an
attempted putsch and reported
the arrest of many army officers
in an alleged plot, and the foreign
office brought the matter to
attention of the French and
British embassies.
Reports that Gen. Werner Won
Frltsch, former commander in
chief, had been arrested because
or other antt-Hitler plot, were
found to be groundless.

Eden said the government had
reason to believe that pirate
ships" operating in the Mediterra-
mean were based on the Island of
Majorca, insurgent stronghold in
the Balearics.
Generalissimo Franco, insurgent
leader, has been notified, Eden
said, that Britain reserves the right
to retaliate without warning If
any further attacks on British
ships occur.
British patience is ex-
hausted," Eden said. His
Majesty's government will not
tolerate submarines submerged
in the zones of the western
Mediterranean patrolled by the
British fleet.
'The French and Italian gov.
ernments have agreed to take
similar action in their zones"
Eden made it clear Britain holds
Franco responsible for recent
Mediterranean piracy, particularly
in the case of the freighter Alcira
sunk wit ha loss of II lives.
1--WE have every reason to be-
lieve," he said, that this at
tack was made by the aircraft
service of General Franco"

BRITAIN HOPES

London Wants Big Ships
To Match Japan
BY KINGSBURY SMITH
Copyright, 1898, by International
NewS ServiceO

LONDON, Feb. 7.-Startled by
information from her naval intel
ligence service indicating that
Japan lisp tanning to build 10000
ton cruisers, Britain today hoped
to induce the United States to
join in similar construction.
London was as much upset over
word that Japan aims to put
supercruisers on the Pacific as
Britain and America were over
rJippon's reported intention OF
building mammoth battleships.
THREAT TO BRITAIN
Big Japanese cruisers, Britain
fears, would constitute a direct
threat to Britain's vital trade
routes to the Far East, which are
now guarded by cruisers.
If Japan builds the 13,0OO-ton
cruisers, according to British in
formation, she will mount them
with 10-inch guns.
Under the existing treaty of Lon
don, Britain, the United States
and France are limited to cruisers
of 10000 tons with six-inch guns
unless one Of the signatories ex-
Iceeds that limit.
U. S. ACTION HOPED
In view Of Japan's anticipated
rejection of the three-power de.
Imand for information about Nip.
pon's building plans, Britain hoped
that America would acquiesce in
construction, at least by Britain.
of similar ships.
Perturbed over this new develop.
ment in the Orient, Britain at the
same time moved to keep peace in
the Mediterranean by drastic meas
ures against piracy.

Close to Portugaps Macao and
Britain'S Hongkong, japanese air

a stream of shells and bombs into
Heungchow that the city, with an
estimated population Of 10000,
was turned into mound of ashes

CHINESE OFFENSIVE
After steadily falling back for
days, the armies of Generalissimo
Chang Kai-Shek launched a
strong counter offensive today on
the southern section of the
ntsin-Nanking railroad fronts.
Inflicting heavy losses, seven
Chinese planes at the same time
bombed Japanese positions south
of the Hwai River.

House speech made by Repub-
hcan Representative Engel OF
Michigan. (See Page 1902, Con-
gressional Record, February 81
Engel gave results of a per-
sonal study which showed the
Treasury public debt at $37,-

non-recoverable RFC assets for
a total of $4,000, 900, 900 on

and local debts at $4,000, ,000,-
900, makins, a total national,
State and local government debt
of $50, ,000,0O0
Private long-term debt was
estimated at $4,000, ,000,0
making the total public and pri-
vate debt an unbelievable $780,.
000, 100000.
This was compared by Engle
with national assessed real es-
tate valuations of $134,000, ,00O,-
900 which indicates the mort
gage on the U. S. is about 99.4
per cent of the real estate valua-
ton. He also compared it with
the estimated national wealth
of $2S6, 900 ,0O0,0 to conclude
that debts now amount to 46.5
