BRITISH CONSUL SUICIDE"
DECLARED AN "EXECTJTTON'

Hendaye, France, Dec. 23-(AP)-
Dispatches reporting the suicide of
British consulate employee following
his arrest in an alleged widespread
spy plot was interpreted in two ways
today on the border.
Reports from within insurgent
Spain said the suicide was an admis-
sion of guilt in the espionage network.

in a Burgos dispatch only as Fer
min, consulate porter, had tried to
smuggle military information out in
the British consuIs automobile
Government sources, however, SCOT
fed at the suicide report, and declar-
ed that the arrested man had been
executed. The suicide report, they
said, was issued officially to support

(For a month reports from both

of the officially confirmed leakage

Dear Corp
It has been said that some
of the greatest pleasures in lille
come from small things which
probably accounts for the great
pleasure We took in the receipt,
recently, of your sight draft, or
perhaps we should say, OF your
beat draft, purporting to be the
final answer to the Beet Grow.
ers dream for the 1887 crop OF
beets.
10 say that we telt relieved
when the payment was an
nounced would be TO put the
matter lightly, we assure you.
The fact of the matter is That
we, personally, felt relieved &C
tually to the extent of approx,
imately close to two hundred
dollars. OF course a hundred
dollars, more or less, to a beet
grower doesn't mean very much
but we shudder to think OF
the heartrendering feelings it
must have caused your Corpse
to part with all of that money.
Personally we are satisfied how
ever that this payment was
made from the bottom of your
heart, small as it is, and yet,
YOU wouldn't believe Tits so
silly isn't it?) but a lot of these
ungrateful grow er S actually
think that they have been a
teensy-weensy bit gypped. Isn't
that awful? OF course, you and
I know, (pardon the palgiar-
ism from your friend, the Presi-
dent, but it is such a neat
phrase, isn't it? It implies so
much) that the Holly wouldn't
even think of such a thing. Now
would they? Of course not. That
little gyppin' pastime happened
to them when they mistook and
signed that lien on their land
and labor before they started
plantin' beets. They mistook it
for a contract. It is silly, isn't
it?
It grieves and shocks us pro-
foundly to hear the way some
OF these silly growers talk about
you. We think it's terrible, don't
you? Why, honestly, some of
these growers wanted to return
these six cent beat drafts to
you so that you could put it
with that "windfall tax" money
of theirs that you have kept
for two years. They say, that,
apparently, you need it worse
than they do. The darn chumps
don't seem to realize that you
are dom them a great favor by
keepin' this money of theirs for
them. Certainly, if they got
their fingers on it they would
Just spend it or pay up some of
their bills or some such foolish
ment. Isn't it silly?
OF course we would like to
keep this confidential but some
of these growers, the dumb
things, (all beet growers are
dumb) think mebbe you haven't
done growers right, that you
never did do the growers right
and that you never will do the

sentatives the sole power to tax

was used wisely members of the

two years.
Speaking of throttling, Wash
ington side-line spectators won
der whether the new upward
business trend is to be halted
after the general elections by a
renewal of name calling. Even
government economists say the
upturn came too early to be
caused by renewed government
spending, which won't be really
effective until next summer.
They believe, instead, that the
cause was a breathing spell
which coaxed business and
money into taking another
chance.
If business and money are

COMMENT
THIRD TERM TALK
From Our Exchanges

- -
More talk is going the rounds
concerning the possibility of MIR.
Roosevelt running for a third term.
A considerable part Of the talk Us
based upon unfounded rumor-but
there is a leavening Of hard fact
that points to a number of interest
ing conclusions.
There are various obvious bar
riers to any presidents third-term
ambitions. In the first place, the
strain Of the White House usually
is a man-killer-a the fact that we
have never had more than two ex-
presidents living at one time indi-
Gates. However, in the case Of Mr..
Roosevelt, this is not as important
as in the case of most Of his pred
ecessors-no president since his dis
tant cousin Theodore has seemed to
thrive so well on the colossal labors
that fall upon the Chief Executive.
In the second place, the mo
third-term" trodition is still held by
millions Of voters. Various polls,
such as those conducted periodical
ly by Fortune, show that the major
ity of the people. including those
favorable to the New Deal and the
President, are generally opposed to
more than eight years of office for
any president.
In the third place-and this is
especially true today-a president
who is known to be seeking third
term cannot help but meet stiff OPP
position within his party ranks.
Many senators, governors, govern
ment officials and other envisage
themselves in the role of national
leader. They seek the mantle of
greatness. And while they will not,
fer the most part, openly oppose an
third-term ambitions,
they will usually pull all the strings

1898 says:~,
HE killed the sales tax, substi-
tuted income and liquor taxes. With
Governor Byrd's Virginia law as
his model, he reorganized the state
government, abolishing 100 boards
and commissions, consolidating 119
divisions into %, including a new
department Of welfare. Aided by
largesse from Washington, he bal
anced his budget, attacked and re-
funded the $4,000, 900 state debt Sc
