new SPENDING
PROGRAM ASKED
BY La CUARD|A
New York Mayor Lays Re-
cession Blame on
Businessmen

WASHINGTON, Jan. II. = New
York's Mayor La Guardia has adj
vocated a new Federal Public Works
spending program to meet the bust
ness recession and has also urged
business to keep prices down.
La Guardia urged lower prices
to give impetus to private spending
He was a witness at the Senate I'm
employment Committee sessions.
New York City, La Guardia said,
Couldn't have existed" during the
recession without Federal aid. He
asserted that Public Works expen-
ditures had created business i'm
provement since the depression ex-
cept that 1.-THE pass is incomplete
because business and industry
missed the ball"
Business should have cooperated
to keep down overhead pric e
charges, said La Guardia. Business
should have realized that govern
ment expenditures would be only
temporary and the failure to rec
ognize such has caused the present
sharp recession, La Guardia charged.

In Russia, the Soviet Union is put
ting the finishing touches on new
Constitutional government.
In Spain, Insurgent and Loyalist
warriors marked time over the week
end except for a scattering of In
surgent air raids along the Eastern
coast.
Great Britain was concerned with
not only these many world develop
ments with which she is intimately
connected, but has also to wreStle
with a problem at home-the Brit
ish family" Negotiations were be-
ing carried forward with the often
recalcitrant Fire, formerly the Irish
Free State, on trade, defense, and
political issues.
Prime Minister canon de Valera
and his Irish Ministers have con-
ferred with the British Premier
Chamberlain in London with the
intent to raise the question, among
others. of the proposed union OF
Fire with Northern Ireland, entitled
THE New De Valera Constitution. "
Across the English Channel,
Frances governmental crisis has
come back pretty much to where it
started.
Resigned Premier Camille Chau-
temps who last week declined to
form a new cabinet to replace his
own Peoples Front Government
which was wrecked by monetary
and labor troubles, was again called
upon by President LIE Brun to form

The possibility of a japanese
drive on South China focuses Brit
ish eyes on Hongkong, that little
bit of England" half way round
the world from home.
Reason: Logical object of a Jap
anese push southwark would be
Canton, principal city of that area;
and only 80 miles farther south
from Canton lies Hongkong, Bri-
tain's stronghold on the Chinese
coast.
Hongkong, you may be surprised
to know, is not a city, but Brit
ish crown colony, 800 square miles
in area, which forms the bottle
neck through which flows vast
trade with the great interior Of
South China.
A rocky island, II miles long,
with a ridge of hills rising nearly
1000 feet, is the original Hong
kong. During the Opium war, re-
sulting from importation of opium
into China by foreign traders, the
British navy established base on
Hongkong island.
After the war the island was
coded to Britain, and later China
coded to her the Kowloon PENN

BRITISH ISLES
STORM SWEPT

LONDON, Jan. II - The British
Isles counted 33 deaths as the re-
suit of terrific Atlantic born gales
which raced over the land over the
week END. The usua lily gentle
Thames boiled and cast on the shore
several bodies victims of floods and
small craft swapping.
The Scottish and Welsh coasts
have also been swept and reports
indicate that two vessels have sunk,
presumably with the loss OF all
hands.
