In foreign once circles here there
was some speculation as to whether

SUBSIDIES
OPPOSED BY HULL
Questioned on Wallace
Proposal, He Refers to.
. ft.-
Earlier Speeches.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary Of State Hull. questioned
yesterday about the Agriculture De-
partment's proposal to subsidize the
export of 100, 200, 600 bushels of wheat,
indicated that he was as opposed Is
ever to the idea of an export subsidy.
He referred inquirers to his speeches
made over period Of many years. He
told them he would let them know If
any material change occurred in his
ideas.
His speeches. from the time he en-
tered the House of Representatives,
through his years in the Senate and
finally in the State Department. in
clude many expressions of opposition
to the export subsidy policy.
The Capital speculated, therefore.
that Mr.. Hull and Secretary Of Agri-
culture Wallace might clash over the
export subsidy project. Some experts
said, however. that Mr.. Wallace might
be able to obviate the clash by reduc-
ing the amount of the subsidy so that
it would not interfere substantially
with Mr.. Hulps program Of eliminating
artificial trade barriers-or by reach
ing an agreement with other agricul-
tural exporting nations so that all
would apply subsidy and none would
regard it as grounds for retaliatory
trade measures.
House Speech Recalled.
In the House Of Representatives In
1919, Mr.. Hull declared:
Another class of commercial prac-
tices and methods which has been the
source of much unfairness and the
cause of much retaliation and conse-
quent Ill feeling relates to subsidies,
bonuses, drawbacks, rebates, etc.
These policies are generally utilized
for the encouragement of export busi-
ness"
Speeches of the same tenor were
made in the Senate when Hull repre-
sented Tennessee in that body.
"Complication" Cited.
On May 2, 1885, speaking as secre-
tary of State before the Chamber Of
Commerce Of the United States, he
declared:
II have had presented to me time
and again schemes for expanding our
exports of our agricultural products by
means of preferential arrangements,
dumping devices and other measures
which involve serious complications
of our general trade relations"
Secretary Hull came out against
certain other trade practices when he
rejected Germany's offer of a trade
arrangement, making clear that his
rejection applied as long as that coun-
try continued her system Of bilateral
barter and so-called "aski'' marks
The offer had been made in q speech
by German secretary Of state for eco
nomics, Rudolf Brinckmann.

Refuse to Diyulse CHARGES.


BERLIN, Aug. 10 P.-An informed
source disclosed today that the Gestapo
(secret poIice) tried to arrest Capt.
Thomas Kendrick, British passport
officer at Vienna, at his home in that
city Tuesday, but he had already left
by automobile.
Capt. Kendrick was arrested Wednes-
day at the German-Swiss border rs he
and his wife tried to leave Germany
on vacation.
German authorities continued their
refusal to divulge the nature Of the
charges against the British official
but they rejected the suggestion that
he might have been arrested for viola
ton of Germany's restrictions on folr
eign exchange dealings.
The fact that Capt Kendrick Is held
at Gestapo headquarters in the Hotel
Metropole in Vienna, officials said, is
in conflict with this theory. Persons
held for questioning on foreign ex-
change matters usually are taken to
the so-called economic police Writ

HENDAYE, France, Aug. 19.-Span-
kh insurgents closed the French from
tier and loosed a heavy air raid on
Barcelona today in preparation for
general offensive.
Insurgent military leaders confirmed
that Generalissimo Francisco Franco
himself would lead new drive. Fran
co named Gen Juan Vigon, former
chief of staff Of the Northern 1nsur-
gent Army, chief of his personal staff.
Frontier Shut Tight.
French border guards said insurgent
authorities had shut the frontier
tighter than at any time since the
start of the civil war more than
two years ago.
Insurgent sources said they ex-
pected the offensive would be directed
against Catalonia, possibly coupled
with a simultaneous drive against be-
sieged Madrid.
The goal of the campaign appar-
entiy was to end the civil war before
1t reaches its third winter.
A number of insurgent officers who
have been on leave were recalled to
duty effective August 81.
Barcelona Bombed Thrice.
Insurgents said they bombed Bar
eelona three times between dawn and
noon today. Reports reaching the
border said 20 persons were killed and
100 wonded.
(Fragmentary reports direct from
Barcelona, seat of the Spanish
government and center of its war
machine, described the raids as the
worst in nlonths)
Several bombs were said to have
fallen in Barcelona's old quarter, sur
rounding the waterfront district.
The bombing of Barcelona and re-
ports that the insurgents were pre-
pairing heavy new offensive followed
charges that large numbers OF Italian
troops and quantities of war material
recently have been sent to Franco.
The British Embassy in Rome has
drawn attention" of the Fascist
government to these charges.
Almaden Drive Smashed.
Government dispatches said an in
surgent thrust against Almaden, key
