and would cooperate in trying to re-
spect non-military- detectives. But,
and here is the nub-he would do all
this only if his government" be rec
ognized as legal belligerent; if neu-
trail observers be recalled from ships
plying Spanish waters; if the Brit
iSh and the French governments
would accede to his demand that
withdrawal of volunteers be not por-
portional, and if neutral observers
would be restrained from flying above
Spanish territory.
The immediate reaction in Great
Britain was continued calm; in
France, an insistent demand that the
government throw open the frontiers
for export of food and war materials
to the Barcelona regime.
Situation Eased.
But, aside from the Spanish inter-
mezzo, the general European situa-
ton has eased bit during the last
few days, one reason being the fact
that the Prague government has
promised the Sudeten German minor
ity in Czecho-Slovakia that in the
future high district officials will be
Germans rather than Czechs; this
concession has not ended the negoti-
ations concerning the minority prob
lens, but has, to the contrary, made
it possible to continue on somewhat
more advantageous basis, and there
is said to be prospect of friendly
solution. Lord Walter Runciman
Great Britain's special envoy, is
still in Prague where he is confering
with government officials as well as
with representatives of the minority
groups.
Daladier Nervous.
France remains in state of nerv-

Ter, Edouard Daladier; "a few days
ago he broadcast a speech to the
French nation declaring that the 40
hour week, introduced by the Leon
Blum government, be abolished "for
the sake of national security and the
sterilization of the franc" He said
that the European situation had made
it necessary for the French people to
work necessarily, and that the 40
hour week was a hindrance. There
is a possibility that he will repeal
that law, for he has the power to do
it since parliament some time ago
authorized him to have practically
full charge of government affairs.
Facing His Fate.
In Vienna-or possibly in some
German concentration camp-the last
chancellor of now vanished Austria
Kurt Schuschnigg, is awaiting his
fate. A few days ago the German
government enacted by decree law
according to which a new judicial
tribunal is set up to dispose of cases
like that of Schuschnigg. His Crime
is that he, as head of his government
protested against Germany's invasion
and conquest of his nation, and that
attitude must, in the eyes of Hitler
lied Germany, be considered nothing
less than high treason.
AS to what fate will be melted out
to the ex-chancellor, no one is in

Not unaptly, someone has described
Hungary as young girl who has dis
covered the fact that more than one
man wants to marry her.
Here is what the Little Entente

states as well as with the Balkans;
military equality; closer economic re-

On the other hand, Germany is

Hungarian interests on condition that
the Budapest government resign from
the League of Nations; economic I'M

General Francisco Franco finally has
sent a reply to the British and the

a refusal, but it is suavely couched

Great Britain and France necessarily
will look with frown and dismay.
What had been demanded was a

accepted that. But Franco said this:

100000 inhabitants were made
today to the speaker of the Sejm
(parliament) by Is Ukrainian dep

The Polish UkrainianS seek to
set up self-government by local
Sejm which, however, would leave
matters of foreign policy, cur

loans to the Warsaw government.
The Ukrainian deputies pro-
posed that a Ukrainian premier

Polish cabinet.
For the last 16 years citizens
of the Polish Ukraine have been
clamoring for self-government,

demands have been presented IN

NAILS TO LABEL
JEWS OUTCAST
By PIERRE ]. HUSS

BERLIN, Dec. 10 GNSD.-Re-
Strictive drives to push the Jews
into ghettos continued relentlessly
today with further DEGREES ex-
pected shortly for the purpose Of
classifying Jews as outcastS.
Nazis hope, as a result, that the
outside world may in one way or
another permit the exodus Of be-
tween 400, 900 and 600, 900 German
Jews in the next six months.
Several methods, it was learned.
are under way to facilitate such
an exodus. One is the granting of
coupons on the Jews remaining
capital, suitable for cashing out
side the Reich for the equivalent
in German goods exported from
this country. Thus it is intended
that flight of capital be avoided,
while German exports are in
creased at the same time.
Germany, it was reliably stated
today, welcomes a new British
plan to create a national home
for Jews in Rhodesia, especially
if the movement would involve the
export credit scheme.
Important Nazi quarters say
that in the last six months a mass
exodus scheme was tried from
Vienna, whence $4,000 Jews were
shipped out, chiefly to South
America. The figures have not
been subStantiated officially.

FARMERS VOTE
IN SOUTH TODAY
ON AAA POLICY
Go to Polls to Approve
Or Kill Quota Plan

1.N.S.) Deep Sout h farmers
headed for towns and cities today,
in mule-drawn wagons and stream
lined automobiles, in trucks and
some on foot, to vote on a vital
economic issue in their lives, and,
in effect. to approve or disapproVe
t he Administration agriculture
policies.
The farmers, those who pro
duce on both large and small
scales, balloted in referenda on
cotton and flue-cured t ba co
quotas computed by the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration,
which announced the former at
approximately 27,500,000 acres,
and the latter at 754,0OO,OOO
pounds.
TWO-THIRDS VOTE NEEDED
Growers will decide whether the
quotas are satisfactory, and, there
fore, whether they favor Govern
ment control under the present
farm program, which is being put
to severe test in the referenda the
results of which are in doubt
since the recent political elections.
The referenda are conducted
in a manner similar to political
elections, with the voters casting
secret ballots.
The quotas must receive ap-
proval of two-thirds of the farmers
voting to become effective next
year. Each farmer growing the
crops is eligible to vote.
RICE QUOTA UP ALSO
AS the tobacco and cotton-grow-
ing farmers cast their ballots,
other growers in five States and
Hawaii voted on the rice quota
of 1874 900 barrels.
The cotton referendum con-
cerned farmers in 10 States, while
in six bright" tobacco producing
States-Virginia, North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida and
Alabama-growers voted their
opinions of the tobacco quota.

RANKIN FLAYS
UTILITIES At

Private Power Firms
Called "FasCists"

GN.s) Charges that private
electric power companies practice
"the worst form of Fascism" were
made today by Representative
John E. Rankin 3D. of Missis-
Sippi.
Lashing at utilities fighting the
Tennessee Valley Authority, the
Mississippian accused the "pri.
vate power interests" with bribing
public officials and spreading
propaganda through churches and
schools.
Rankin's attack on the utilities
came at the hearing of the Joint

ting IVA.

utilities "overcharges" and loan
them out at 35 per cent interest,

He contended that IVA "is
not after anybody's property for
nothing" and that we're not
trying to rob anybody. We are
trying to keep the unprotected
