Francisco Franco had agreed to COM

deliberately bombed.
Later the shipowners learned that
Gen. Franco was unwilling to pay and
that plans for inquiries into air bomb
ings Of British vessels exclude any
witnesses except Gen. Frances. They
have protested to Mr.. Chamberlain.
Maj. Clement r. Attlee, opposition
leader, today issued . statement back
ing the shipowners and attacking Mr..
Chamberlain.
"The fact that the British govern
ment is prepared to put forward such
proposals to the shipowners shows
their utter indifference to British in
terests where they conflict with those
OF Gen. Franco. It Is but another
example Of the thoroughly dishonest
handling OF the whole Spanish busi-
ness. Their complacency over Frances
long delay in giving reply on the
subject Of the evacuation Of volun-
teers Is another.
AT every point Franco is favored
and, as has been said SO often, it Is
quite clear that the British govern

In Spain, always favors the rebels"

SUPPORTER
Of REICH POLICY
PoIand's Foreign Minister
Opposes French on
Status Quo.
BY PERTINAX.

PARIS, Aug. Is CANADIAN
competent observers returning from
Germany are distinctly pessimistic
about the prospects Of safeguarding
European peace early next month,
when the National Socialist Congress
meets at Nuremberg.
Skepticism obtains here and in Lon
don as to Viscount Runciman's ability
to solve the terrible problem with
which he has to contend. Hitherto,
Lord Runciman has hardly shown any
trend Of thought, but. in we'll informed
quarters. he Is credited with the inten-
ton to suggest that a plebiscite might
be arranged to take place in two
years. time, a delay which would en-
able the Czechoslovak government to
build an artificial frontier that would
leave aside the German-peaking dis
tricts. Such q scheme sounds fantas-
tic. as it would necessarily mean that
the Praha government accepts in ad-
vance the surrender Of q part Of the
national territory, and nobody can be-
lieve that it will be put forward.
The most ominous sign Of the times
to record is perhaps the attitude Of
Col. joseph Beck, the Polish foreign
minister. During the past four years
he has behaved As q confirmed ac-
complice Of the pam policy.
However. he thought it opportune to
spare French feelings. and he in
dulged, on the whole, in an underhand
game. Now, from week to week, he
becomes bolder and bolder and stands
openly against the French policy of

Planes Bought in Moscow.
Lately, the Czechoslovak government
bought In Moscow about 80 airplanes.
King Carol and Petrescu Comnen. the
Rumanian Foreign Minister, decided
to comply with request from Praha
that those airplanes be allowed transit
across Rumanian territory. But Beck
has raised protest in Bucharest
against the assistance thus lent to
Czechoslovakia by her partner in the
Little Entente. arguing that 1t was out
Of order under the existing Polish
Rumanian treaty.
The Polish objection is all the more
extraordinary in that the Bucharest
governments decision does not in
fringe upon international law, as
understood before and after the ad-
vent Of the League Of Nations. Com
men had to explain that, since the
Czechoslovak government had already
paid for the airplanes, he was COM
PEELED to regard them as Czechoslovak
goods and deal with them accordingly.
Still more serious is the turn taken
by negotiations which were begun be-
tween Paris and Warsaw last May.
When the first Czechoslovak crisis
broke out three months ago, Georges
Bonnet, the French Foreign Minister,
pressed Beck to define his country's
attitude. Beck declared that Poland
would do everything for France If
France were directly attacked by Ger
many. but that she would consider
herself free from every kind Of obliga-

This was most unsatisfactory
statement. which French and even
British diplomacy Immediately strove
to have cancelled, the British Am
bassador going 80 far on one occasion
- to tell Beck that Poland wss about
to commit suicide for the second time.
Bonnet still persists in trying to per-
suade the Polish government not to
stick any longer to the above line Of
conduct and to indorse at last assur-

ROME.-Premier Benito Mussolint
wants 60.0o0 900 Italians by 1850.
:. If he gets them. 1t will be the rural
south, not the industrial north. he will
have to thank. Statistics show the
south responds better than the north
to his campaign for more babies.
Calabria, 1taly's toe, and Puglie. its
heel, have birth rates approximately
double those Of Northern Piedmont
and Lombardy.
In the net population gain the south
makes even . better showing for the
high pre-Fascist death rate there has
been reduced by modern sanitation
and medicine.
Scornful of Northerners.
Leaders of the Fascist baby cam
paign scornfully show Northern Ital-
,ians the southern birth statistics and
ask, "Why don't you do likewise?"
) One of these, Franco de Agazio,
compiled figures showing that If Pied
,mont's 1886 birth rate held good for
,all Italy the country in 1861 would
have only its present population Of
:43.ooo,OOO.
! But If Calabria's rate obtained for
all Italy. In 1861 there would be
,67.27s,000 Italians. Agazio asserts.
The birth propaganda and the new
Fascist racial doctrine are promoted
by the same government ONCE.
In the first years Of the Topographic
campaign the birthrate dropped from
3o.s per 1000 population in 1922, the
year Fascism came to power, to 22.2
lin 1896.
1887 Rate Went Up.
The government. alarmed, doubled
the intensity Of its campaign, and
the 1887 rate went up to 22.7. Figures
since January indicate an increase also
may be registered for 1898.
The government encourages child
bearing in many ways-by constant
propaganda, bachelors tax, prizes. tax
exemptions, reduced rail fares. prefer
ment in government Jobs and other
inducements.
Of the italian people Is bound up with
greater numbers. A teeming Italian
population is his main argument for
1tAly's right to expand, and the more

gave Gen. Marie Gustave Gamelin,
head Of the French general staff. in
September, 1886. when q credit Of two
billion francs was made available to
Poland to help speed up her rearma-
ment.
Gen. Smigly- y-Rydz had said at that
time that his country would in no
case go ahead against Czechoslovakia,
which consequently had better not
spend her funds in erecting fortif1ca-
tions along the Polish border. He had
added that Poland meant to perform
her commitments under article XVI
Of the League Covenant against an
aggressor, and that Russian air forces
would be authorized to fly over Polish
territory, if necessary.
Such are the verbal promises the
French government now would like
the Polish government formally to
ratify and transform into q binding
pledge. First, Gen. Smigly-Rydz was
approached. in the hope he would de-
clare he held them valid as far Is he
was concerned. But the Polish COM
mander pretended he could not re-
member them, and he used the oppor-
tunity to express himself about
Czechoslovakia in q hostile manner.
Appeal Made to Beck.
Afterward. an appeal was made to
Beck, who was good enough to tell
the French government that no AZ
gression on C1echoslovakia would ever
be contemplated, but he did not ad-
NIT that Article XVI saddled Poland
with any liability whatever. More
over. when he was urged from Paris
to put in writing the modest first
point. excluding aggression on Czecho-
slovakia, Col. Beck retorted he was
surprised that his word should be
doubted.

Reward for Service.

The retirement of Lemuel A. Car
ruthers from the Census Bureau after
thirty-eight years Of honorable and
distinguished service cannot be permitted
to pass without some comment on the
real debt of gratitude that this COM
munity owes to one Of its valued mem-
bers. Happily, Mr.. Carruthers' retire.
ment from Government service does not
bring to close his service to his fellow
citizens: it should, in fact, increase his
opportunities for service. AS president
Of the Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions, he is needed and will continue to
be needed in the work for Washington.
But it was in connection with his work
with the Census Bureau as a skilled
statistician, specializing in the compare
tive financial statistics Of municipan-
ties that he had unusual opportunity to
help Washington. Always meticulously
careful to separate his of1icial duties
from his self-imposed obligations as a
citizen, Mr.. Carruthers' work in the past
in helping to present Washington's case
for fiscal equity substantial part Of
which consisted of comparative figures
on tax burdens-has been Of inestim-
able value. He brought into the councils
Of citizens an experts knowledge and .

With fifty-nine Of their neighbors

by the entire public-in effect, a new
