All OF Europe's Major Powers Are
Drawn Into Italo-French Quarrel;
British Pact With Rome May Crumble

The widening crisis, revolving
around Italian charges that war
materials are being shipped across
the French border into Loyalist
Spain, struck at the heart Of
Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain's realistic" policy Of dealing
with the dictators on a plan Of
general appeasement.
Unless Britain, in q role Of me-
diator,s can ease theItalo-F French
tension the new British pact with
Italy may collapse because it does
not become operative until q So
luton is obtained for the with.
drawal of foreign volunteers"
from Spain.
The crisis grew out Of Premier
Mussolini's speech at Genoa last
Saturday in which he spoke pessl-
mistically of the Italo-French ne
gotiation-significantly they have
been in allegiance since Fuehrer
Adolf Hitler's state visit to Rome
on May because France and
Italy are "on opposite sides Of the
barricade in SPAIN"
Mussolini is understood to have
served notice on both France and
Britain that there can be no talk
of Italo-French rapprochement
until France closes her Pyrenees
border.

OPENS DRIVE IN
PENNSYLVANIA
Good Crowd Turns Out
Despite Heavy Rain AT
Speaking Time
CONSTRUCTIVE STEPS
FOR PEOPLE FAVORED

BOSNIAN, May 81. Especial to
The Times-News) Lee Whitmire
of Hendersonville, a native Tran
sylvania son, opened his cam
paign for congressional nominal
ton here Friday night before a
crowd of $50 to 200 people who
braved steady downpour that
had started before six o'clock.
Mr.. Whitmire was introduced
by Mrs. Joe E. Osborne, wife of
a prominent physician of the COM
munity, as "the next congress-
man, and one of whom we shall
be justly proud"
At the outset, the congression-
al candidate Landed President
Roosevelt as ''the man of the
hour" who came into power in
1888 when the country was look
ing for leadership, and declared
that ''if you send me to Washing
ton, | shall line up with President
Roosevelt on all moves that are
for the best interest of the people
who earn their living by the sweat
of their brow.
"There is a fair road to trav-
ell" the speaker declared in deal
ing with the question of capital
and labor, "and-it is the duty Of
every man in Washington to see
to it that this fair road is kept
open, and travel is upon it ct all
times.
Labor has every right to or
ganize," the speaker said, land to
bargain for it's rights, for fair
show. For when the laboring man
is happy and prosperous the coun-
try as a whole is in good condi-
ton. The rights of labor are the
same as the rights of capital and
industry, and should have the
same protection.
However" the speaker as en-
phatically declared, Industry
must have a fair show in the leg
islative halls of the nations capt.
tol, so that proper expansion may
be made, and that the masses will
have a steady place of employ
ment. Especially is this true" Mr..
Whitmire said, "of the industry
that would come to the Western
North Carolina section, which IS
now being looked upon with IA
vor by manufacturers"
The speaker took a pointed rap
at Congressman Weaver, when he
referred to the situation at Hia-
wassee dam in Cherokee county.
Without calling any names, ne
said, "If you send me to congress
/ shall look out first for the in
terests of the people of my dis
trict.
Particularly" Mr.. Whitmire
emphasized, would / see to it
that no such situation would oc-
cur as now exists at Hiawassee
dam, where around 1900 men are
employed, and nearly all of them
are Tennesseeans.
"There are hundreds OF men
walking the streets and the roads
in the eleventh district of North
Carolina, looking for an honest

SAYS GERMANS
SOLIDLY BACK
DER FUEHRER|
F. A. Ewbank, Jr., Finds
Nazis Are Friendly To
Other Nations
FINISHES WORK AT
FRIEBURG UNIVERSITY

The German people are solidly
behind Adolf Hitler and the Nail
administration, according to Frank
A. Ewbank, Jr., son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank A. Ewbank, who has
recently returned to his home at
ter about nine months at the Uni
versity of Freiburg.
Any opposition to Der Fuehrer
on the part Of Germans has dis
appeared under the continuous
hammering of controlled propa-
ganda, and 80 great is the con-
fidence of the Germans in Hitler
that they believe he will be able
to accomplish his program OF
bringing all Germans under the
Reich without precipitating a Eu-
war, Mr.. Ewbank says.
The picture drawn of the Ger
man nation by the Hendersonville
student, who graduated from the
University of North Carolina last
June, is that of nation thorough
ly organized down to mere chill
dren, whose very thoughts are
controlled by the government, OF
a nation where unemployment is
practically nonresident through
the socialization of labor, where
agricultural and industrial pro-
grams are under government con-
troll, but withal where the people
seem to be happy and satisfied
with the existing order. These are
the impressions gathered by Mr..
Ewbank during his stay in Ger
many as student.
PROPAGANDA SEEN AS
HIGHLY EFFECTIVE
Mr.. Ewbank believes that the
greatest single factor in the soil
difying Of the German people back
of Hitler and his program is con-
trolled propaganda, under the di-
rection of DR.. Joseph Geobbeis,
the third ranking Nazi In Ger
many, and believed by Mr.. Ew-

Reports were circulated here to-
day that Great Britain and France

Experimentation in the Chinese
Japanese war.
Is intervention would be designed
to forestall the impending Japa-
nese drive on Hankow and end
the undeclared conflict on a basis
which would preserve the integ-
rity Of the present Chinese Popu-
lar Front government headed by
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek.
The reports, could not be. con-
fifmed but many observers were
inclined to believe they had q
basis of truth and that an action
similar to the famous triple inter-
vention by, Russia, France and
Germany, following Japan's VIC
tory in the Chinese-Japanese war
of 1896, was impending. This in
tervention forced Japan out of
South Manchuria and was a cause
of the Russo-Japanese war of
1905. Object of the present move
would be to force Japan out of
the Yangtse valley and limit her
victory to North China.
The British ambassador. Sir
Archibald Kerr, has been in inter-
mittent- conference with French
and American officials since Tues
day. A meeting was held Friday
ssettat. lasting two hours, after
which a second conference was
held between the British, French
and American 'conuls general.
Ostensibly, persons close to the
conferees said, the meetings were
held merely to discuss coopera-
ton between the powers for pres
ervation of the principles of the
"open door" and equal opportun-
'ity for all nations in event Japan
consolidates her control of the
Yangtse valley by taking the Han
kow area-the military heart of
China.
In reality, it was said, the Brit
ish have in mind vigorous inter-
vention although they have little
hope that Washington will agree
to join with London and Paris in
any program of joint action. 1t
was said. the British would be sat
isfied if the United States would
agree to follow a program gen
orally parallel to that of London
and Paris.
