Carlists. In April Franco established
single party, and in october he announced
the establishment of Fascist Council in
an effort at coordination.
If Franco succeeds in driving the Loyalist
government out of Spain, he will be con-
fronted with the task of conciliating the
regions of Catalonia and the Basque prov
inces as we'll as of gaining the confidence
of the workers. Will he be able to accom-
plish this result through amnesty and So
cial reforms? Or will he feel obliged to
rule by the bayonet? If he choose the lat
ter course, he may need the indefinite
support Of the Moors, Germans and Ital-
ians. Meanwhile, there are reports that
Franco has clashed frequently with his
foreign rescuers. Only history will deter
mine whether Franco victory will mean
appeasement or whether 1t is the beginning
Of new internal cruelties and international
tensions.

Report Of Griffenhagen g. Associ-

deficit as 1888, 064.28 on May /, this
year, was presented TO the board OF
aldermen last night. This amount,
which since the date figured has
been cut by considerable sums re-
ceived by the surplus resource sink
ing fund and large amounts carved
from 1888 budget items by both
the audit firm and the board Of fl

represents the sum which must be

funds cited above, the surplus re-

monies Of this years appropria-

Comparisons
Evidence Of the city's improved
financial position was the compare
son between the original deficit Of
January /, and the May l, deficit,
$563,1l7 and $383, 064, respectively,
The sum Of $180,053.38 In receipt
to the surplus resource sinking fund
had been applied to the deficit.
Presently, the surplus resource
sinking fund counts receipts, to Sept.
1, Of 1921 900 In round figures and
the controller, on that date, esti-
mated the deficit as $124,000. Thus,
with the four months anticipated
revenue to the surplus resource

controllers estimated deficit, the
expectation Is that this aspect Of
balancing the budget will be accom-
plished.
