would prohibit soliciting campaign
contributions from any one paid out
Of the relief appropriation The
third amendment is intended to
prevent administrative and super
visory officials of any agency paid
out of relief funds from using their
official authority to influence elec-
tions.
The Offering of these amendments
by Senator Hatch today virtually
assures opening up the issue of poll
tics in relief on the pending de-
flciency bill instead of later in the
session when the new relief program
Of the 1910 fiscal year is written.
Senator Hatch's amendments not
only cover the recommendations
made Saturday in the report OF the
Senate Unemployment Committee,
but go further. One of the amend
ments being proposed originally by
Senator Hatch reads as follows:
No Active Part in Campaigns.
1T shall be unlawful for any per-
son employed in any administrative
or supervisory capacity by any
agency of the Federal Government.
whose compensation or any part
thereof is paid from funds author
lied or appropriated by the Emer-
gency Relief Act of 1888 or this joint
resolution, to use his official author
ity or influence for the purpose of
interfering with an election, or af-
fecting the results thereof. All
such persons shall retain the right to
vote as they please and express pri-
vately their opinions on all political
subjects, but they shall take no ac-
tive part in political management
or in political campaigns"
The penalty for violation of this
amendment would be removal from
Office.
The penalty for violating the
amendment against soliciting CAM
paign funds from any one paid
from relief funds would be felony
carrying fine OF not more than
1000. or imprisonment for one
year, or both. The amendment
against offering rewards to or
threatening relief workers also
would carry the same felony pen
atty.
A bipartisan proposal to combine
all relief activities in a public works
department also figured in sena-
torial discussion of the bill.
The recommendation to consoli-
date relief agencies came during the
week end from the Senate Un-
employment Committee headed by
Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of South
Carolina. Republican committee
men, although agreeing with the
Democratic majority that a per-
manent public works department
would be advisable, declared the
majority did not 60 far enough
toward taking politics out of re-
lief.
The new department would in

G. G. c., and the National Youth
Administration. Unemployment reg
istration agencies would be merged,
and the present system of unem-
ployment compensation would be
simplined.
The committee suggested that un-
employment compensation range
from S. to SIS a week If at the
end Of 13 weeks the recipient had
not obtained a job in private in
dustry, he would be placed on q
public works project.
Two-thirds of the cost of these
projects would be paid by the Fed
eral Government, and the remainder
by the State or municipality con-
cerned. At present the latter pay
IS per cent of P. w. A. costs and
about % per cent of w. P. A. costs.
On Basis Of Population.
The committee proposed that total
Federal grants be allotted to States
on the basis Of population and un-
employment. States having per
capita income below the national
average could receive additional. aid
Senator Davis, Republican, of
Pennsylvania, committee member
disagreed with details Of this for
mula, declaring 1t did not consider
regional differences in living costs.
Senator Lodge, Republican, OF
Massachusetts,, also on the commit
tee, took exception to a recon-
mendation for larger Federal con-
tributions for the aged, the blind
and dependent children in States
having low per capita incomes. This
would be sectional and unfair
Senator Lodge said, asserting that
States with higher incomes would
be at disadvantage.

Chinese Restrict
Service Of Loans
Backed by Customs
Advances From Central

BY the Associated Press.
CHUNGKING. China, Jan. 10
The Chinese finance ministry an
nounced today that the practice Of
advancing funds from the Central
Bank Of China for servicing loans
secured by customs receipts would
be abandoned.
The inspector general of customs
was instructed henceforth to service
such loans as far as possible from
directly available customs revenue.
The action was announced as a
step to protect the interests of
friendly powers and foreign and Chi
nese bondholders from Japanese
seizure of customs funds in war zone
ports"
In effect, China thus throws a
share of the responsibility in the
matter of foreign bondholders onto
the japanese, while saving further
digging into its own foreign cur
rency reserves to compensate for
customs receipts that are being COL
lected and retained by the japanese.

League Is Told
b. the Associated Press,

~ SIV AccoSAA<0 1ACoos
GENEVA, Jan. 16.-French For
eign Minister Georges Bonnet told
the League of Nations Council today
that the complete evacuation Of
foreign volunteers from Spanish
government territory must be fol-
lowed by complete evacuation of
foreign fighters from insurgent
Spain.
M. Bonnet spoke Immediately
after the League committee sent to
Spain reported that it was morally
convinced" that all foreigners had
been withdrawn from the govern
ment front.
THAT is only half of our work"
he said.
Volunteers Must Go.
The committee report said evacu-
alton Of foreign volunteers now con-
centrated in camps behind the lines
was still to be completed. When
this is done, M. Bonnet declared, for
eign volunteers with Insurgent Gen.
eralissimo Franco must go.
Only then will this crisis be free
from dangers in which Spain is the
essential factor" he continued.
The committees report declared
that as of December IL it had count
ed 1858 foreigners which it believed
after a thorough investigation on all
fronts to be the total number in gov
ernment Spain.
All these, the report said, were
withdrawn from the front, ana 4,64O
had left Spain proper. Those who
left included 548 citizens of the
United States, 2,141 Frenchmen and
407 British.
Del Vayo Summoned.
As the question of withdrawal of
foreign volunteers was raised, Julio
Alvarez del Vayo, Spanish govern
ment foreign minister, was called
to the council table.
Earlier he had seized upon the
French-Italian quarrel over Africa
to warn France that an insurgent
victory In Spain might cost her
Tunisia.
The official italian Informazione
Diplomatica in Rome said that
Premier Mussolini would talk with
France only after the Spanish war
ended, and that gave Del Vayo his
fuel.
The white-haired Spaniard came
TO Geneva for the League of Nations
Council session, and arrived just as
Viscount Halifax and Georges Bon
net, the British and French foreign
ministers, finished long con-
conference.
Pleased With Assurances.
Their spokesmen were saying that
both were pleased with Mussolinis
assurances that he had no territorial
designs on Spain. Del Vayo, how
ever, argued that If the insurgents
won in Spain. Mussolinis bottom
price for a settlement with France
would rise far higher and might 60
as high as a demand for Tunisia, the
French African protectorate.
Mussolini, he warned the French
delegation, likely would leave his
troops in Spain under the pretense
Of keeping military order in con-
quered areas. Then, he predicted,
Mussolini could wave a potent diplo-
matic-military club over France.
Spain, he told the French, would
give Italy not only sea and air bases
to cut French empire lines in the
Mediterranean, but would place
Italy on the Atlantic side of Gibral-

Is Spurred in ItoIy

ROME, Jan. 16 (P).-Italy's anti
French campaign gained new i'm
petus today with newspaper threats
that Italians might avenge French
insults" with guns.
The press attacks came as Italy
made an insurgent victory in the
Spanish civil war the price for set
ting her quarrel with France over
colonial influence in the Mediter-
ranean.
Newspapers unanimously published
defiant protests against a state
ment attributed by the Paris news
paper L'Ordre to an anonymous

and the possible end of the Spanish
civil war.
The capture yesterday of Tara
gona, second city of Catalonia, put
insurgent advance guards within Sc
miles along the Mediterranean coast
from the government capital and
within 81 miles of Barcelona along
the interior front.
Reports reaching the frontier said
insurgent field commanders know
there is second government de-
tense line between Tarragona and
Barcelona, although they lack exact
Information about its precise loca-
ton and strength.
Withdrawal Announced.
The Barcelona administration in
dicated its confidence in the de-
fenses by announcing that its mill
tiamen had withdrawn from Tara
gona to prepared positions situated
east OF the Valls-Tarragona line"
Military observers calculated that
the line probably would be located
IN mountainous areas between Ven
drell and 1gualada.
The almost unhindered advance
OF General Frances columns into
ancient Tarragona followed three
days of consistent gains in the Cata-
lonian campaign that started De-
cember %.
1nsurgent reports said the main
attacking corps of Navarrese soldiers
fought its way through the govern
ment's rear guard to the gates of
the provincial capital. After reach
ing that position, the column swung
eastward to the Gaya River about
81 miles distance and then began
q slow march back west.
The shock troops were astonished,
these reports declared, when they
did not encounter any resistance and
were forced to concern themselves
principally in turning back a long
stream of refugees fleeing the sup
posed battle zone.

PLAN NATIONS
DEFENSE

Preparations have been made to put
America quickly on a complete war
footing in the event of the European
war spreading to American shores.
Plans of mobilization of industry and
labor as well as the military units are
deliberately checked for immediate ac-
ton should the zero hour arrive.
All these plans are conferred chiefly
on a basis of positive and strict neu-
trality. Everything has been done ac-
cording to present needs and in terms
of national defense. There is nothing
questionable that keen observers can
discover which would reveal conniv-
ance or double-dealing to involve
America in the European War.
The nation has made preparations
against a possible hostile invasion and
has assumed a definite alert attitude
to keep inviolate the Monroe Doctrine.
America is the guardian of the West
ern hemisphere.
