heads of the country's rival labor

France Abandons
loya|ists, Urging
That They Give Up
Joins Britain in Making
Supreme Effort to Bring
Peace to Spain
By the Associated Press.


PARIS, Feb. 25.-France and
Britain were making a supreme
effort today to restore peace to
Spain and clear the way for their
formal recognition on Monday of
the Spanish nationalist regime.
Premier Daladier, who informed
the French Chamber of Deputies
yesterday of his intention to recog-
nize Nationalist Generalissimo
Franco and won a vote of conf
dence on that proposal, notified the
republican government that France
was abandoning it.
Diplomatic sources said the
French government, in this final
message to Madrid, urged the gov
ernment of Premier Juan Negrin to
give up its losing" battle.
French press reports from Bur-
gos said French and Spanish rep
resentatives. Senator Leon Berard
and Foreign Minister Count Fran
cisco Gomez Jordana. had signed
three accords concluding negotia-
tions preparatory to French recog-
milton of the Nationalists.
The exact nature of the three doc
uments was not made known. but it
was said they dealt with problems
on which recognition hinged.
Quick Collapse Expected.
Well-informed diplomatic quar-
ters expected quick government COL
lapse. Their belief apparently was
based in part on reports that Gen.
Jose Miaja. commander -in-chief in
Government Spain, had requested a
French visa. Advices from Madrid
said Gen. Miaja had given up his
dominant role in the defense forces
and possibly had been superseded as
commander.
Reports that plans already were
drawn for general exodus of
Spain's civil and military leaders
could not be verified but they cir
cu1ated in high political quarters.
A truckload of secret documents
was whisked away from the Spanish
embassy here for an undisclosed
destination, and attaches confirmed
that Manuel Azana, Government
SPANS self-exiled President, and the
Ambassador to France, Marcelino
Pascue, were arranging to quit the
building.

Many friends of William j.
Sears in Key West have been
actively campaigning in his be-
half during the last week and
the outlook is that he will defeat
his. two opponents by pre-
ponderating majority. His friends
are determined to give him as
large a vote as possible.
On several streets in the city
residents are busy having their
yards cleaned and gotten in
readiness for the coming sea-
son. Other residents should take
similar action because Key West
ers usually keep premises in ex-
cellent condition and now is the
time to act.

has the right to be indignant

paying their bills to The Citizen.

in inventories occasioned by the
war has not as yet been met by
a comparable increase in con-
sumner purchasing. And it seems
improbable that foreign demand,
at least in the more or less visible
future, will be adequate to alb
sorb the supplies-all Europe is
short of cash, and her nations
will use their own resources to
the utmost before spending any
Of their slender gold boards. AS
a result, it is to the domestic
market that we must principally
look for a rise in demand that
will justify the rise in production.
That the country is all set to
go ahead is obvious from even
cursory glance at the basic sta
tistics. Business Week, for in-
stance, thinks that without being
over-sanguine, it is reasonable to
anticipate push upward that
will bring us ahead OF 1929 eco
nomically. AS evidence, the maya
zine points out that bank depos-
its are at their all-time high and
that excess reserves of banks are
also at record high levels. The
cash is on hand when our people
are ready to use it.
All the temporary influences
seem to be for the better. At the
same time, it pays to be cautious
time and again in the last ten
years we have seen the stage set
for recovery, only to have a new
recession take hold and shat
ter our hopes. If another break
comes soon and the Indicators
reverse their upward course,
about every expert in the coun-
try will have to go into hiding.
They are practically all bullish
today.
