Duce's Paper Prints
Report Of Plans
For Conference
BACKGROUND

Gen, Francisco Franco estab-
hshed his oWn military gouern-
ment for inSurgent Spain early
IN the repolt against the lettist
MADRID government. This regime
has tunctioned at Burgos, in
Surgent headquarters. Moue for
more permanent regime dictated
by approach OF end OF Spanish
1oars as consequence of the fall
OF Barcelona and conquest of
Catalonia. Latest Loyalist peace
offer lists only pledge against
Tepr,Sals as condition for sur
render
BY the Asscciated Press.
ROME, Feb 20-Prospects that
Spanish Nationalist Generalissimo
Franco may confer in some Italian
city with Premier Mussolini and
Chancellor Hitler were given sub
stance today with indications that
II Duce was willing to participate.
Mussolini's Milan newspaper, II
Popolo d1talia, published reports
from Paris OF such intentions under
the headline Three Great Heads to
Convene?" And other newspapers
reprinted the item, attributing it to
II Popolo d'Italia.
Publication of the report in his
own newspaper was regarded by
Italians as an indication that
Mussolini, who keeps in touch with
the editorial desk, wished the pro-
posals for such a meeting to become
known without committing himself.
1t was suggested in political circles
that the conference might come
after Madrid falls to Gen. Franco.
Italians expect this to happen early
in March.
The newspaper II Messaggero yes
terday published a dispatch from
Paris saying that reports from
Berlin, among other sources, de-
clared meeting OF Gen. Franco,
Hitler and Mussolini was imminent.
Nationalist officials in Burgos said
they had not been advised of any
move by Gen. Franco toward such
a conference. In Berlin official
quarters said the conference report
was completely unfounded."

Pressure From Below
Cleveland Plain Dea1er)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 II the wishes of the rank and file of labor were to be needed the conferences which have begun between leaders of the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations would reach speedy and peaceful conclusion. The general public unquestionably shares this desire of the unions membership
 There was a hearty public response fortnight ago when President Roosevelt in his letters to John L. Lewis and William Green, asked for another effort to end the rift in the ranks organized labor
 In the light of the unsatisfactory results of the last conference held in December 1937 it would seem hazardous to predict that the peace which could not be achieved then be accomplished now Since the 1887 conference the CIO has organized on permanent basis as congress" instead of a committee" Efforts of both union groups to in- wade each others fields have added the bitterness which was strong enough at the time of the original split.
 But against these facts which would seem to present stronger obstacles to peace today than at any other time since 1885, must be reckoned the vigorous demand of the workers reflecting growing dissatisfaction with respective leadershps which put personal prejudices ahead of the common interests of labor as whole As Louis Stark, veteran labor reporter, observes: "The chief antagonists in the intense factional struggle to be found mainly among officers at the top of the hierarchy. Many of the leaders below them fear for abors future if peace is not brought about
 It is an old device of high-placed labor leaders to blame pressure from below" when it becomes necessary to abandon a position which has become untenable In this instance the pressure from below" is no fiction invented for face-saving pur- mand of the men and women who are the strength of American unionsm. It will be needed if the men at the top are wisely alert to the long-range interests of labors cause

The Wrong Approach
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 Disarmament has been attempted repeatedly in the postwar period. The United States has done it's full share to advance that objective The effort has failed ignominiously. It would be foolish for this country to take the lead in another limi tation effort unless conditions have become more favorable than they eight years ago. when the last serious disarmament efforts were made There is no sign that such improvement has come about The contrary is surely true
 Senator William H. King of Utah represents the aspirations of Americans and virtually all other peoples in proposing new disarmament conference on the initiative of the United States. But it is idle to call such barley simply because the world is spending S20000,0o0,00O a year for arms. Any constructive venture must take notice of the causes of rearmament and seek to deal with those causes.
 There are two prime motives for the armament race One is the desire of some powers to expand terrltoilaly and economically The other is the fear which many powers share chiefly fear of aggres- sion by the nations intent expansion. Some plan of collective security might meet this dilemma Mere disarmament proposals will not
 If the American people want to make a genuine contribution to world stability and to armament re- auction, they can assume responsibility world politics and seek to lay the foundations for a new system of collective security That will entail some obligations and risks If they are not prepared for that they will be wise not to call a disarmament conference bound to end in failure

Big Hague and Little Hague
Philadelphia Record)

Philadelphia Record
 The State Senate of New Jersey proved there was no particular for its existence by refusing an open investigation of the appointment of Franz Hague Jr, to the Court of Errors and Appeals.
 The Senate then went confirm the crown Irinces appointment at secret session.
 The secret session is an appropriate method of pproaching the work done It is entirely under tandable that many Senators would wish to keep the ublic uninformed to how they voted on this par scular issue
 Seven Republicans, as well as all the Democrats voted for confirmation, thus emphasizing again the bipartisan nature of Hagues power The Jersey City dictator lined up the vote of Republican who supposedly is a member of the anti-Hague reform faction.
 To the six Republicans who had the courage to hold out and vote against the confirmation of a 34- yearod lawyer known only because of his relationship with Hague, Sr, extend congratulations
 If strong Republican party is ever to be built n New Jersey the job will De done by genuine Repub cans such as these six not by stooges of the Demo- cratic boss
 Every now and then campaign gets under way in Pennsylvania and other States to take the Judges cut of politics by providing for their appointment i- stead of election.
 The appointment system sometimes works well But at it's worst it is than the election method can ever possibly be-
 The New Jersey judiciary has been taken out of politics until the Courts are largely controlled by one political boss
 It lo uleSe Sttihe courts that must pass upon the honesty of elections; the legitimacy of politicians in- comes the constitutionality of oppressive laws and ordnances, and dozens of other activities centerng around the man to whom they owe their jobs
 Nobody would argue that young Hague could have been elected to New Jerseys highest Court Yet ap polntment by a Hague-controled Governor confir- nation by Hague rubber-stamp Senate puts young Hague on the highest Court in New Jersey for six year term
 When Big Hague says T am the law" Little Hague can answer from the bench:

 Adverse aspects rule strongly to- day, according to astrology. It is a most unlucky date for any impor- tant business or professional confer ence. No.risks should be taken. In the early morning the mind may be hospitable to destructive ideas Muddled thinking and weak effort are probable under this sway Quarrels and faultfinding may be prevalent. Over-sensitiveness due to egotism may be especially disturbing to many men and women. This is day when individualism may ex- press itself offensively
 Accidents will be numerous while this configuration continues. Avia- tion and travel by water seem to offer perils. Storms will impede travel in many parts of the United States.
 Spain is to present a serious prob lem to the United States. This will involve certain interests and preju-
  dices because of past traditions.

SAN 0UENTIN'S
POOR BOARDERS
(Salt Lake City Tribune)

ASdll l1dhG 1lly 1ilOuiS1
Hundreds of hungry hostages are said
TO be bowling against hash in San Quen-
tin. According to Warden Court Smith,
400 of the total population of Califor-
MAS most exclusive prison, numbering
$780, have complained of the cuisine and
refused to sit at tables on which hash Is
served. Shouting, I'VE are sick and tired
of corn beef hash and want more Varie-
ty in our meals, the stand-up strike has
put an accommodating warden to figur-
ing out more diversified menus for the
five regiments of men under his COM
mand.
All over the earth as more and more
homeless men, women and children suf-
fer from exposure and starvation, felons
are becoming increasingly fastidious and
exacting in their tastes and preferences.
This may be due to the interest and in
spiration of prison reformers, or to GU
mulatiVe petuance under the monotony
of confinement, or to the general unrest
which affects the entire world regard
less of race, creed or condition.
Surely it cannot be attributed to actual
guStatory reVulsion at an offering of
that savory mixture of SalubriouS, nutri-
tious, succulent and redolent ingredients
known from time immemorial as ''hash".
That would be incredible. No boarding
house is worthy of its designation with
out a steaming dish of assorted calories
and vitamins, the essence of meat and
vegetables, served at least twice a week,
not only as a rare treat, but as gentle
rebuke to WaSterS.
Hash is not to be confused with hash
ish which the hunger strikers of San
Quentin would probably be willing to ac-
cept as substitute. However, that might
not restore order nor insure silence in
the bastile on the bay. Some people are
hard to please or placate

THE LESSON IN SPAIN

(Oroville Mercury-Register)
Spain today is an example of what
modern warfare does to country and
its people. The nationalists have won
the war after two years but at what
a price.
Let's wave aside the matter of heavy
debts that must be paid also the destruc-
ton to cities and countryside
What is really important to Spain
now and for years to come is what the
war has done to her people-the men,
women and children. 1t is the people
who pay the price-they pay in priva-
ton, disease and hardships.
million lives were lost but there are
thousands who have been forced into liv-
ing deaths. Weak from malnutrition.
these people will fall victim to any cpl
demlc that starts and more lives will go.
There are thousands of cases of tubercu
losls and other diseases of privation.
Thus will Spain's economic structure
be affected through its inhabitants for
many years to come. To be vital. a conn
try must have strong people.

Most of the weight of argument would

An army inspector who saw the 3OOO-

but highly efficient job of plow-pulling

tor didn't like the idea of army trucks
