was ready to surrender, but not
Premier Juan Negrin. His terms:
"a elimination of foreigners from
Spain; (2) plebiscite by the Span
ish people to decide their future
form of government; (3) no repris-
ais on either side. Those terms
having apparently been rejected by
the Insurgents, Premier Negrin pre-
pared to fight to the finish in the
large southeastern section of Spain
his government still holds.
Anglo-French concern over the
Spanish war may be expected to
grow daily until that conflict is end
ed. AS last chance for peace with
security, London and Paris jumped
on the bandwagon for Negrin's plan,
realizing these terms held scant
promise that Spain might emerge
from the war as sympathetic ma
ton, rather than as tool for Italy
and Germany.
But it would obviously be fool
hardy for the Fascist governments
to accept peace with partial victory
when full victory is so near. That
accomplished, France will have to-
talitarian neighbors on three sides
(Spain, Italy, Germany and will
be ripe for plucking by Mussolini.
1t is significant that Italian terri
torial claims against France are
being held up until the war is over.
But the approach of this French
italian struggle draws Paris closer
to Britain each day. Before the
house of commons, British Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain has
promised full military support in
case France is involved in war.
AviatiOn
U. S. and British airliners have
been hopping the Atlantic in test
flights for two years, planning to
start London-New York service si-
multaneously next summer. Last
fall a reciprocal agreement was
signed but the English, piqued be-
cause the U. S. refused to let I'M
perial airways ships land at Homo
lulu, shrank back in a pout. Anx-
ious to start transatlantic service
this year regardless of the British
attitude, the U. S. opened negotia-
tons with Paris and Immediately
arranged Paris-New York flights via
the long Azores route. Meanwhile
the British announced they would
inaugurate independent service
next June.
But the Americans showed them
selves better diplomatic pilots than

London be left off U. S. transat-

ment has waived the treaty provi-
sion calling for a simultaneous
start by U. S. and British planes.
This clears the way for Pan-Ameri-

Par,-Anlerica

German trade with Brazil grew
by leaps and bounds last year
thanks to the barter system, ie.,
German purchases were paid for
with "askimarks," which could be
redeemed only by taking German
goods in return. An upshot of De-
cember's Pan-American conference
was the realization that something
must be done to safeguard U. S.
trade with Brazil, crowded into Sec
ond place by the aggressive Reich
in 1888. Just arrived in Washington
is DR.. Oswaldo Aranha, Brazilian
foreign minister, for conversations
expected to have four significant re-
suits: (1) U. S. financial assistance
to Brazil via congressional loan,
credits to American merchants or
sterilization of Brazilian currency;
(2) redivision of the world cotton
market; (3) increase of U. S. sales
to Brazil; (4) examination of mutu-
al defense problems.

Balkans

ASSsesesSsso
On January Is Hungary Joined
the German-Italo-Jap anti-Commit-
ern pact, undoubtedly the willing
victim of Rome-Berlin pressure.
Russia's unexpected retaliation was
a virtual break-off in diplomatic re-
lations with Hungary on the excuse
that Budapest is now under for
eign thumb and has ''lost its indie
pendence to a considerable de-
gree"
BY far the smallest significance
of this step is that Russia again
shows an interest in world affairs,
breaking the painful silence that
has kept Europe guessing since the
Soviet was ignored at Munich last
September. More important is the
warning that Moscow will take SIM
liar action against any other nation
joining the ti-Commitern pact.
Observers now wonder if the slur
concerning Hungary's lost "inde-
pendence" may not revive anti-Nazl
sentiment in that nation and
throughout the Balkans. Within a
week after the Soviet's action three
favorable signs could be seen:
Martial Law. Following explosion
of a bomb in Budapest's largest
Jewish synagogue, the nation went
under military law and two inauen-
tial Nazi newspapers were suspend
ed.
Pan-BaIkan. Rumania and Jugo-
Slavia have signed an agreement to
(1) defend their present borders;
(2) adopt a "concihatory attitude"
toward all Balkan countries, and (3)
improve relations with Hungary and
Bulgaria, chief Nazi conformists in
the Balkan area.
New Premier. At Belgrade Jugo-
slavia's pro-Nazi Premier Milan
Stoyadinovitch resigned under pres
sure concerning the Croatian auton-
omy move, being succeeded by 46-
year-old Dragisha Tsvetkovitch, la
Dor leader and strong foe of die
tatorships.
Asia
Manchukuo's Siberian border has
seen repeated Russian-Jap clashes
during the past five years, but not
until last summer was this hoStil-
ity publicized. At that time several
heated skirmishes took place over
Changkugeng hill (see map, now
pock-marked and silent. Later, in
December, Tokyo and Moscow had
words over Siberian fishing waters,
which Japan intends to exploit de-
spite Soviet objections. In January
several high Tokyo officials solemn
ly told their people to prepare for
war-not only continuation Of the
wearying Sino-Jap conflict but for
war with Russia.
What may be the touch-off signal
for this war has been reported from
Mengoskili, a good 300 miles north
west of Changkufeng. There, in
four days of almost continuous fight
ing, Japs claimed they threw back
Russian assaults" While the So
Wet maintains it's traditional silence

TRAFFIC CHANGES
 MAY BE PROTESTED
CIO Leader Alleges New Regulations Smack of
 Class Legislation

When the police board meets this afternoon to vote on new traffic reg ulations for the city, 1t will be con- fronted by William 0. Feltman, pres- ident of the Brass Workers Union who will deliver protest in the name of his organization, John J Driscoll, executive-secretary of the Union said today.
 MT. F'eltman will tell the board that the ban on night parking smacks of pure class legislation, will penalize large number of people who cannot afford garages, and will stimulate Q tremendous volume of protests.
 The Union official will suggest that a public hearing on matter which affects so many people, would be the fairest way to settle 1t, giving the people @ chance to present argu- ments pro and con.
 Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor said today he has not seen the proposed traffic changes since they were in their tentative stages, and he suggested to Comsr. Henry Minor that he get a chance to study them before they are passed.
 Traffic authorities have steadfast- ly refused to release the proposed regulations for publication until they are passed sby the board. The authorities said the regulations were not in complete form for newspaper publication.
 The board will meet this after noon at 5 o'clock. following a session Monday night at which the traffie committee of the commission, police officials, and ron-traffic committed board members. No one expressed opposition to the all night parking ban, which, as now proposed, woult prohibit parking on all Waterbury streets from the hours of 3 to @. m.
 The board will also vote on addi. tional one-way streets, straight traf. fic through Exchange Place, ant daytime parking restrictions.

MAYOR TO VETO PAY ORDINANCE
Board of Aldermen At- tempt to Regulate Sal.
 aries to Be Nullified

Mayor Frank Hayes told the Den- ocrat today he would veto this aft- ernoon the salary ordinance passed by the board of aldermen last week.
 Under the ordinance passed last week payment of salaries must be pro-rated, week by week, in order that the appropriation for the specific purpose will not be ex- hausted by the end of the year.
 Mayor Hayes told the Democrat he would veto the ordinance on the grounds that it would interfere with the efficiency of the city govern- ment, would prevent provisions for emergencies, is purely political In nature, and unworkable. AS all ex- ample of its unworkable nature, the mayor said that in case of a severe storm extra men could not be hired by the street department.
 Some time before the ordinance was passed the controller pointed out that the continued payment of certain salaries would exhaust the appropriation for that purpose be. fore the end of the year and held that such payments were illegal.
 The board of aldermen passed the ordinance without debate.
 Mayor Hayes also said today he would take no action on the plan of the board of aldermen to sell the American Ring property. He said 1t is up to the board of aldermen to take such action.
