STIFF'ENING OF DEFENSES
GIVES BARCELONA HEART

Barcelona SPAN, Jan. 1S-(AP)-
Stiffening of government defense
lines gave Barcelona new heart and
made it a bustling city of wartime
business today in the face of the
gravest insurgent threat to govern
ment Spain since the civil war started
exactly two and half years ago.
The poorly-masked worry which
gripped the government capital when
i1surgent armies drove within 35
miles of Barcelona disappeared to-
day. The greyish morning sunlight
found the street full of hurrying
crowds and noisy truck traffic.

wore themselves out whistling and
waving at the heavy vehicles rush
ing through the streets with war sup
plies. Nowhere was there a sign of
fright or panic.
In the north the government said
the rough terrain would make going
hard for the insurgents. There was
plenty of fighting in that section, with
aviation being used plentifully.

100000 by the State, instead of the
$4,000 proposed in the original bill,
and per mits acceptance of Federal
funds to match.
III the history sent out by the
Brunswick senator, it is related how
the first nautical schools were author
izeT ny Congress in 1874-this act au-
thorizing the secretary of the navy
to furnish a vessel of the Navy ''for in
struction of youths in navigation
seamanship, marine engineering and
all matter pertaining to the proper
construction of, equipment and sail
ing of vessels" and further author
izing the President to detail a navy
officer for duty as instructors at
such schools.
AS now in effect, the Federal law
authorizes ALLEGATION of $25O,00O an
nually to nautical schools, and it is
this feature which particularly ap-
peals to Senator Frink.
He points out that under the 1911
Federal act, four schools have been
and still are operating-in New York,
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Cal
ifornia.
"There is no record Of any State
nautical school having failed or shut
down for lack of public interest or stu
dents seeking admission," the sena-
tor wrote.

Mr.. Mclean has had not only a
quarter of a century newspa aper ex-
perience to guide him, but the tradi-
tions of a journalistic family. He is
the Oldest son of the late William L.
Mclean, publisher of The Philadel-
phia Evening" Bulletin from 1895 un-
til his death in 1881; his uncle, Robert

But nothing IS more unpopular
than higher taxes.
It is a wonder to me that a politi-
clan like Young Bob" LaFollette has
the nerve to plug. for such program.

it. In fact, it's evident that the La
Toilette regime 4 in Wisconsin has
been weakened by such an advocacy,

More Wealth to Tax?
President Roosevelts proposition is
that we do not need higher taxation
If we have more wealth to tax.
In other words, assume that an in
dlvidual has $1,000 worth of taxable
property at a 10 percent rate; he is
stuck for $780,
But assume that his country's pros
perity is such as to give him So coo
worth of taxable property still at 10
percent The government gets $500 at
no increased burden on the tax-payee
The fractions are immaterial, so
long as they are proportionate.
The administration takes it for
granted that it's reckoning will be
roughly correct.
But will it prove to be so?
That is what Congress 1895 percent
of Republican members and about 50
percent of Dcmocrats) is worrying
about. nS#
The Republicans are hopeful that
the President is not correct and the
Democrats (apprpximately half of
