j. s. Cracks Down Upon
Wartime Profiteers

WASHINGTON, Sept. 7. CUP)-
Secretary of the Interior Harold
l.. Ickes said today the government
will oppose vigorously "a rape of
our natural resources" by wartime
profiteers.
Ickes statement came after Sec
retary of Agriculture Henry A.
Wallace reported there is no pros
pect for shortage of foodstuffs
and basic commodities as a result
of the war in Europe.
Wallace revealed that the agri-
culture department has received
several complaints charging unnam-
ed professors and distributors of
foodstuffs with spreading false ru-
mors of shortages in order to in
crease prices The complaints are
being investigated, he said
IckeS told his press conference:

for the present increase in COM

house that arrangements with
France for cooperating in the
prosecution of the war are work
ing smoothly and well" Britain's
war effort is rapidly gaining mo-
mentum," he said.
Any belief that Britain and
France might temporize with Adolf
Hitler and discuss general settle
ment after the Fuehrer has accom-
plished lightning conquest of Po-
land was dispelled by several fac
tors.
The Polish ambassador. Count
Edward RaszinSki, was understood
to have reported to his government
that the nine-man British war cab
met is unflinchingly determined to
smash HitleriSm. The report came
after Count Raszinski had talked
with Viscount Halifax, foreign sec
retary, and winston Churchill.
Another factor was the inclusion
in the cabinet of winston Church
i'll and Anthony Eden, sworn foes
)f Nazism.

PRIEST DEFENDS
FRANCO REGIME

Long haired male journalists
and short haired women have
spread a misconception about the
war in Spain, according to Rev.
J. a. Concannon. 81, of st. Leo's
Catholic church who addressed the
Tacoma Chamber Of Commerce
members forum Monday at the
Hotel Winthrop.
Rev. Concannon. who spent two
years in Spain before King Alton
SOS abdication eight years ago,
spoke in defense Of the Franco
regime and declared the conflict
at all times has been purely a
civil war.
Spain, said Rev. Concannon, was
a naturally fertile field for propa-
ganda by reason of its sharp differ
ences of both race and language
within small area. Basques in the
north and Galatians in the southeast
always having been at odds with
the Castilians of the central plain.
