LONDON, Aug. 3-Members OF
the Irish Republican Army assert
that major part of their funds
for the support of their organiza-
ton were raised in the United
States.
At the same time IRA officials
denied charges that they had re-
ceived money from Germany.
Home Secretary Sir Samue
Hoare has signed a group of de-
portation orders against a dozer
more Irish terrorist suspects.
Meanwhile police continued theii
roundup and made arrangements
to ship those already ordered de-

IRA spokesman were quoted as
saying that the Terrorist campaign
against the British government was
costing $4,000 a week. 1t was de-
MED that any of the agents oper-
ating in England were paid for
their activities.

Willing 10 Become Candi-

Senator Says

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Senator
Robert A. Taft of Ohio today ex-
pressed his willingness to become a
candidate for the Republican Presi-
dental nomination.
The son of the former President
and Chief Justice stated his posi-
ton in a letter to George Eyrich,
Chairman of the County Republican
Executive Committee in Cincinnati
which endorsed him for the Presi-
dental nomination.
I'll be willing when the time
comes to give my consent to have
my name designated as first choice
by candidates for delegates through
out the State" Taft said.
wouldn't Run Away
He told Eyrich his work as Sen
ator was extremely interesting and
that he preferred it to any other
job, but that he wouldn't run away
from harder job.
Unless the whole present tend
ency of government is redirected we
cannot maintain financial solvency
or free enterprise or even individual
liberty in the United States" he
declared.
Leaders of the movement against
New Deal fallacies must have cour-
age to incur unlimited displeasure
of every vested interest whose selfish
purposes conflict with radical pol
icy of reform"

Japan Now
Suspicious,
e
Britain, US.
Tokyo Believes Two Ma
tions Cooperating
Against Nippon

TOKYO, Aug 3.-There is a grow
ing conviction in Japanese Army
circles that Great Britain and the
United States are cooperating to
hinder Japan's Far Eastern policies
and this has added an impetus to
efforts for an outright military al
lance with the Rome Berlin exis.
1t is learned authoritatively that
a conference of the five key min
listers of the Japanese Cabinet was
held last night and this big five has
summoned high army officers, some
of them members of the Japanese
General Staff. to a conference to be
held sometime today.
Informed quarters assert that the
United States abrogation of the
trade treaty with Japan has given
the army ultra nationalistic circles
fresh ammunition for their cam
paign.
Just how the Rome-Berlin axis
would aid Japan, if there is a con-
flict with the two largest OF world
powers, is not stated.

Committee Will Sail from

Places VIII ere Hearings

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-Chair-
man Schuyler Otis Bland, of the
House Merchant Marine and Fish
cries Committee, said a seven-man
subcommittee will sail August 20
from Seattle on a six weeks inves-
tigation of the Alaska fisheries.
The investigation was ordere d
when the House unanimously ap-
proved of the resolution introduced
by Alaska Delegate Anthony j. Di-
mond
The resolution instructed that an
investigation be conducted of all
questions pertinent to the conserva-
ton of the Alaska fisheries and in
cluded is the offshore fishing con-
Quoted by aliens.
Chairman Bland said today that
it has not been determined which
of the committee members will
make the trip.
1t is expected that hearings will
be conducted at Ketchikan, Craig,
Wrangell, Petersburg, Sitka, Cor
dova, Anchorage and Kodiak.
Becauseeof the lateness of the sea-
son it does not appear like that
the committee will conduct hearings
in the Bristol Bay area, although
there is a possibility that some of
the members of the investigators
may fly in and take testimony there.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The
House coalition of Republicans
and Democrats this afternoon
killed the Presidents $800,000,-
900 Housing bill for this session.
This latest rebuff to the Adj
ministration topped off last
Tuesdays stunning defeat of the
Lending Bill.
Today, as last Tuesday, the
House refused even to consider
the legislation.
The vote was 80 to 40.
The using bills defeat
cleared away one more barrier
to adjournment, but the Senate

CRISIS In
POLAND IS
NOW NEAR
Impending Shove down
Over Ddnzig May DeyeI-
CD Within Few Weeks

WARSAW, Aug. 3.-There is a
growing belief in Polish political
circles that the impending show
down over Danzig will develop
within the next few weeks.
Polish government officials see
numerous signs in the new direc-
ton which Nazi agitation has sud-
denly taken In the Free City.
The new campaign is based upon
a demand for closer economic re-
lations between Danzig and tho
Reich. The Danzig Nazis seized
upon the action of the Polish gov
eminent in restricting importations
of margarine and herring from the
Free City to launch their demand
for economic union with Germany.
The Nazis already are talking OF
a customs union between Danzig
and Germany and the eventual
supplanting of Danzig money with
German currency, This move
would have the effect of abolish
ing Polish customs and trade agree
ments in the Free City.
1t is asserted in Polish govern
ment circles that any attempt TO
GUST Polish interests from Dam
zig by establishing economic ties
with Germany will bring the Dam
zig crises to an issue.
Polish spokesman said that the
Warsaw government will take en-
ergetic action to prevent any such
unilateral move on the part Of
the Danzig Nazis.
Polish observers pointed out that
within the past week or so Ger
many will have completed getting
two million men under arms osten-
sibly for summer maneuvers.
German air maneuvers are sched-
uled to be held in the northwest
ern part of the Reich which would
be the region from which Nazi

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. - The
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion has temporarily upset German
government officials efforts to
float $70,000,000 bond issue in
the United States. They blocked
the bond issue on the grounds that
the Nazi government had failed to
reveal facts concerning its official
government budget, public debt and
other important financial data.
The commission will hold hear
ings on August Is to give Germany
final chance to supply the in

Air Routes 10 Link United

with Alaska
DOMINION OFFICIALS
MEET WITH AMERICANS
Prospective Improvements
Are 10 Be Studied
al Ottawa

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. - Air
routes linking the United States,
Canada and Alaska and improving
American defenses in the direction
of the Pacific will be outlined at
Canadian American conference In
Ottawa next Wednesday.
The United States is sending three
officials from the State Department
and four from the Civil Aeronautics
Authority to the Ottawa confer
ence.
Proposals TO Be Studied
Outstanding among the plans to
be considered is the possible insti-
tuition of a plane service between
the United States and Alaska with
or without stops in Canada.
Three routes are contemplated
one following the coast from Seat
tie. one partly over water and partly
over land, and one from Great
Falls, Montana, over Canada.
For National Defense
Officials view such prospective
improvements in air transportation
as contributing to the national de-
Tense and in the background is the
possibility of instituting an air serv-
ice eventually between Great Bril-
tain and the United States, through
Siberia, Alaska and Canada.
Rumors are also that Great Bri-
tain may seek an air service to the
United States through Scandinav-
ian countries and over the polar re-
gions to Alaska.

Davies Fights Arms Embargo
With a Chalk Talk on Europe
BY PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Aug. "a few
hours after Senate big sticks had
persuaded the President that he
could not have the arms embargo
act repealed this session, Ambassa-
dor Joe Davies spread out a map
of Europe before several Senators
and gave them the filters.
In his way the Ambassador is
something of dramatist. From his
listening post in Belgium he had
gathered much information in re
troop concentrations. He placed it
imposingly on the map.
Senator Key Pittman, chairman
of the Foreign Relations Committee,
was present and so were such Sen
ators as Harrison of Mississippi
and Tydings of Maryland, VIII 0
married the daughter of Davies
present wife.
The Ambassadors well-groomed
hand pointed to couple of million
men under arms in Germany, a
smaller number in France. several
hundred thousand in Poland, a
million or more in Italy, others in
England, Africa, Russia The AM
bassador added enough data of his
own to give the figures real color.
A lively narrator can put guns
across the shoulders of a string of
numbers, dress them in fighting
pants and set them marching.
This was merely one of tn e
shows being staged in Washington
to convince the gears in the gov
ernmental machinery that the sit
uation in Europe is critical.

ON THE CALENDAR?

The administration was badly
upset by the failure to get the
Senate to act on the repeal of the
arms embargo. Such figures as Bo-
rah of Idaho and Johnson of Ida
no, who had hand in stymying
| the repeater, think there is more
Administration yammering about
the danger of war and American
involvement than the situation de-
serves. But the comments of these
two are frail voices by comparison
with the babel of sound on the
other side of the issue.
Into that situation the Davies
display fits. The Administration
has given up plans to push the bill
this session, but Immediately after
the dramatic reversal at the mid
night White House conference a
quiet effort was started to get the
bill nominally on the Senate CAL
endar, even under a pledge not to
bring it up for debate.
The idea is that putting the bill
on the calendar will improve the

PARLIAMENT
TO ADJOURN
ON FRIDA Y
Critics Of Chamberlain Are
Answered by Vote
Of Confidence

LONDON, Aug. 3.-Prime Min
lister Chamberlains Conservative
majority rebuked his critics last
night by giving him vote of con-
fidence. His critics had demanded
that Parliament stay in session to
prevent second Munich. The vote
was on the governments motion
to- adjourn Parliament tomorrow
for the summer recess. The vote
was 246 to 129.
The Laborite opposition leader,
Arthur Greenwood, told Chamber
lain bluntly why the opposition
amendment had been offered. Said
Greenwood what guaranty have
we that when our backs are turned
the government will not throw in
its hand on the question of triple
alliance with Russia, How does the
opposition know that the negotia-
lions in the Far East are not going
to be another Munich?"
Churchill Chips In
The independent Conservative
Winston Churchill, joined in the
demand that Parliament stay on
the job during the so-called criti-
cal months of August and Sep
TENDER. Churchill declared that the
situation was much more acute
than a year ago. He said that Ger
many had huge forces massed
along the Polish border and was
making all preparations for a
swift advance.
Belief Expressed
Churchill told the House OF Com
mons in his statement that he be-
lieved in Mr.. Chamberlain's good
faith but not in his good judg-
ment.
Chamberlain stated that he be-
lieved that there was little likeli-
hood that any emergency would
arise in the near future.
