the United States coast guard cutter
Modoc from Wilmington, left Oak
Island this morning at $40 o'clock
to go to the aid of the British steam
ship Cumberland, aground on Flying

Coast guardsmen at the Oak Is

the exact location of the ship, though
it had been ascertained it was on
the shoals to the southeast of here.
They said the vessel should not be in
any great danger, as the weather
was mild.
They were unable, they said, to
account for the grounding of the
vessel, which was enroute from the

Cardinal Pignatelli is expected by
many to receive a courtesy vote

1t is generally considered he is un-
likely to be chosen Pope.
Those who know him believe that
If the choice were to fall on him
he would ask to be excused because
of age. He is 81.
Through the centuries of church
history many of those sought for

lege not to thrust the honor and
the enormous responsibility which
goes with 1t upon them.
At the last conclave, Camille
Cardinal laurent was reported to
have begged on his knees that he be
not selected as it appeared he might

majority vote.
In many cases such requests have

Despite their resolution to play
diplomatic Casabiancas, the officials
at the Embassy are all concerned
over the imminence of the gloomy
day when they will be men Of in
definite citizenry, as soon as the
fourth of Spain remaining Loyalist
falls to Gen. Franco They can re-

they wish. exiles protected forever

DR.. Lecuona Likes U. S.
"This is good place to stay" said
DR.. Lecuona. who arrived in the
United States only six months ago
cts wonderful to breathe such free
air."
Return to Spain for these diplo-
mats IS out Of the question. Gen,
Franco has been finding other Loyal
ist diplomats guilty of military in
slrrection" and sentencing them to
execution, DR.. Iecuona said. He
shrugs his shoulders about his own
future. He has no income except
from the government. He is a
career diplomat from the Basque
country, working for his living since
he was 49,
The Ambassador, an educator who
lectured at Columbia University,
New York City, before he became
diplomat, probably will teach in
this country. What Commercial
Secretary Garcia del Castillo will
do he does not know.
Only Juan Antonio Meana. Sec
ond Secretary, can look forward to
the severance of ties with his home
land with some small degree of
equanimity. Washington has been
his home Tor many years. He joined
the Embassy staff in 1896 out of
friendship for the Loyalist cause,
which had difficulty in finding men
to represent it abroad.
Blamed for Crisis.
DR.. Lecuona today attributed to
this crisis in diplomatic personnel
much of the Loyalist governments
difficult position in treating with
other governments. OF 43O men In
the Spanish foreign Offices career
service when the revolt broke out
only 46 remained loyal and held to
their pests.
This running away gave the i'm
mediate impression that the Repub-
lie was collapsing," DR.. Lecuona
said sharply. ITS no wonder many
governments viewed the loyalist
cause with disnay from the very be-
ginning. How the embassies and
legations emptied out. In Washing
ton, London, Berlin, Paris and Rome
the staff quit in bodies. Who are
the traitors?'
The problem of personnel gave
birth to secondary dilemma, in
that 1t necessitated stating en-
bassies and legations with unframed
diplomats often at a loss in the
difficult business Of treating with
governments. At the very time the
loyalist government needed skilled
men to present its story in the best
possible light to the worlds foreign
offices, it had to put its reliance on
the unskilled.

Azono Resigns
Spanish Presidency

COLLOGNES- SOUS -SALEVE.
France, Feb. % (P).-Manuel Azana,
in a letter made public today, re-
signed as President of the Spanish
Republican government.
The letter was addressed to Diego
Martinez Barrio, President of the
Republican Cortes (Parliament) and
Azana's constitutional successor.
Azana, who came here yesterday
from Paris, where he has lived
since Generalissimo Frances troops
cleaned up Catalonia, had withheld
publication Of his resignation until
after French-British recognition of
Frances regime as the legitimate
government of Spain.
The letter was sent to Paris by
special messenger yesterday-the
day on which France and Britain
ceased to regard the Republican re-
gime as Spain's real government.
Azana wrote out his own resigna-
ton on paper from a school note
book.
The original copy-that read to
neWspapermen by his brother-in-
law, Cipriano Rivas Cherif-showed
that his hand shook as he wrote the
first paragraphs.
About 40 newspapermen were re-
ceived by Rivas Cherif in the living
room of the ex-Presidents villa for
the announcement. When they left
the house later, Azana was seen
watching from q dining room
window.

for this is the success of last years

holding back their contributions"
A preliminary check-up OF pros

made at a meeting of team cap

the final luncheon report meeting.
Because of illness many workers
have been unable to cover all their

Palestine Conference
Is Kept Alive
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Feb. 28.-Colonial Sec
retary Malcolm Macdonald called
another informal meeting today be-
tween Jewish and British delegates
to the Palestine Conference In an
attempt to keep Arab-Jewish-Brit-
lsh negotiations alive.
Authoritative sources said the
Jews were steadfastly opposed to
a British plan, submitted over the
week end, to end Britains League
Of Nations mandate over the Holy
Land and create instead an Arab
state allied with Britain in which
Jews would have permanent minor
ity status.
Submission of the plan was fol-
lowed by an outburst of terrorism
In Palestine yesterday and Sunday
In which 80 persons were killed
and 81 injured.
AS cables from organizations in
the United States and other coun-
tries poured in, urging the Jewish
delegation to stand firm, Mr.. Mac
Donald emphasized that the Brit
ish plan was not rigid and might
be modified after further discus
Sions.
The Jews, however, saw little hope
OF finding basis for further official
talks. They had refused to continue
formal discussions, but assented to
informal talks.

Jews given only the status of a

however, that the scheme was
