Germany 10 Take Half
Spain s 0ranqe Exports

Germany has concluded an agree
ment with Spain for the purchase
of half the Spanish exportable sur
plus of oranges this year, the Agri-
culture Departments office of for
eign agricultural relations reported
today In its weekly publication,
Foreign Crops and Markets. The
deal is in the nature of a barter
agreement.
There are indications that the
government of Great Britain is ne
gotiating for the purchase of Span
ish fruit. The United Kingdom
was by far the most important pur-
chaser of Spanish oranges last year,
when Spanish orange exports, esti-
mated, amounted to $4,000 boxes
of 70 pounds each.
The German agreement provides
for the shipment of 7,873,000 boxes
of oranges and 1850 900 boxes of
mandarinS. Payment for the fruit
Is to be accepted by Spain in the
form of credits to be used later for
the purchase of German merchan-
disc.

cially a reconstruction of war
torn Europe.
For the moment Mr.. Roosevelt
states the proposition that America
must furnish material help-every-
thing except man power-to the
British, and he serves notice that
this is to be his policy henceforth
1t is a shrewd move for the Presi-
dent to outline his views in ad-
vance of the return of the Congress
so that public opinion may have a
chance to crystalline on the issues
he has outlined. For behind a
united public opinion new legisla-
ton or amendments to old statutes
become matter of routine.
In effect the President has de-
clared that his leadership means all
aid-whether 1t be termed neutral
or unneutral-to the cause of Brit
ain, and that any other course which
weakens or curtails that policy
might mean a second war for us
the moment the axis powers
emerged victorious from this one. He
admits the Nazis may win, but ex-
presses his confidence that they
will not. In the meantime he in
sists America must do all in hel
power to prevent the Nazis from
winning. On that issue the White
House is confident Of an overwhelm-
ing support from the people. 1t il

Halifax Misunderstood
Britoin's New Envoy to U. S. DecIqred
Never q Member of Munich 'Appsosers'

mingham that "appeasement" had
gone forever, that assistance would
be lent to any nation determined to
fight the German claim for hege-
mony. 1t is not generally known
that, until the eleventh hour, the
prime minister was reluctant to
take that step. But for Lord Hall
fax, the Birmingham speech would
have struck indeed q rnilder note.
The initial draft, as prepared by
Mr.. Chamberlain, was by no means
uncompromising 1t was Lord Hal
flax who demonstrated with the
head OF the government and told
him right away that Adolf Hitler
was not to be spared any longer;
the draft was altered accordingly.
Had Mr.. Chamberlain stuck to his
own line, q Halifax administration
might well have been the outcome
Last year Edouard Daladier, the
French president Of the council, In
q talk with Winston Churchill, re-
ferring to past negotiations, men,
toned the Chamberlain Halifax
policy" Mr.. Churchill swiftly re-
torted: "You are thoroughly mis-
taken. Halifax and myself, We have
seen eye to eye about the position
in Europe for a long while"
Deep Religious Feeling.
Here is the explanation OF the
misunderstanding which often creeps
in concerning Lord Halifax.
Perhaps the most striking fea-
ture of his personality is a deep
religious feeling. His father, who
died at nearly the age of 100, was
the undisputed leader of the high
churchmen currently described as
Anglo closely connected
with Cardinal Mercier the Belgian
primate, who left him his pastoral
ring as a legacy and in his letters
often referred to ''Edward"-the
present Ambassador of the Court OF
st. James to the United States.
Lord Halifax is naturally inclined
to look at all political developments
sub specie aeternitatis" (under the
angle of eternity. Until three years
ago he was won't to interpret the
Nazi revolution in the terms of
recovery Of German power with
which one had better put up. In
that spirit he went to Berchtes-
gaden in November, 1897, and was
closeted q whole day with the
Fuehrer. He was then lord privy
seal. and dealing with continental
affairs he would lift his eyes to
heaven as though to keep clear
from all vulgar prejudices. Thus
was he described by a very highly
placed French ofiicial whose duty
was to often visit him. But at the
end of 1888 that same official added
these words. Il can tell you that
now he sharply looks around him
when he has to discuss how We
must treat Germany" In brief, Hit
Ter has become for Halifax a
satanic being. and Of all men he
would be the last to come to terms
with Lucifer.

Harvester Strike Threat
Postponed "A Hours
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Dec. 80
Employees at the local plant Of the
International Harvester Co., which
is manufacturing truck parts fol-
national defense, have agreed to
postpone for at least "a hours
their threatened strike, David T
Roadley of Cleveland, commissioner
of conciliation for the Labor De-
partment, announced today.
Mr. Roadley, coming out of an all
night conference, said negotiations
between the @. I. O.-United Auto
mobile Workers and company ON
cials had been recessed for ~ hours
The strike had been set for 10 m
today unless a union contract had
been signed. The unions Local 81
voted Friday night and Saturday to
strike and President Charles Shrock
said 5000 of the plants 1900 workers
would leave their jobs.
The u. A. w. won the right to rep
resent employees in collective bar

tions Board election last May, but
no contract had been signed.

Strictly speaking, Lord Halifax
never belonged to the political
school which went under the name
of Munich. He accepted, In Febru-
ary, 1898, to become Secretary Of
State for Foreign Affairs, in place
of Anthony Eden when the latter
clashed with the Prime Minister
over the proper way to handle Fas-
cist Italy, but, as early as the follow
ing month of May, he already had
been won to the policy Of resistance
which the highest officials Of the
foreign Office never ceased to sup
port.
From that time on he did what
ever he could to convince the cabi-
net that there was no alternative
open to Great Britain except stand
firm in defense of International law
Considerations OF loyalty 10 his
chief. 1t Is true, powerfully weighed
on his mind and caused him to
swerve too far from his own path.
Nevertheless, I had 1t from one Of
his colleagues that, in the cabinet
council held on September 2l, 1888,
two DAYS after the Godesberg meet
ing. when Mr.. Chamberlain coldly
proposed that Germany's ultimatum
should be complied with. the Foreign
Secretary rose against him and
compelled him to revise his views.
Up to that day, both disagreed in
private conversation, but had never
made known to the other ministers
how much they differed in outlook.
Saw Munich as Respite.
After Mr.. Chamberlain had finally
given way to Germany's forcible de-
mands at Munich, the foreign secre-
tary. who had been left at home,
never shared in the illusions which
the great man himself spread from
the airfield: L bring you peace for
our lifetime" He took that So
called settlement for what 1t really
amounted to: A mere respite. Pri-
vately. he never concealed what he
thought.
Czecho Slovakia's independence
was finally annihilated on March
Is. 1899, and within few days Mr..
Chamberlain announced to he

Plot Against lbn Saud
Is Reported Smashed
p1 tie Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
CAIRO, Egypt, Dec. 3o.-Saudi
Arabia's legation announced yes
terday that King Ibn Saud had
smashed a plot to overthrow his
regime with the arrest of six per-
sons, one of whom has been put
to death.
The plot was believed to have
included plans to assassinate Ibn
Saud, but the legation said the sup
posed conspirators had no popular
support.
The leader was said to be Sheriff
Abdul Hamid Ibn Ohm, relative of
Amir Abdullah Ibn Hussein OF
Trans Jordan and of the royal FAM
lily of Iraq. The others were his
servants.
The sheriff was sentenced to
death, but the penalty later was
commuted to life imprisonment,
presumably because of his ancient
lineage and his royal connections.
His chief aide, Ell Abet El Dib. was
executed and the others jailed.
The sheriff had lived in Egypt
until three months ago, when he
went to Mecca.
