Welsh mines"
The British were said to have
pointed out that the coal blockade
had been announced many weeks
before the Rome-London trade ne
gotiations were suspended.
They were said to have been in
terrupted because of Italy's insist
ence on buying coal with agricul-
tural products instead of with prod
ucts of her heavy industry.
Objects to Import Blockade.
Italy objected to Britains block
ade of German imports as well as
exports.
Control of Germany-bound ships,
she contended, required "onerous
and excessive Recommendation not
compatible with normal secrecy of
commercial dealings. The re-
routing of ships in control ports
with delay frequently prolonged for
days and weeks, causing very serious
damage to equipment, to regularity
of service and to carrying on Of
traffic and frequently paralyzing
the supply of goods to non-bellig-
erent countries with immediate and
direct repercussions on industry and
labor"
She took exception to the block
ade of German exports because it
profoundly disturbs the mechan-
ism of international exchange, sup
presses sources of supply and re-
duces the possibilities of production
of acknowledgement states"
The note said the Fascist govern
ment particularly protested against
the "illegitjmacy and gravity" of
Britain's coal blockade.
~'The British government" it said,
knows that the coal in question
meets an indispensable need in the
life and labor of the Italian people. /"
Warns of Disturbance. y
Warning that the blockade ''is Of
the kind to disturb and compromise
economic and political relations es-

Whatever Britain's motives are in
blockading German exports, the note
said, they could in nowise make

Wheeler Favors Use
OF Working Cash 10
Avoid New Taxes
Senator Sees. No Reason
To Boost Debt Limit
Post $4,000, ,000, 900
By the Associated Press.

6y the Associated PfeSS.
A movement to spend part of the
Treasury's $1,000, 100000 working
cash to avoid new taxes or q higher
limit on the national debt developed
today in the Senate.
President Roosevelt's budget called
for $460, 100000 of new taxes for
extra defense needs, but also pro-
vided that the Treasury carry a
billion-dollar working balance
through the next fiscal year. Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau
has urged that such a balance is
necessary to meet any emergency
situation, such as war.
While two farm State Senators.
speaking anonymously, said they
were restudying the budget in an
effort to determine whether the
working balance could be reduced,
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana told reporters:
Il can't see why some of those
funds should not be used. We
should make provision for parity
payments to the farmer, and, even
If we appropriate that money, there
would be no reason to increase the
$4,000, 100000 debt limitation or
raise taxes. It seems to me that is
too much cash to carry on the
Treasury books"
Wants Sterilization Funds Used.
Senator Wheeler said he also
favored using some of the $4,000
600 900 stabilization fund for current
expenditures if necessary.
Senator Adams, Democrat. Of
Colorado declared the Treasury's
working balance has been excessive.
He took the position that at least
half of the working cash was bor-
rowed money and that the Govern
ment thus was paying interest un-
necessarily.
The stabilization fund, Senator
Adams argued, no longer is neces-
sary because:
1T was created to protect the
American dollar and not any other
currency The dollar is the sound
est currency in the world today,
and it doesn't need any protec-
ton"
Treasury officials frowned on the
idea OF dipping into the working
balance. One of them said:
ut is we'll to look forward to
q rainy day. Suppose we should
get into WARP"
Warns of Unsettled Conditions.
This authority said that even
without war, international condi-
tions might become so unsettled
that the Treasury would not wish
to borrow money at some period
when Federal obligations were ma
turing. He added it might be pos
sible to pay off the securities from
the working balance if a large bal
ance were available.
Senator Danaher, Republican, of
Connecticut, drafted an amendment
to give a full hearing to any State
employe charged with political &C
tivity.
A Senate appropriations subcom-
mittee may take up this week the
appropriation bill for such civil
functions OF the War Department
as river and harbor improvements.
President Roosevelt said Saturday
the House Appropriations Commit
tee had camoufiaged it's reasons for
striking out s15,OO0,000 appropria-
ton to begin construction of a third
set of locks in the Panama Canal.
He indicated a belief there was
no basis for congressional asser-
tions that the War Department was
pushing the project too rapidly.
The House had only routine busi-
ness on it's calendar.

NEW YORK, June 13.-Ultimus
Romanorum-the last of the Romans.
This is the legend which fitly should
be flown from the Regatta Com
mittee boat at the coming Pough-
keepsie boat race. For, following
announcement that Peter H. Troy,
chairman of the regatta, will retire
from Office at the conclusion of the
race next Tuesday. it has been
learned that Julian w Curtiss, time
honored referee, will withdraw also.
Whereas Peter Troy has served "a
years Julian Curtiss will fare to the
starting line Tuesday to conduct his
25th regatta.
Farewell Luncheon Planned.
Il have served long" Curtiss said
to the writer. Il have striven faith
fully and I hope, efficiently. Now the
time has come for some younger
man to take over. So out I go along
with Peter Troy"
Asked whether this retirement
meant he would not be available as
referee for middle-distance regattas
of the preliminary season in which
he has so frequently officiated, he
said he would not make his de-
parture from rowing as complete as
that. So when he is wanted at
Princeton or Derby or the Charles
or Cayuga Lake, or elsewhere it is
quite probable he will respond.
Undoubtedly the leave taking of
these two men who have served the
Poughkeepsie regatta with fine spirit
and successful enterprise will not be
unmarked in several ways. But of
all ways to be devised perhaps that
little luncheon get-together of
Messrs Curtiss and Troy now cook
ing up for the Monday before the
race will be the most memorable in
sentiment and fellowship.
Swung Oar at Yale.
Julian Curtiss. who will be 80
years old next August and looks
and acts 20 years younger than his
age, was graduated from Yale with
the class of 1879. Having swung an
oar in the varsity eight his en-
thusiaSm for aquatics never waned
since his undergraduate years.
He also was a track man at Yale.
and although he never played varsity
football his interest in the gridiron
sport is attested by the fact that in
the past 60-odd years he has missed
only two or three of Yale's contests
against Princeton and Harvard.
In his library are many cups he
has won at golf and no one is better
qualified than he to stand with
Amos Alonzo Stagg as the grand
old men of American amateur sport.
He is chairman of the Advisory
Board of the firm of A. G. Spalding
