Here's Model For Debt Disclailniing

AUSTIN For husbands want ing to disclaim debts contracted by their sStranged wives, UniVer- sity of Texas librarians think they have as good model as can be found.
 Printed in a newspaper of l93O it says:
 she has, without cause, left my habitation and is floating on the ocean of tyrannical extra vagance, prone to prodigality, talk ing wild goose chase and kind ling her pipe with the coal of curiousity.
 ITO abscond and abolish such insidiouS, clandestine, noxious, pernicious, diabolical and notor- ious department, I therefore eau ton all persons from harboring or trusting her on my account, as I will pay no debts of her con- tracting from this date, unless compelled by law"

CAREER DIPLOMATS BUNGLE JOB IN SPAIN, MAKING NAZI PUPPET, FRANCO DICTATOR
By Drew Pearson and Robert S. Allen

WASHINGTON. May 26-What most worries the State Depart ment today is the fact that Hit Ter is poised over Spain, can shoot down to the Straits of Gib- raltar, thence to French West Africa. From there t is a short hop to Brazil and South America.
 In othzr words, Spain - the mother country of most of South America is the real spearhead of Nazi attack and influence among our Good Neighbors. This was deliberately planned by Hit Ter as long as six years ago, and the results of this far-Slghted policy are now beginning to bear luscious fruit.
 The Marquis de Aguiar, agent of Catholic groups in Spain and certainly no Communist, this week gave eloquent testimony of this fact. Already Hitler has tWel ve divisions in Spain, the Mar quis said, and has sent four ships loaded with munitions to Nazi sympathizers in Latin America.
 General Franco, whom the State Department career boys helped install as Spanish dictat- or, signed a secret agreement with Hitler on October 8, 1888 by which Germany took over Spain However, according to the Mar quis de Aguiar, Hitler found ii more expedient to use Spain as a blind to get everything possible out of the United States. So, for the time being, Fascist Spain was instructed to be neutral.

Munitions ManeuyerS

When the Spa0ish revolution first broke. no law prevented the shipping of munitions to the Span ish Government. But Secretary HuIrs good friend from T-nnes- see. Represent ative McReynolds. immediately introduced bill, and all the forces of the United States Government wera brought to prevent a shipload of muni- tions from sailing on the Spanish steamship Mar Cantabrico until MT. McReynolds could get his bill through Congress.
 Customs officials pried open packages on the ship at the last minute to delay her Army offic- IS held up the ships departure until 32 cast-off field kitchens had the words "U. s. Army painted out.
 Then as the vessel sailed out of New York harbor, the Coast Guard cutter Icarus steamed alongside ready 10 stop the ship the moment the law was passed by Congress,
 The Coast Guard even ordered the Mar Cantabrico to heave to at the last minute to serve a writ on behalf of two disgruntled Am erican fiers who claimed they had not been paid by the Span ish Government.
 All these handicaps were thrown in the path of a govern ment which was trying to combat Hitler and whose defeat has to- day put Hitler in a start gic posi- ton for hop to South America

U. s. A. Wakes Up

Some time later American pub lie opinion and various branches of the U. s. Government began to realize their mistake. But not the career boys. Not sven in l938-tWo years later-had they learned their lesson (This did not apply to Under Secretary of State Sumner Welles who has been op- pos d to the Spanish FasciSts)
 By that time however Presi- dent Roosevelt had. And he in dicated to friends of the Spanish Government that even though the now amended neutrality act prohibited the shipment of arms to help the Spanish Government, nevertheless arms could be ship ped to France or any other sov- ereign state, and that sovereign state had right to send arms wh-ver she wished, with no ques tions asked by the United States
 So the Spanish Government, acting on this information, sent a routine cable asking the State Department if such a transaction was all right. And the career boys apparently double-crossing the White House cabled peremp- tory demands that any munitions shipments to France be stopped.
 Later, Greece ordered and paid for g Bellanca training ships in tended for tranSshipment to Spain. But again MT. Joseph C. Green sent a peremptory cable stopping the shipment.

Falangists in Cuba Real fact is that Spain is no more neutral than France. Today

.Redl 1dcL IS tnaI Spdin lS no more neutral than France. Today Spanish Falangists are operating throughout Latin America, even next door in Cuba. The Falan- gjsts have started a trem-ndous movement to take that island back to the mother country - Spain.
 Obviously if Spain did win a foot-hold in Cuba, the island would become equivalent to Crete, only nearer, in serving as a stepping-ston2 for invasion of the United States.
 Meanwhile, wealthy Mrs. Alex ander Weddell, wife of the Unit ed States Ambassador to Spain, donated an orphanage to the Wo- mems auxiliary of the Falangists, arch-enemies of the USA - a gift which the Madrid press cred tied to the German Ambassador.
 This was not half as bad, how ever, as the shortsightedness of certain State Department officials who helped put a puppet of Hit ler's into power in Spain.
 For instance, when civil war broke in Spain, in 1886, it made no difference to the State Depart ment's carcer clique that General Franco had consulted with MuSso lini before he began his revolu- ton. Joseph C. Green, head of the State Department Munitions Control Board, went ahead and urged U. s. munitions dealers not to sell arms to the established government of Spain to protect itself against the revolutionary agents of Hitler and Mussolini.
 Also, the State Department career boys did their best to keep the Spanish Ambassador from see ing the President of the United States; so that he was only able

evidently has not deteTmlneo pEe- cisely how and when to act. One surmise Is that he may jolt the pub lic with . cold warning that we are not producing for national de- fense fast enough for the safety or either Great Britain or the United States.
 Segments of both labor and in dustry are regarded here as too com- placent, That Mfr. Roosevelt IS thinking in terms of going to the people with his problems Is indicated not only by his definite plan Tor . flreside chat one week from tonight but also by his talk yesterday with legislative leaders. He spoke then regarding Q possible message 70 Congress. Two Big Counts Disturb
 The administration is uneasy on at least two major counts, Flrst, there is a feeling that Q substantial part of the population Is unable or unwilling to accept the idea that the nation actually is in danger. There have been strikes which have seri. ously interrupted national defense production and there are complaints that industry inclines too much W "buslneSS 0S uSuAl",
 second, there Is acute apprehen' sion here regarding proposed Fran co-oernan collaboration. In hi' conference with legislative leaders yesterday, MT. Roosevelt displayed the executive office maps ot th' South Atlantic including the Dakal area and discussed ct some lenStl the problems which would follow all out Franco German military collab oration, But he did not indicat what countering action he had Il mind, .-.
 What WlN He Do?
 The conferees came away believ ing that O message to Congress oi foreign affairs was imminent bu the White House later denied tha the President contens plated sendinl one At this tilne. There was speeu lation, also, that he might inten' soon to extend the limits Of the no ional emergency proclaimed In Sep ten,ber, 1889. But examination c that document revealed that 1t wa about aS broad as 1t could he mad during peace time. It could Do OK banded, however, by Q substitut which would remove tho now exist Ing limitation that 1t relates only [ matters "in connection with and the extent necessary for the prope observance, safeguarding and en forcing the neutrality of the Unite States and the strengthening ot oV national defense within the limits (

peace.time authorizations"
 Any re-statement of the emer- Rency proclamation would have less effect in extending the Presidents powers than in stimulating popular realization of the seriousness ot tne emergency which has prevailed 1or at least Q year. Any drastic move to counter German occupation or Dakar or to prepare the public for such measures as may be necessary to protect American shipping enterr ing the Red Sea with munitions for the British probably would DC pre-. ceded by some White House ehort to arouse the people.
 Bring All Up to Date Tho lreside chat, possibly supple mented by Q communication to con press, should bring the public up te date on developments so far ano project them somewhat into the fu' ture. But the President has eln' phasized that he Is on e dAy-to-day basis in dealing with the war n Europe and he does not intend to commit himself much in advance on anything,
 Some of his unotiicial congress sional spokesmen have ben demand- ing more positive leadership, gem erally In the form of greater aid to Britain, conveys and seizure of At iantic and Pacific Islands, Dakar and other areas which might in the future become vital in national de- fense palms. It appears that tho President has not decided what to do about those specific issues e%- cept, possibly, conveys.
 The convoy dispute seems to Do dying and it is not likely to De re- yiyed In form dangerous to the ad- ministration under existing cireum- stances, That is because the ex.
