I reprisal for Mexicx’s expropriation I [ of American oil properties. I Tlie agreement has been in effed since Jan. 1 and has been a | major factor In maintaining the I stability of Mexico's currency ays- 1 tem. Treasury officials refused to dis cuss the move but indicated that the administration feels that Mexico committed a moral violation of the agreement when she accompanied the expropriation of oil, property with steps designed to ; devalue the peso. Morgent halts statement was I short and was issued after a United Press dispatch disclosed that the agreement between the two countries had been terminated or deferred. “In view of the decision of the government of the United States to re-examine certain of its financial and commercial relationships with Mexico,” he said, "the treas- , ury will defer continuation of the monthly silver purchase arrangements with Mexico until further ■ notice." Earlier a high administration official told the United Press that I Secretary of State Cordell Hull believes that the administrations , “good neighbor” policy has been healt a serious blow and that Mex ! Ico acted too hastily. The silver understanding. It was said, was entered into by the United States strictly on a “favor basis.” ull was represented as believing that |it was one of the largest single i contributions by this government to furtherance of the "good neigh : bor" policy. The silver agreement was nego

plated last December by .Mexican >' mance Minister Eduardo Suarex. It provided for monthly purchases nt Mexico's newly mined silver at the New York price of approximately 444 cents an ounce. In .addition, the treasury Immediately ■purchased 35.000.000 ounces of accumulated Mexican silver stocks In order to provide the Mexican ; treasury with sorely needed dollar exchange. Financial experts here said that 1 < abandonment of silver purchases will have no immediate serious repercussions in Mexico beyond the Inconvenience it will cause Mexl- j can treasury officials. Mexico, they ‘ said, will now have to offer Its sll-1 ver on the world market in Lon- 1 don. The London price is a few i vents below that paid by the U. S. ■ treasury for foreign silver delivered at New York. Officials said that the treasury's action will have absolutely no es- 1 fed in this country, but large-scale i silver offerings by Mexico on the world market may depress the Lon-, don price. o ■ DEATH CLAIMS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I broke out, Wilson sent House to Europe as his unofficial ambassador. The Texan bore a personal letter from the president to the Kaiser. House had conceived a plan to; prevent war. He hoped to bring a-1 bout a formal understanding among Great Britain. France. Germany and , the United States. He was frustrated at every point, and while on the I high seas bound for home the war ■ started. From that time on House con-| I tinned to fight for peace. He guid-1 ed neutrality missions, made fre- j quent trips to Europe to discuss - formulas for peace only to find bis own country plunged into the war. After the United States entered ‘ the war House devoted all his poll- ■ deal acumen and his statesman-j, ship to the effort to make the war . a short one. He conferred with allied commissions, sifted and digested reports for the president, he 1 went to Paris to assist in co-ordin-ating the allied strength at the I front. He went to Europe again in 1918. this time to assist in framing the i terms of the armistice between Ger- t many and Austria. Next he became I a member of the American cominis sion to negotiate peace. He remained as head of the delegation after President Wilson returned to the United States House working tirelessly during one of the most trying periods of world his tory. finally acquiesced in apropos al for separate jteace treaties which , resulted from the conflict of views over the league of nations. Wilson rejected the proposal liecause he feared it would mean that the league provisions would be , scrapped House was Irked, and from that time on the paths of the I ( two men diverged. House took up residence in New Yotk. where he lived quietly until his death Although he never undertook again to exercise influence ■ in public affairs. House retained his interest in life and politics. Last year in a magazine article he warned the United States that in a re-arming world it must be prepared He pointed to the lesson of 1914. "Had we been sufficiently powerful." he said, "we might indeed have prevented the World War.” o NATIONALISTS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) claimed to have taken two important ranges of hills and 12 villages on the loyalist side of the Alcanadra river, using pontoon bridges. At tlje extreme northern part of their line the nationalists began developing a campaign northward to take Jaca, near the French l frontier. There they took four villages, including Orna and Latre. I and it seemed from their reports as if the loyalists must abandon Jaca or be cut off. Italy Warns France Other developments along the international front included: Rome Italian newspapers speak ing for Premier Benito Mussolini warned France not to seek to aid the Spanish loyalist government lest such action cguse war. Paris —The cabinet of Premier Leon Blum, facing probable defeat later this week, struggled with ; wide spread strikes and with senate opposition to its rearmament financing program. French officials , viewed with grave concern the j probable triumph of the national- ; ists in Spain which would surround her on three sides with dictatorial 1 powers. London— Progress continued on negotiations for a treaty with Italy | based on the vitally important unI derstandlng that Mussolini will not seek political domination of Spain if Franco triuirtphs. Washington — A storm of congressional debate on the foreign policy of the Roosevelt administration appeared likely as a result of increased cloak-room grumbling by Isolationists against the recent declarations of Secretary of State Cordell Hull. A radio speech tonight by Sen William E. Borah R.. Ida., may open the conflict. I ' Shanghai.— Japan established a 1

new "reformed” republic of China in a long-delayed step to stabilize business conditions hi the, Far East. The new regime, headed by Premier Liang Cheng-Chi, was pledged to good relations with the United States and Europe. Chinese troops were reported taking the offensive against Japanese on the Yellow river front, forcing their way across the river in the Kaifeng area and fighting strongly against the Japanese in rich Shantung province. For the time being, however, the apparently final chapter in the Spanish civil war overshadowed other international developments. Catalonia, the greatest industrial center of Spain, has long been the center of extremist political development. it has come under the Madrid government in the past reluctantly and usually on its own terms. Its people have been independent. its labor organizations divided but strong and its leaders far to the left of Madrid. AS a result, invasion of the triumphant nationalist armies may open a struggle if the loyalist resources are not completely drained that will overshadow intensity of the conflict which already has
