NEW SPANISH CHIEFS REFUSE TO TAKE LOAN Think Peseta Can Be Made Stable Without Foreign Credit Extension. BY JOHN DEGANDT United Press Staff Correspondent MADRID, April 20—Speed and dtermination with which the provisional government of the republic has started reconstruction work in Spain was praised today, as the cabinet continued its efforts toward solution of the most pressing political and economic questions. Directors of the Bank of Spain—as one example of speed in trans- ! formation of the government-were summoned into session this morning to draw up a proclamation rescinding the contract with New York and European banks for extension of a $60,000,000 credit to Spain. The credit, secured under the

monarchlal government, was not accepted by the republican regime, which expressed confidence that the peseta could be stabilized without it. Another instance of the rapid change of policy of the government was seen in the fact that several Madrid newspapers carried advertisements of Protestant churches for the first time. The new government has repudiated the policies of the monarchy in supporting the Catholic church and, while maintaining the utmost respect for the church, has instigated a policy of separation of church and state and complete freedom of religious views. “Profound satisfaction” was expressed by government officials in connection with the recognition of the republic by various foreign nations, including Portugal, Argentina, Greece, Czechoslovakia, Cuba and Turkey. It also was announced the minister of war soon would publish a plan for reorganization of the army and the minister of justice will announce a plan for reorganization of the supreme court and other tribunals. The town of Earlington, Ky., has two fire chiefs, one for day and another for night duty. Each is paid SSO a year.

pected to attend the Philadelphia meeting. Almost simultaneously with this announcement came a broadside from the Methodist board of temperance, prohibition and public morals, attacking beer—one of the outstanding objectives of labor's campaign. An article In the weekly clipsheet
