tug of war is on between the poli- |

ticians, representing the constitutional regime, ang the military, who it is said plan a sort of Fascist or totalitarian state, At present the struggle is still on. But the military seem slight advantage. Taking a leaf out of Mussolini's notebook, Gen. Senjuro Hayashi, the new has named only eight Ministers to hold 13 cabinet positions, which he has taken over This centralization of power line with Army wishes. And if the military win out a new Japanese thrust on the Asiatic mainland is to be expected whenever the international wind blows the right way. Poland's position is hardly short

of desperate. Between Germany and |

the Soviet Union, only with the | greatest difficulty will she be able | to escape being their battleground. | Today, therefore, she is at work on | two lines of fortifications, one facing Germany, the other Russia. She wants to keep out of the war when it comes, but is convinced she will not be able.

Hope for Power at Prague

Czechoslovakia is quite as dan- |

gerously situateq as Poland. will look at the map, serve that Nazi Germany is shaped something like a wolf's head with the mouth open. And Czechoslovakia's head is in the mouth. Western Czechoslovakia, according to the Nazis, is largely peopled by Germans. What left once formed part of The Nazis, therefore, are working feverishly to organize, within Czechoslovakia, a corps sufficiently strong to seize the power at Prague at the right moment. Whereupon, without firing a shot, Germany would take over the “sluice,” which Hitler once called Czechoslovakia, and use it as a corridor of attack against Russia's Ukraine. These are merely some of the high spots. But it is admitted here that the situation is already having important repercussions in the United States. The efforts of Congress to pass a neutrality measure are far from being the only sign of the times. Our current national “boom,” such as it is, and the stock market rise, are due at least in part to the war score. Foreign demand for wheat, cotton, and so on, is boosting prices, and foreign ing of American securities is an important factor.

Loyalists Denounce Rebel Aid

By United Press VALENCIA, Spain, Feb. 9.—Loy- | alist leaders denounced the German and Italian governments today responsible for the fall of Malaga. Officials generally charged that it was the most concrete proof since the inception of the civil war that Germany and Italy not only do not intend to withdraw their support of the insurgents but will try to accomplish their objectives regardless of diplomatic measures by the democratic powers. The Ministry of the Interior received word from the Governor Badajoz that wo women, who > hill

FARM LOSS SET ~ AT $1,300,000

300,000 Nero i in 6 Counties Under Flood Waters, | State Leaders Told.

By United Press BOONVILLE, Ind, Feb. 9.—Flood damage totaling more than $1,500,000 was suffered by 1620 farmers in | southwestern Indiana, county agri- | cultural agents and rehabilitation | supervisors reported last night at a | conference with Resettlement Administration leaders here. Nearly 300,000 acres were under | | water at the crest of the Ohio River | flood, according to the reports. The estimates included Posey, | Spencer, Vanderburgh, warrick, Parry and Crawford counties. Posey County, bordered by both the Wabash and Ohio Rivers, was considered the hardest hit with I'losses estimated to reach half a mil- | lion dollars. Forty per cent of the | | farm land in’ the county was reported affected by the flood. Arrangements were made for | agents in counties unaffected by the |

flood to locate supplies of feed to be purchased by the Resettlement Ad- | ministration for distribution to | farmers in the stricken area. E. H. Shideler, State Rehabilita- | tion Director of the Resettlement | Administration, said the plan would | expedite the filling of immediate | | emergency needs and also would Jf cate reserve supplies of feed which | will be needed until the next crop season, Mr, Shideler estimated about 13,- | 000 head of cattle, horses, hogs and | other livestock, concentrated in lo- | calities untouched by the flood, were | | being fed by his organization. |

Meanwhile the Works Board accepted a recommendation by City

Engineer Henry Steeg to widen W.|

Washington St. in front of George Washington High School. Under the terms of Mr. Steeg's recommendation, St. would be widened from Pershing St. to Belmont Ave. Seven feet would be added to each side of the present 50-foot right-of-way. This would leave ample room for the installation of two streetcar loading zones for pupils, Mr. Steeg said. This improvement has been sought for some time by members of West Side Civic organizations. Mr. Steeg told the Works Board that he plans to solicit the aid of the State Highway Commission in widening W. Washington St. from the White River bridge to the City limits,

Still the meeting dragged on. When | he called a three-hour respite at 3 p. m, (Indianapolis Time) Gover= | nor Murphy announced they would meet “for a short time” in the evee ning.

Evening Events Surprise

After a three-hour recess came the surprising events of the evening. The negotiation had been in session scarcely an hour when Donaldson Brown, G. M. finance chairman and son-in<law of T. Coleman du Pont of the family which hold the cone« trolling stock interest in General Motors, burst out of the conference, He hurried to the big gray stone General Motors building and soon the mimeograph machines in the | publicity offices began humming. | While the conference continued at Recorder's Court a mile away, newss= [ papermen were summoned, At 10 | p. m. (Indianapolis Time) they were | handed a four-page statement, * Summarized it said: | 1. Negotiations “have not yet re« [ sulted in the solution of the diffi~ culty.” 2. Only because of the request of | President Roosevelt did the com- | pany swallow its opposition to meets

| ers occupied its plants at Flint

3. The sit-down strikers are in defiance of “law and order and to | the authority of the State which those charged with authority must deal with according to their respon= sibilities.’ | 4. The company had received an | offer from John L. Lewis, union chief, "to put the sit-down strikers back to work if the company would surrender on union recognition, 5. The union's right to be sole bargainer was the only issue dise cussed in the conferences, 6. The company replied that fit “cannot. subscribe to such coercion and agree to deliver its workers into such bondage.”

| Company Suggests Vote

con- |

| 7. The company was willing that the union represent its own meme bership and suggested that Gover= nor Murphy supervise a ballot to determine the number of workers in General Motors plants who wished the U. A. W, A, to speak for them in negotiations on wages, hours and working conditions. 8. The company reiterated its readiness to “respond to an early call by him (the Governor) to resume conferences if in his judgment any good could result therefrom.” At the very moment this statee ment was issued Governor Murphy | was in conference with William S. Knudsen and John Thomas Smith of the General Motors Corp. and John L. Lewis, Wyndham Mortimer and Lee Pressman of the union Two hours and 15 minutes later the conference doors opened. The Governor strode to the judge's dais of the adjacent courtroom. rested on his folded arms and said hoarsely: “The conference will reconvene at 8:30 tonight.” Almost his first statement re= | vealed that he had studied the Gene eral Motors announcement. “It is my judgment,” he said, “that ‘good could result therefrom.’ " Further Comment Denied “Despite statements that have been made,” he continued, “I feel that both parties are closer together | than at any time.” | “What do you mean by ‘closer together’?” the Governor was asked, He sat silent a moment, “No comment.” He asserted that he believed it his “plain and first duty to continue the peaceful negotiations.” Then Mr. Lewis came out. He said the position of the union, taken on the second day of the negotiations started last week at Pres= ident Roosevelt's request, still | stands, Regarding the General Motors demand for a plebiscite of employees to determine who should represent them, Mr. Lewis said: “The purpose of simply to determine the extent of union membership and not to determine the scope of the bargaining agency. The union is not willing to have a vote because there is no guarantee from General Motors that it would be a fair vote.’
