Franco-Italian Accord

Seen as Next Step

OME, April 16 (U. P)—A treaty of friendship between Great Britain and Italy, ending an estrangement which for a time seemed to threaten the peace of Europe, was initialled today. The treaty was regarded here as one of the most important steps in recent years to steer Europe toward peace instead of war. It led the way to British recogni: tion of the Italian conquest of Ethiopia. In return, it affirmed Italy’s intention of respecting Great Britain’s “life line” to the Far East through the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. Diplomatic circles said that a simflar treaty might be negotiated among Italy, Britain and France, assuring a solid alliance for peace from the northern seas to the shore of Africa. The British-Italian treaty was merely initialed today, but was expected to be signed formally after Premier Mussolini withdraws his troops from Spain and Britain has taken action to insure recognition by the League of Nations of the Ethiopian conquest.

The points covered by the treaty.

included: 1. Britain and Italy will maintain their present positions in the Red Sea and Mediterranean. 2. Italy will seek no :erritortal or political rights in Spain. 3. Britain and Italy will not interfere with shipping in the Mediterranean and the route east. 4, The Ethiopian frontier will be sharply defined to prevent interference with Italian dominance within the country proper. 5. Italy will adhere to free navigation of the Bosphorous and Dardanelles, as provided in the Montreux Convention. 6. Britain and Italy will exchange information anout military activities in the Mediterranean area. 7. Italy will respect Britain's dominance of Aden, at the southern entrance to the Red Sea. _ 8. Italy will not interfere with the flow of Lake Tana, headwaters of the Nile.

Benes Pardons

Political Offenders

PRAHA, Czechoslovakia, April 16 (U. P.) —President Eduard Benes in an Easter amnesty today ordered release of all political prisoners except those held for treason and espionage. The amnesty was regarded as an important gesture toward the German minority element because the “Sudeten” Germans would be the principal beneficiaries. It was estimated that 1000 men of German stock would be affected. The amnesty was the most farreaching in the history of the republic.

Paris Sit-Down Strikes Ended

PARIS, April 16 (U. P.).—Workmen, totaling 158,000,- who had been engaged in sit-down strikes in 220 metallurgical and other factories in the Paris area began leaving for their homes today, under an agreement by which they are to return to work Tueseday after the Easter holiday, and speed up work on the Government rearmament program.

0 . Gen. Miaja Named

Loyalist Dictator

HENDAYE, French-Spanish Frontier, April 16 (U. P.).—Spanish Rebels consolidated a 15-mile front on the Mediterranean Sea today with which they had separated Catalonia from the rest of Loyalist Spain. Loyalists sought desperately to form a new defense line just north of the Ebro River, 15 miles frcm the Rebel left wing. Accepting the separation of CataIonia as definite and probably final, the Loyalists named Gen. Jose Miaja, commander-in-chtief at Madrid, as dictator of Loyalist Spain proper and sent key Cabinet ministers secretly to Madrid, Valencia and other Loyalist cities to coordinate their executive organization. Rebels, jubilant, celebrated one of their greatest victories in 21 months of war and sent. reconnaissance units northward and southward parallel to the Barcelonia-Valencia Road, extending and solidifying their front. They hoped within a few days to control 40 miles of the seacoast.

Raiding Submarine Leaves

Already they had left the Z.oyalists no means of communication between Catalonia and the rest of Loyalist Spain except by air or by sea. As the Loyalist fleet awaited orders at -Cartagena, on the southwest coast, to try to keep open the vital ports of Barcelona and Valencia, a little Loyalist submarine slipped away from Verdon, France, at the mouth of the Girdone River in the Bay of Biscay, in a gallant effort to reach the Mediterranean coast and raid Rebel blockading ships. The Rebel thrust to the east coast had marked a definite turn in the entire civil war. Loyalist Spain was severed. Loyalist armies held not only a big area around Madrid, but considerable areas in western Spain and in the far South, as well as all southeastern Spain. Dispatches from the Loyalist side indicated

that the Government was prepared:

to. fight on even if it lost everything but Catalonia.

Chinese Christians Seek Easter Victory

SHANGHAI, April 16 (U. P)— Chinese sources reported today that a “Good Friday” battalion of Chinese Christian troops had reached the outskirts of the strategic city of Yihsien in Shantung Province.

AThe troops were under orders of Gen. Chiang Kai-shek to capture

"the city before Easter Sunday. The

Chinese claimed that 10,000 Japanese in Yihsien had been surrounded. Gen. Chiang meanwhile prepared for a “victory” broadcast tonight on the theme, “Why I Believe in Jesus Christ.” Chinese, learnng that the Japanese were stripping their western lines to reinforce their embattled army in the Hsuchow zone, began a drive along the Yellow River today. They hoped to force the Japanese to shorten their entire lines down into Central China and at the same time to embarrass the ' Japanese Government by making it necessary to send more men to China.

ERE’S a tableau in five scenes that gives the Dionne all-star quintet a chance to show histrionic ability in musical revue. .« What everything. There’s no plot to this play. It’s just a picture of an old gaffer out to have himself a time—entertainment for the tired business man. Notice how Yvonne, as King Cole, chortlées in the ensemble scene below at left. When those fiddlers swing it, nobody can sit still. Marie, as the page, gives a performance of distinction as the pipeIt's the clowning role, and Marie, to, make the most of her ability and steal the scene, coyly dips the pipe into the bowl when no one is looking.

What

as a king should be—happy as a

king. There's a change of crowns between the first and last two scenes, but what’s the use of being king if you can’t have at least two crowns?
