He suggested the authorization might- prove a valuae bargaining point in obtaining Japanese compliance with U.

CHUNGKING, China, Jan. 19 (U.

Chao, who is 27 and leads the so-called Fifth Guerrilla District Troops, said. “Now, with the aid of the Chinese Central Government, we are estab- |; lishing a chain of supply stations extending to the most northern part of -China.

Chao said that despite a price placed by the Japanese on his head, he has visited Peiping disguised as a cabbage peddler, and Shanghai disguised as a “dandy” dressed in fine silk gowns. “The peasants are the backbone of the guerrillas forces,” he said: “They supply us food and [clothing d even pay taxes which local auPhorities turn over to us | to’ buy

over foreign Holdings, apparently bent on collectivising the country as was done in Russia. It is admitted pas she can not pay for what she is propriating. Hence it amounts to confiscation. There is where the trouble comes in.® Other Latin American countries are watching the Mexican experiment with open eagerness. If Mexico cap do it, they can do it too. Billions36f dollars in foreign holdings, therefore, will be in danger.
Lima Delegates Warned
Members of the American delegation at Lima were warned that Washington's failure to take a firm stand on Mexico’s seizure of foreign
oil lands, valued at 450 million dollars, will lead to similar action elsewhere in South America. The Monroe Doctrine éan hardly fail to become involved, sooner or later. If it so elects, the United States can allow neighboring republics to confiscate the property of it§] own nationals, but Great Britain, Germany, France and other overseas powers almost certainly won't. If the United States refuses to uphold international treaty rights in this Hemisphere, other interested foreign governments may intervene. Mexico’s seizures are hurting American interests in othep ways. Having expropriated . Anierican, British and Dutch oil lands to the tune of almost half a billion dollars, Mexico is now selling oil to Nazi — | Germany, which country is building up reserves for war, possibly a. ainst Britain and France and conceivi ly against the United States:
Barter Hurts U. S. Workers
Lacking foreign exchange Ger--imany does not pay for the oil in cash. She does it by the barter method. Mexico swaps oil, belonging to Americans, for German automobiles, trucks, busses, typewriters, electrical equipment and the like—items which she has been in the habit of buying from the United States. Americans . workers therefore are deprived of jobs making the goods| which they used to export to Mexico. Instead, German workers are employed. : Today, according to Frank L. Kluckhohn, New York Times correspondent, Gen. Juan F. Azcarate, newly appointed Mexican Minister to Germany, is rushing to Berlin on a “secret mission.” The post has

Loyalist recruits are being called from all classes in Barcelona to S defend the city against rapidly approaching Rebel forces under Generalissimo rranco. The Rebels have called on Barcelona to surrender.
Azcarate says he “is in a hurry,” the supposition being that he has some new deal on with the Nazis. Mr. Kluckhohn, long a correspondent in Mexico City, has just been expelled by the Cardenas Government. It was he who first reported Mexico was selling oil to Germany. i
U. S. Asks Compensation
The United States does not deny that Mexico has the right to expropriate foreign property. It merely asks for fair and compensation. “Many of our nationals,” Secretary of State Hull observed in his note to the Mexican Government, “have invested their savings in these properties and have been dependent “upon ‘them for their own livelihood.” Last fall, Mexico agreed to pay American citizens something like ten million dollars for farm lands taken from them. But, she warned, the settlement was not to be regarded as a precedent. Payment for the billion doHars worth of American property today being systematically taken over by the Mexican Government, therefor. is a matter of grave doubt.
Diplomas of Jews Revoked by Nazis
BERLIN, Jan. 19 (U. P.). — The Government decreed today that diplomas of Jewish dentists, veterinarians and © druggists were to be voided, effective Jan. 31. It was assumed that those affected would no longer be qualified as professional graduates. It was decreed also that Jewish nurses and assistants should be permitted henceforth to practice cnly among Jews or in Jewish institutions.

SALE PROTESTED
Loyalists Claim Neutrality Committee Closed Eyes To Violation.
LONDON, Jan. 19 (U. P.).—Pablo de Azcarate, Spanish Loyalist Ambassador, protested to the Foreign Office today against the “deliberate” silence of the Spanish Nonintervention Committee regarding the sale of six Italian warships to the Spanish Rebels. The note cited the new edition of
tative ‘naval work, in naming four destroyers and two submaries sold by the Italian Government to the
Rebels. “These sales are so many open, declared violations of = the Nonintervention agreement on the part of the Italian Government,” said the Loyalist note. : “It is impossible to believe that the British Government, Naval Intelligence service is counted one of the surest and most effective in the world, was not at least aware of the sales; and although nothing can any longer cause surprise when it is a matter of seeing major breaches of the
ed in silence, the Spanish Government can not refrain from expressing not only amazement but also energetic protest against the deliberate silence which the Nonintervention Committee maintained in these transactions.” Two thousand Communists tried to march to 10 Downing Street, official residence of Prime Minister Chamberlain, last night to demand that the Government permit the sales of arms to the Loyalists.
