New President of Spain Addresses American People (Nlceto Alcala Zamora, provisional president of the new Spanish repub lic, yesterday addressed a message of friendship and cordiality to the Am erican people through tho Associated Press. Included In his message Is the government's decision to elect a parliament and to work through rep resentative government.) (Copyright, 1931, by1 the Associated Press) By Nlceto Alcala Ziimoni Provisional President of tho Spanish Republic. MADRID. Apr. 10 iP) I am es- 1 pecially glad to send to the peoples ; of tho Americas, through the Asso ciated Press, a message of cordiality and my earnest salutations. Wo are now all sister republics. We hove now a government similar to yours. There is a closer bond through our freedom and similar fonn of governments. Spain will honor her history as the nation which discovered the lands where all the republics from Alaska to Elerra Del Fucgo are situated. If there was any difference between Spain and the Americas, it was simply a difference of Institutions. As these have disappeared I believe that we shall be able to understand each other better and to love ono another even . more. With respect to Portugal, our rela tions will be even moro cordial and there will be tr.'ore confidence. I emphasize especlolly the confidence which should reign between both peoples. It Is not given to mo., as yet to discuss whether Spaniards In the Americas should havo ruprcttUiiLnUou in the coitRs ( no tionnl legislature) . It Is too premature to speak of tills now but when the moment comes the government will study the question with Interest. Our program is to elect a cortes which, with complete sovereignty, should decide what the future policy of the government of Spain, will be. All the acts of tho provisional govern ment will be submitted to the cortes so elected by the people. At this time it Is difficult to for mulate a program as all the measures wo may take will have to be by mu tual accord after due deliberation by the ministry. Regarding tho Catalonian problem, the government is ready to concede the Catalonlons their national aspira tions. This is a question of sentiment with the Catalonlans, it la also a question of right. And when I speak of the Catalonlans I believe that the other provinces of Spain are entitled to the same prerogatives. They aro all within the legal right to enjoy a system which may allow them, with in the Spanish confederation, to en Joy full political autonomy. Full political autonomy will be conceded Catalonia.

Chicago Policemen Are Proven Polite CHICAGO. Apr 17 (P) Chicago ! policemen are radiating politeness. A group of newspapermen, posing as strangers looking for information,. , pave traffic policemen ample oppor- tunity to sneer, but , reported bacf: that their investigation hud 'revealed nothing but courtesy. The newspaper men made their Journey following publication of a statement by Mayor Anton J. Cer mak that he wanted Chicago's police to be the "most courteous in the world." "Say, cop," ono of tho reporters said to one policeman, "what time ls it?" Dcsplto the fact that a clock was ln plain view of the questioner, the policeman turned traffic aside, un buttoned his coat, pulled out his ' watch and said: "It's Just 11:16."

About Ourselves The only time we are definitely ind permanently defeated Is when ive null the flt'lit. (KKA Service Writer) WASHINGTON The department of labor estimated awhllo ago that there were 400,000 aliens In the United States who had entered tho country Illegally and that about one In four would be found deported if thoy were all apprehended. That would mean that one per son in every 1200 of population could bo deported. Of course, tho one in 1200 becomes, for many rea sons, very hard to find. The pro- portion 01 potential deportees rounded np and sent awny each entrants already here or tho num ber dribbling in each year. When one In four is held to be deportable, however, the guess Is based on the : proportion supposed to have been en- Iterod since July, 1934, inasmuch os those who come before that may not be deported, "Seamen's Houte" Blocked : At one time the so-tfaUcd "seo- men's route" was the most popular mothod of illegal entry. Thero are about a million arrivals of seamen in American ports every year and it was not hard to enlist on a ves- sel in a foreign port and desert hero on arrival. In 1924 about 35,- 000 seamen deserted at American ports. Most of them probably stayed here, although some merely changed ships. But then" It was decided to hold -tho owners of vessels to groater ro- sponslbillty and that's why last year the number of desertions had dwindled to 9000 .
