CHAMBERLAIN PRESSES MEDIATION IS SPAIN 4-POWF.R COMMISSION MAY HE APPOINTED RUSSIA LEFT OFF TO PLEASE ITALY t IT'S FIRST MOVE IN OAMF, AOA1NST REICH WASHINGTON, June 28. Within the next two or three weeks, the state department expects the "real Ism" of Neville Chamberlain to be put to, a great test. The cold, harsh, gouty prime minister has been play ing a deep and little - understood game, with the simple object of , achieving a partial checkmate of Germany. With the closing of the French border and the agreement for the withdrawal of the foreign mercenaries from Spain, the time has come for the culminating move. If Chamberlain and Great Britain have the strength to make it. Specifically, Chamberlain's plan has always been to liquidate the Spanish conflict, at whatever cost, and then, having ended the only active Joint venture of the Italy German partnership, to detach Italy, again at whatever cost, from Its German -alliance. The closing of the French border and the promises of recall of the so-called "volunteers" are the first necessary steps toward a mediation In Spain. It Is by mediation be tween the forces of Democracy and the forces of Franco that Chamber lain has expected from the first to end the Spanish troubles. As long as a year ago. the British government had an elaborate plan for a Spanish settlement ready prepared. That plan would probably not ap ply today. It provided for supervised , elections (which would certainly fa vor the loyalists), the re-establlsh- ment of the republican form of f government, and a sort of federal system which would allow almost complete autonomy to Catalonia and a large measure of local freedom to other Spanish provinces. Obviously, Franco and his backers would not now willingly agree to such a plan, holding out the prospect, as it does, of a peaceful sacrifice to the Span ish people of all the conquests gain ed by a vast expenditure of foreign arms and foreign armies. In a new settlement, the sacrifices would al-. most surely be demanded of the loyalists. Dispatches in the last few days have convinced the more optimistic minds In the state department that the chances for early mediation in (Continued on Page Four ) PORTLAND, June 28.

"Has the flame of liberty sunk so low that even the administration dares openly and brazenly to .bid for communist votes tfith the peo ple's money, taken out of the treas ury of the United States?" , , F.

T EYES OMMAL North Dakota and Indiana Contests Seen As Hav ing Potential Bearing On Roosevelt's Appeal. WASHINGTON, June 28. (AP) Two mldwestem senatorial contests aroused Interest in the capital to day because of their potential bear ing on President Roosevelt's appeal for clear-cut liberal-conservative bat tles. One was In North Dakota, where Senator Gerald P. Nye frequently a Roosevelt supporter was opposed In the Republican primary by Governor William Langer. The other is in Indiana, where Republican delegates to a state con vention will caucus tonight beroro selecting their senatorial candidate tomorrow. The question of national Interest was whether the convention would take any stand on the Inde pendent candidacy of Senator Fred erick Van Nuys, antl-admlnlstratlon Democrat. The president and his Immediate advisers have taken no public part in the Nye-Langer contest, which Is outside their own party. A factor Indicating they might have more than a passing concern In the out come, however, was Nye's endorse ment by two ardent new dealers- Senators Bone (D., Wash.) and Nor- rls (Ind.. Neb,). Their advocacy of their colleague's renoml nation preceded by a few weeks Mr. Roosevelt's request last Friday that voters of all parties con sider the liberalism of men for whom they vote.
