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

keep our friends In power."
"This Is nothing more nor less
than an open bid by a high new

Fish said.
"This direct appeal of Mr. Williams
to the communist element proves
how far the administration will go
in dispersing relief funds for parti
san purposes.
"Has the flame of liberty sunk

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.
There has not been the slightest
hint as to whether Nye in the event
of his renomlnatlon today might
get any open or tacit administration
aid against the Democratic candl
