Foreign Power Says Italy To Aid Spanish Insurgents
LONDON. Jan. 6 — <UJUt — Documentary allegations that Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy is arranging for large-scale movements of Fascist troops and war materials, supposedly to the Spanish insurgent battlefronts, were understood tonight to have been presented to the British government.
The allegations, in detailed form and describing the purported movements of heavy- naval-type siege guns by the Italians, were reliably reported to have been made by a foreign power.
MI ST SAVE SPACE
Regular Italian shipping lines have been ordered, according to the information. to hold at disposal of the Italian authorities 91.000 tons of shipping for transportation of the troops and war equipment.
At the same time, it was charged. 16 transport ships which were due to have been delivered to Soviet Russia from Japanese shipyards, will be diverted to the Italians “to be employed in the western Mediterranean and Indian oceans.-'
SHIPS DIVERTED
The documents said the transport ships from Japan were to have been delivered to Russia under liquidation of an arrangement for transfer of control of the Chinese eastern railway to Japan.
Italy, it was stated, will not pay Japan for the ships until the economic situation improves.
The documents communicated to the British government were understood to have asserted that the Italian naval and colonial ministries. on March 1. will have 40.000 troops available for shipment, together with 64 guns of large calibre and 24 pieces of artillery of naval type mounted on platforms.
NAME PORTS
All of the men and equipment, it was alleged, would be shipped from Genoa, Naples. Brindisi, and Palermo.
It also was charged that a mine layer of the Italian navy would be transferred to Generalissimo Francisco Francos Spanish insurgent flag and would take up a position off the loyalist capital at Barcelona.

Frank's message of acceptance, ni2de public by Chairman John D.
M. Hamilton cf the Republican national committee, said he was accepting the new post without ‘'any prior obligation" since no one had communicated with him at the time the committee was formed recently in St. Louis, Mo.

He acknowledged that the “business" of the program group is not to promote the interests of any candidate nor is it to write platforms which he said is a task for state and national party conventions.

WATT CHECKS GRADUATES
Alumni Activities j Disclosed in Report
A position paying $916 a month!
Nice work if you can get it— and some of the College of Commerce alumni are getting it as indicated by the latest survey of graduates by Dr. R. R. G. Watt and published in this month's Alumni Review.
Based on responses from 58 per cent of the commerce graduates since 1938. the survey discloses incomes ranging from *1.200 to $11,-000 yearly. The class of 1928 had 8 median income of $2,500; the class of 1932 had a median of $1.-750; and the class of 1935 had $1,500 for a median.
Nearly three-quarters of the alumni are in various branches of commerce, general business and merchandising absorbing the largest number. Others are engaged in accounting. banking, insurance, real estate, transportation and communication, manufacturing, professions. clerical work, and public office.
Nearly 17 per cent of alumni have transferred to either teaching, medicine. engineering, journalism, architecture. the ministry, or law. Only one per cent are in positions where their collegiate training is of relatively little use.
If trends indicated by the report continue, nearly one-quarter of the graduates will own their businesses in the next eight years and the rest will be in positions of executive responsibility.
Dr. Fleweiling Is Honored
Dr. Ralph Tyler Fleweiling, director of the School of Philosophy, was unanimously elected president of the Pacific coast division of the American Philosophical association, at its convention at Scripps college. Claremont, last week.

accomplish any great good in the face of Nazi policies.
ACTIVITIES HAMPERED
“In a vast region where religious freedom are denied and where intellectual initiative and discovery is not allowed, where race hatreds are cultivated daily, what can a representative of the United States do?” he asked.
Dodd said that leaders of big business and industry have repeatedly defeated world peace efforts by their greed.
WAR THREATENS
Another great war threatens, he said, because of the frenzied armaments race.
The logical outcome of the present war preparations is another war and what would another war leave of modem civilization?
"The great business and industrial groups failed to recognize the necessity of international cooperation after 1920. Some of their chiefs defeated world peace efforts at Gen-e eva more than once because they thought the sale of arms and war materials more important than world peace.
FASCIST FRONT SCORED
“With the war preparations and the raising of trade barriers beyond anything ever known in modem history another method of government has been adopted from Rome to Tokyo.”
He referred to the German-Italo-Japanese alliance against communism that has brought the three governments into close collaboration.
“Religious and Intellectual freedom has been abolished over that area.” he said. “Jews have been expelled and imprisoned. No doubt the Hebrews have profiteered at times, but what other race has been free from such members.’”
SCHEDULE OF FINAL EXAMINATIONS GIVEN
Final examinations for the first semester 1937-38 will begin Friday, January 28, and will continue until Thursday, February 3, according to Theron Clark, registrar.
Examinations will be given in the same rooms in which regular classes are held.

RECOGNIZES OBLIGATIONS’
“The Republican party recognizes its obligations in the present critical situation to call out and mobilize the full resources of intelligence and action that the rank and file of its millions of adherents possess.
“The gravity of the situation cuts across the traditional boundaries of all parties, all sections and all groups. I hope, therefore, that this commission will have access to the deepest desires and best thoughts of workers, farmers, professional men and women, business men, small and large, regardless of party lines or sectional interests.
‘SINCERE INVESTIGATION*
“As I sense the spirit of the members who have already written to me this commission will not be an agency of petty fault-finding or vindictive attack. It will seek to play its full part in a sincere, open-minded responsible search for the principles and lines of national action that will keep America a going concern—with its business, its industry, and its agriculture, administering effectively to the human needs of the whole people— and insure a way of life congenial to the American spirit.”
Frank explained he had delayed in accepting the nomination because at the time he was notified of the committee’s action he was not in a position to assume a “major obligation of this sort until I had made the necessary readjustments in my other obligations. That alone accounts for this delayed acceptance.”
French Film To Be Shown On Campus
Cine-Camera Club Will Present Film In Old College
The Cine-Camera club in co-op eration with Professor K. M. Bis-sell, head of the French department, presents “A Nous La Liberte,” a French cinema classic today in 5 Old College, at 9 a. m., 11 a. m., and at 1 p. m.
A special showing of the film will also be given at 7:30 p. m. today in 252 Science, in order that those who are unable to attend during the day may have the opportunity of seeing this picture.
Rene Claire, best known for the film, ‘‘The Ghost Goes West,” is the director. Claire is recognized as one of the greatest directors, and the leading French director.
“A Nous La Liberte” tells the story of a vagabond and his adventures in much the same way that Chaplin’s “Modern Times” dealt with conditions in America. This is an excellent opportunity for French students to study the country, customs, and language of the French people.
This is the third and last picture in the series of film classics presented by the Cine-Camera club that have a direct bearing on the development of motion pictures.
These pictures are no longer in commercial distribution and everyone is urged to avail himself of this opportunity by Bernard Zerbe, in charge of the showing.
Admission will be 25 cents for each showing of the picture. It is a sound picture and although the dialogue is in French, there are English sub-titles.

Van Zeeland Proposes World Fund, Arms Limit in New Pact
LONDON, Jan. 6—<IIP)—Former i premier Paul Van Zeeland of Bel- i gium arrived in London tonight to! confer with prime minister Neville i Chamberlain on a broad program of; world economic appeasement, in- j eluding financial aid to Germany j and Italy to reduce the threat of ■ war.
Van Zeeland's plan, drafted un- j der authorization of Great Britain and France after months of inquiry i that took him to Washington and : other capitals, was understood to have two major proposals:
1.	Creations of an international i gold reserve fund at Basle. Switzerland. to which the United States.! Britain, Franch, Germany and Italy would contribute for world stabilization of currencies.
2.	A general arms limitation pact.
PREMIERS TO CONFER
Van Zeeland, who found scant enthusiasm for his World economic forum when he visited Rome two weeks ago, arrived in London after a channel crossing from Ostend end went immediately to the Belgium embassy. Chamberlain will see the Belgium diplomat at No. 10 Downing street tomorrow.
Inclusion of the proposal for a general arms limitation pact in his plan was believed to have been decided upon by Van Zeeland to overcome the opposition of certain sections of British public opinion which is determinedly oposed to granting financial help to Europe’s dictators without receiving political guarantees.

Duke, Duchess May Visit California
SAN M/lTEO, Cal.. Jan. 6— (U.P)— The Duke and Duchess of Windsor recently negotiated informally with Leon Douglass, scientist and inventor. for possible lease of his 58-acre estate in the fashionable Menlo Park residential area, it was learned today.
Mrs. Lawton Langdon, Douglass’ daughter, said a representative of the duke “discussed at considerable length the possibility that the duke and duchess might move into the family home,” which now is unoccupied.
“Negotiations are in the talk stage.” Mrs. Langdon said. “As far as I know, nothing definite was ar-
POLITICAL PLAY WILL BE SHOWN
Students Produce 'Both Your Houses'
In keeping with current capital affairs, “Both Your Houses,” Puliti-zer prize play by Maxwell Anderson, is to be produced under the supervision of Miss Florence B. Hubbard. The definite dates of the play have been set for Friday, January 21, and Saturday, January 22.
Reserved seats for the play, which is the first major production of play productions for the year, will go on sale Monday, January 17. This is the first time in four years that reserved seats have been sold for a play productions presentation. Tickets may be obtained in the ticket office of the Student Union.
“In order to obtain good seats, student body books should be turned in for tickets early.” said Norman Lehman, head of play productions, yesterday.
On her return from New York, where she attended a convention of national association of drama societies, Miss Hubbard stopped at Washington. D.C., to obtain firsthand information for the play. “Both Your Houses” deals with the passing of a huge appropriation bill through congress.
The cast, headed by Ben Marshall, has been rehearsing for the
ARMS RACE FINISH SOUGHT
Chamberlain was believed to have encouraged Van Zeeland to attach the arms limitation proviso as a means of halting Europe's tremendous arms rage in which Britain herself has a $7,500,000,000 share.
The international gold reserve, it was pointed out by supporters of Van Zeeland’s study, Would provide facilities to break the world’s "trade jam” and would go far toward appeasing the demands of the “have not’ powers.
It would be an effective solution, they said, to Germany’s demand for return of her war-lost colonies.
Dr. Widney, second president of U.S.C., in offering suggestions for enduring peace, yesterday said the fatal defect in the League of Nations was the failure to remove war causes.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6— (Ui?) — Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg. R„ Mich., potential 1940 presidential nominee, today asked congress to determine whether the government can aid in saving the profits system by making tax awards to bsiness firms which share their earning with employes.
He offered a ersolution proposing an inquiry by a senate finance subcommittee of all profit-sharing systems in use in American industry, to provide an authentic record for employers interested in voluntarily establishing such a plan. A resolution calling for a congressional investigation of monopolies has been introduced in the House by Representative Martin Dies, D., Texas.
