Franco Urges Foe To Surrender As Le- gions Advance On Barcelona.

BY JOHN LLOYD Associated "Press Forei Staff

PARIS. Jan. l6 -- APl-De- manda for a last desperate effort to save the hard-pressed Spanish Government poured in on the French Government today as In- surgent ‘General Franco appealed to his foe to lay down arms in face of his ad ‘ legions.

In a broadcast ‘message from his Insurgent headquartersJ-‘ranco declared his forces were advancing on Barcelona "not to destroy her but to save her." -

While 150,000 Insurgent soldiers Spaniards-Italians and Moors- converged relentlessly on the gov- ernment capital, Paris became the focal point of anti-Fascist hopes. In all, "Franco's Catalnnian forces were estimated at 300.000.

Although the fall of Iliie sea.- board metropolis would not neces- sarily end the civil war lt was felt

generally that its capitulaiion would assure Franco ultimate vic- i017.

Reports were the capital might be transferred to the extreme northeastern tip of Catalonia, on the French frontier, if Govern- rnent officials were forced to flee.

Warnings Given

From anti-Fascists came warn- ings a Franco victory would mean a dangerous setback forthe Derno- cracies. French Prcmier Daladler. whose country has given its moral - SHPDOrt to the Spanish Govern- ment, was swamped by demands fonsogpllrigdjrf _acti9ri. '

well the meaning of it all. . .

In a review of Mr. Bennett's ax:- complishments. Senator Meighen said the Ottawa Trade Agreements 0f 1932 "were a really big achieve- ment. a landmark in the history of this country." Wrapped up in the body of those agreements was “a revolution in the fiscal policy of Britain," he said.

"Right from the fisheries of the Pacific to the farms of the Mari- times. from the forests of British Coiumi in to the apple orchards of Nova cotia. they (the agreements) gave new hope and new life to our people," said Senator Meighen. “Phev steadied and strengthened the financial structure of Canada."

e Senator termed the St. Lawrence Treaty as "another fine piece of work " The treaty was an agreement between Canada and the United States for develop- ment of the St. Lawrence River. It failed to gain approval of the United States Senate but Senator Mieghen said that “at last the ground ls laid which should make the consummation of that task a relatively simple thing when the two countries are ready again.”

Conservative Leader Scores Gov-l ernment’s “Masterly Inactivity"- In Dealing With Unemployment.

OTTAWA, Jan. l6-—(C. P.)—Failure to realize the serious economic conditions existing and failure to take appropriate measures to relieve them were charged against the Mackenzie KingGovernment tonight by Hon. R. L Manion, new leader of the Conservative Party.

He made his charges the basis of an amendment to the

address in reply to the Speech from the

Throne which

amounts to a motion of want of confidence. Assailing the record of the Government in a three- hour speech the Conservative leader described Mr. Mao-

kenzie King as a “theoretical

reformer and a practical ro-

aciionary,” cited Mr. King’s pre-clection speeches at length and declared nothing had been done to fulfil promises and

implement policies.

To the address endorsing the Speech from the Throne. Dr. Manion’s amendment would add:

"We desire respectfully to express regret this: the Gov- ernment has failed, since its accession to power in 1935. to show a proper realization of the serious economic condi- tions existing in all sections of Canada. as evidenced hy un- employment and IIIEECIII": for hundreds of thousands of Can- ndiun people. lack of oppor- tunity foi- youth. and wide- spread distress in agriculture: and has failed to take an- p- ‘ measure, to relieve such conditions."

in reference to Mr.

This was _ Gardlnez-‘s statement on his meet-

inlr wlith Mr. Hepburn in Toronto when differences between the two leaders were discussed.

"I' do tihink.” said Dr. Man-ion "that the recommendation of . 41km bv anyone other than the Minister of Jilstioe is a metw ser- ious matter. Our iudiciarvhss al- ways been kept on a high plane.
