P a s s i v e Resistance Launched By Ger- man Settlers In For- mer Reich Colony.

(AP. by Guardians Special Wircl

PRETORIA, South Africa. April k-German settlers in the former Reich colony of Southwest Africa. angered by s decree outlawing Nazi political units, boycotted courts and mapped a protest to the League of Nations today.

Flauliting the authority of ter- ritorial judges, they set up their own secret tribunals and launch- ed a passive resistance drive to ex- tend boycotts to other governmen- tal bodies.

The South African Government, which administers the former Ger- man possession under mancla‘e. prohibited aliens from Joining arw political organization without the written consent of the adminis- trator. '

Any British subject pledging al- legiance to any sovereign or head of state other than King George VI also will be subject to heavy fire or imprisonment. Aliens en- gaging in unauthorized political activities would be subject to de- portation.

(In Berlin, official German cir- cles said the government probably would protest against the decree on grounds it violates promises given to Germans in the former colony granting them full politi- cal, cultural and partial commer- cial equality).

The Union Government has car- ried ‘m'“o"‘three-'year drive to eup- press Nazi and other nationalist movements, raiding Nazi head- quarters and declaring a. Hitler youth movement illegal.

Oflicials are especially displeased by the fact that German youths still are being drafted for German military service just as though Southwest Africa, lost by Germany after the war, were still Reich ter- rltnry.

Dlslmwhefi from the southern battleground told of a sudden west- ward extension of the offensive {he government has been pushing we- (Ivssfully for a week in the prized mlnln8 lands northwest of Cordoba. The new thrust carried govern- ment troops to the rear of the In. Sllrsents holding the Penarroya mining zone.

A Eovernment column w s re- ilorted to have captured th im- Dortant town of Valsequillo, 10 miles northwest of Penluroya. and to have continued toward La Gran- luelu. Junction point of roads to the south. Thirty men of an Insur- gent leursuard were cut off and fifllltured in Valsequillo. Much war material was taken.

This "operation put Penal-toys un- der attack from two sides, as an- other government column was for- cing its way down the road which runs south from Hinalosa del Du- que into the mine country.

If the government columns now driving toward the main Cordoba highway should reach it at Pen- HYPOYR fill possibflty of a westward retreat for the Insurgents would be out off.

At the same time the main gov- ernment column which began the drive from Po ' "co is attempt- ing to take Villsihafta, about 1B miles north of Cordoba, which would close the eastern outlet and bottle up the Insurgents between tlicre and Penarroya.

Insurgent columns were thrown‘ against the hitherto advancing gov- ernment ltn-"s in two vigorous nt- tacks near Puerto Calatraveno to- day.

Government reports of the action admitted their forces withdrew a little for a counter-attack. which was launched with airplane and tank cormrailon. The ground tem- porarily lost was regain-rel and ‘go-v- cv-nmcnt ‘inns advanced still fur- ther. they claimed.

Thlrtv airplanes took part in the counter-attack. dropping bombs and than swooping low to machine gun the enemy lines. The new ground captured was fortified against the onrsibility of further Insurgent at- tacks.

RepUi-ts from the front reaching this Insurgent headquarters indi- cated the attacking lines were within 20 miles of Bilbao at. many points. Available infonnation, however, purposely omitted many place names and other details.

The defenders of Bilbao, Basque separatists and Government milit- lamen, were reported evacuating fortifications at Ochandiana and Durango, southeast of Bilbao, be- fore pressure of the Insurgent drive. They were reported pour- ing into the Basque capital, calls- ing an acute food shortage.

Most of General Francisco Fran- co's troops rested today along this northern front, preparing for are- newed assault under General Em- ilio Mola, their immediate com- mander.

The Basque casualties were esti- mated to have passed 1,000, as the defending lines gradually gave ground in what the Basques had considered their impregnable moun- tains i

Bennett Demands Dis- missal For Montreal Speech.

UITAWA, April 2 -— Immedliil; dismissal of Major W. E. Glad- stone Murray, general manager of the Canadian Broadcasting Com- mission, was demanded in the House of Commons todaybyRight Hon. R. B. Bennett. The basis for his demand was a. speech made by Major Murray a short time ago in Montreal, in which he said that the ultimate result of the corporation's policy would be to make Canada bilingual.

The matter arose when T. L. Church (Cons. Toronto-Broad- view) asked the Government whe- ther Major Murray had made tlie statement on the authority of the Government.

“That question has already been answered," said Hon. C. D. Howe (Minister of Transport).

“No, it has not. retorted Mr. Bennett. "The question to which the Minister is referring dealt with another matter entirely. The ques- tion which the hon. member has raised is a very serious one."

Premier Mackenzie King said that the Government knew noth- ing of the Montreal speech. It had heard of it only alter it was de- livered, and he took no responsi- bility for the statements made.

“Do I understand," Mr. Bennett pursued. "that Murray made that statement without the authority of the Government, which, on its own statement last year. now con- trols broadcasting?"

Mr. King: “That is right." lMr. Bennett: “Then he should be immediately dismissed; immed- iately."

‘Ihere was no response from the Government.

Charges Liber al s Claim Credit For’ Trade Agreements

, They Actually Fought.

(CI. by Guardian's Special Wire)

PElVlIBROKELOnt. April 4—Can- ada cannot exist as a nation if the provinces set up minimum wage laws of differing standards: labor can only be protected by national action, Conservativelead- er R. B. Bennett declared here last night iii the lively meeting which wound up the North Renfrew by- electioll campaign. The vote is t0 be taken tomorrow.

Mr. Bennett stressed the neces- sity‘ of amending the constitution so that social legislation essential to the national well-being could be enacted. But, he asserted, the way to bring those amendments about was not by appointing an- other Royal Commission on juris-

diction and taxation, but by call- »

ing together a great constitutional conference slich as had givenbirth to confederation.

Large Audience

An active audience of about 1.- 000 jammed the armories to hear the Conservative leader. Another 100 0i‘ more were unable to get in. Many took a vociferous but good- nalurcd part in the proceedings, hurling both critical and friendly comments, all of which Mr. Bell- nett took in his stride.

On four or five occasions, Sat- urday-nlght scraps broke out am- ong partisans near the entrance. taking the audience's attention momentarily from the speaker. Each time Mr. Bennett jokingly announced the conclusion of "round three" or "round four" as someone was ejected, and tlie crowd started to sit down again. “A sit-down strike. you know, is quite effective," he suggested.

True Democracy

While Liberal speakers had pre- viously suggested there should have been no contest in this election, Mr. Bennett said “such a false concept of duty has never been the view of British subjects any- where". A democracy could only live if there was a vigorous and

courageous opposition in parlianr‘

ent. and that was needed than today.

While the Liberals had claimed credit for trade agreements, they had actually fought them. he said.

"Who laid the basis for our pre- sent prosperity?"

“Sir Wilfrid Laurier." offered a back bcncher, amid laughs.

“The basis of our economic im- provement was started in 1933. af- ter the Ottawa trade agreements. and that improvement is still con-
