“The progress of our democracy must not; be imperillnd by the de- lllllI of essential powers or free gov- emment." l

There is no vital nced to amendi iha Constitution, he argued, but l iherc is need of an "enlightened view" of it. He appealed to the‘ court to permit. “legitimately im-i pied” powers of government to lie made “effective instruments for the i common good."

The President reiterated his faith in NRA's broad objectives. conceded- tliat it had attempted too much and then giving each word ll. sharp, staccato emphasis asserted:

“The statute of NRA has been outlawed. The problems have not. They are still with us.”

At the same time, Mr. Roosevelt called for "an addition to the exist- ing Neutrality Act to cover specific points raised by the imfortunate civil strife in Spain." Congress re- sponded with a rush, but too late to halt a ship which steamed out of New York with a cargo of nir- plnncs for the Spanish government.

The Senate promptly and unani- mously adopted a resolution clap- ping a. hard and fast embargo on shipments of war materials to Spain. After some delay, the House did likewise. But the ship had sall- PEI.

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Win) OTTAWA, Jim. s - Unless all signs fail, downward revisions in ‘ the textile schedules of the Cana- illan tariff will be a major devel- . upment 1n the session of Parlia- f ment which opens Jan. 14. Iiower duties against British woollena and artificial alike are elzpected and a cut in the impostu on higher grade manufactured oottone from the Un-

r 5 lted suites.

Evidence of profits made bysome textile firms In Canada submitted ln W.F'.A. 'I‘urgeon’s Inquiry into the induxiry is believed to have caused the Government to lend an ear to proponents of lower tariffs.

‘ British textile people also urge

i better treatment in the new trade agreement now being negotiated between Canada. and the United Kingdom.

Textile manufacturing ls one of the big industries in Canada and any changes In the protection It receives will be of fur-reaching ef- fect. The domestic production this year will run over $350,000,000. For

, the 12 months ended Oct. 31 last.

l Canadian imports of textiles total- led $96,000,000 as compared with $84,000,000 the year before.

Most of the imports come from Great Britain and United States,

l-Brltish textile exports to Canada ' jumped from $39,000,000 in 1935 to 343,000,000 in I936 and the United Itates exports from $31,000,000 to 333,000,000. Raw cotton constit- utes about half of the textiles coming from the United States. , Increase in Canadian sales in the l United Kingdom market under the 1932 agreement greatly exceeded gains made in the Canadian busi- ness qt British firms. It is under- stood Britain took the view that up for revision this year changes would have to be made. Dominion Government was an-

PROTESTS T0 LEAGUE

GENEVA, Jan. (t-The "gravest complications" in the international sphere may result from continued German seizure of Spanish vessels. Foreign Minister Julio Alvarez del Vayo today warned the League of Nations In a. note protesting the Reich's naval actions and the fn- creasing shipment of foreign "vol-i untcers" to the Insurgents.

Should ‘a Spanish government warship or airplane be on hand the next time a. German vessel seizes a Spanish vessel, it would be oblig- ed to intervcnt. Del Vayo told the Intematlonal body.

The double-barrelled protest was made in a formal note to League Secretary-General Joseph Avenol. It followed. confirmation of the re- cent arrival of 14.000 German and 10.000 Italian "volunteerr at Shan- Ish Insurgent ports.

It waa not couched as a formal appeal, nor did it invoke any article of the League Covenant nor make any demand for action by the council, which is scheduled to con- vene Jan. 18.

The Republican government merely denounced the “infractions of international law" involved in the stopping of Spanish ships at sea, and the landing of German and Italian volunteers in alleged violation of the Non-Intervention Pact

The note summarized a number of facts in this connection. and asked that they bc communicated to all member states. It will form a part of the Spanish dossier which will come up for consideration when the council meets.

RUSSIA ACCUSBS REICII MOSCOW, Jan. 6—A Soviet gov-

Germany is “deliberately provoking a. conflict with the Spanish Re- public" and will not cease her ac- tivities unless Great Britain and Rance intervene.

The spokesman, writing under the names of “Vl¢lil.u" in the news- paper Izvestis, declared German seizure of Spanish ships in reprissl for the capture of the passengers and cargo of the Nazi freighter Palos was an attempt by the Na- zis to measure the amount of Ger- man intervention that would be permitted.
