I B—10 SPAN PUSTPONES " W CHURCH LAY Second Chapter of Republic’s Constitution - Approved Without Trouble. By Cable to The Star. MADRID, Spain, September 30.— ‘With hardly a slip in the machinery of the constituent —assembly worthy of mention, the Spanish Republic contin- ues almost daily to find hersell ever more nearer her goal when the consti- tutional project will be duly approved and become an unquestioned reality. Two articles the nationality of foreigners resident in Spain, were passed with virtually no discussion of any importance. Before the session adjourned at 10 o'clock last night, the deputies were al- ready far ahead with the third chap- ter and the lesuon of whether the country is to have the death penalty, which was beginning to enliven the at- mosphere of the House, was suddenly left in midair to be settled at today’s sitting. Religious Problem Put Off. ‘The religious problem, which now fig- ures in this third chapter, on the sug- gestion of Speaker of the House Jullano Besteiro, has been postponed until next week. ‘While debating on the subject of na- tionality, Deputy Barriobero, a pale- faced Federalist, introduced an amend- ment to the effect that all Spaniards who took religlous oaths or became priests would automatically lose all rights of citizenship. Despite the sup- port of the Socialists and radical So- clalists, the drastic amendment met with defeat by 113 votes against 82. For the first time since the Cortes as- sembled the only two woman Deputies in the House, Senorita Campoamor and Victoria Kent, exchanged a round of sharp phrases, which brought laughter among their male colleagues. Senorita Campoamor, who is a member of the Parliamentary Committee which drafted the constitutional project, successfully stood off the attack of her sister Deputy that the article defining equal rights for all Spaniards should be divested of the words “in principle” where the status of women is explained. President Niceto Alcala Zamora, who is & sincere profeminist, defended Senorita Kent's objections. Lerroux Called Again. Foreign Minister Alejandro Lerroux, who has been lingering in Geneva longer | than the government here probably considers necessary, was again asked to returl immediately in a telegram which President Alcala Zamora, in the name of the entire council of ministers, sent him yesterday. This action to recall Senor Lerroux is probably related to some sort of document received from the Vatican, which most likely Papal Nuncio ‘Tedeschini handed to President Alcala Zamora in an audience yesterday. Meantime the press has changed its tone in treating the religious question. It advises the Deputies to imitate the wonderful diplomacy which the govern- ment has always displayed in confer- ences with Mgr. Tedeschini. Articles also praise the papal nuncio, calling him one of the church “big three,” the other comprising the second ! chapter of the constitution, dealing with Asks:$160,000 SINGER ENTERS SUIT AGAINST OTTO: H.

ITALY BACKS LIRA BY EXILE THREATS Export of Capital Is Banned and Gold Holdings Here Used to Fight “Shorts.” BY WILLIAM H. STONEMAN, By Cable to The Star. ROME, ‘September 30.—Exile to the “confino” faces those Itallans who fail to observe the Fascist government's provisions for protection of the lira, it has been announced following Premier Benito-Mussolini's reiteration of his in- tention to keep the currency at the gold standard. Simultaneously the Italian Bankers’ Association is issuing instructions to t- V- of holdings of foreign capital, ly for the of ernment with the means of ch future acquisition, Monetary Decree Possible. Banks also are prohibited from sell- ing foreign currency except to those presenting bills from abroad and from selling foreign securities. They also are instructed not to give credit to any per- sons possessing accounts abroad, the idea apparently being to force the con- version of foreign accounts into lire. If these instructions fail to have the desired effect, it is understood that they will be incorporated in s ministerial decree. ‘This decree would probably make it obligatory, for every Italian to declare his holdings of foreign currency and securities and would enable the government to force their conversion if fi:ce&sfln’ in order to strengthen the a. Gold Coverage Held Adequate, ‘The Bank of Italy is using its full resources in supporting the lira abroad. Its announced intention is to buy up as much as possible of the estimated 2,000,000,000 lira which are now abroad in order to catch speculators who have been selling lira short. In carrying out these operations it is using approximately $,000,000,000 lira the members’ banks, which for all prac- tical purposes reinstate the emergency regulations against the export of capital which existed until March, 1930, instructions call for a national canvass ese in foreign currency, which in part com- prises its currency coverage. as the Bank of I 000,000 of this sum in its dollar account in New York, it has more than sufi- Inasmuch taly has about 2,000,~ money she says she spent on .operatic || clent means at its disposal to keep the lira at the gold standard. a It Ilnrolnfed out that even th the Bank of Italy is forced to emp large portion of this reserve in mg; porting the lira, its gold coveraj actual bullion, which amounts to about 38 per cent of the currency and sight obligations, would still be adequate, (Copyright, 1931.)
