BACKGROUND— Because of unsettled interna- tional monetary conditions a tri- Partite agreement was entered into to protect the pound, French franc and United States dollar. Equaliza- tion fund increases have been made from time to time as new conditions arose. Virtual erhaustion of gold jund of France was disclosed Wednesday in fight of Premier Blum for financial dictatorship, thus adding new complications to an already uncertain world finan- cial situation. By the Associated Press. LONDON, June 25.—Sir John Si- | | tee investigatin, e ital Transit | mon, chancellor of the exchequer, to- | SUEaling|ithe (Gap day asked the House of Commons to increase the exchange equalization fund by £200,000,000. (about $1,000,~ 000,000) to support Britain's monetary agreement with the United States and France. This jump, Simon told Commons, would bring the stabilization fund to £550,000,000 (about $2,750,000,000) and was made necessary by the unsettled international monetary situation. Sir John said he would explain later if France and the United States planned similar moves. “In addition to the recent release of hoarded gold,” he declared, “there has been' much financial disturbance abroad and a general tendency for capital funds to move to London, Hopes for Change. “While I consider there is no rea- son why the present unsettled condi- tion in connection with the interna- tional movement of capital should be permanent, the situation compels us to make further provision as an in- surance against additional move- ments into sterling.” This, the chancellor said, was es- sential if Britain was to maintain “our general financial policy and support our undertakings and objec- tives under the tripartite monetary agreement which has been so widely approved.” . Sir John indicated there would be no change in the general government policy but made clear additional funds were necessary for protection of the pound in relation to the French franc and the United States dollar. Debate Set for Monday. Debate on the measure will. start Monday, at which time the chancellor said he would go into greater. detail on the reasons for asking the funds. The recent drain of sterling to France was considered to be the para- mount reason behind Sir John's sur- prize move. French interests in the last few days have been selling francs and buying sterling because they be- lieved the franc would again be de- valued. The franc, financial quarters said, at least faced the possibility of de- | preciation in terms of dollars and pounds, thus making francs or securi- ties based on francs less valuable in France. coming “overvajued” the exchange fund sold sterling to maintain the stability of the triangular arrange- ment for-the franc, dollar, pound.

Agents discovered greatest shortage in centers of greatest wealth, lead- ing to disclosure that several devices were being employed by wealthy individuals to reduce tar liability, In many cases, devices had been de- veloped by former Treasury em- ployes now engaged in private taz practice. Congressional inquiry, requested by President, began last week. B3 the Associated Press. Chairman Doughton of the Congres- sional Tax Committee said today res- ignation of internal revenue agents to handle private tax cases was “almost & scandal.” Commissioner Guy T. Helvering has agreed to give the Senate-House in- vestigators a list of employes who have left the Internal Revenue Bureau for that reason. Senator La Follette, Progressive, of ‘Wisconsin, calling the turnover of bu- reau employes “one of the real prob- lems in the struggle of the Govern- ment to collect its taxes,” asked for the list yesterday. Stay Long Enotigh to Learn. Many employes, he said, remain in the bureau until they are “pretty well equipped” on tax law, procedure and technicalities and then resign to ob- tain remunerative positions. Doughton and Representative Cooper, Democrat, of Tennessee expressed doubt that the list would be of much value in helping Congress stop the practice. Present statutes, Cooper said, forbid individuals to practice tax law before the Treasury within two years after they have given up departmental jobs. But they stil can use the knowledge they have gained with the Treasury, he added, and let a partner handle actual dealings with the department. Quis Resumes Tuesday. The investigation of tax dodging -will resume Tuesday. Explanations will be given of individual cases in which the Treasury contends taxes have been reduced through personal holding companies.

Annulment proceedings, set for two weeks ago, had been continued be- cause he failed to bring his child wite 12 miles across the mountains from their home at Epperson. At that time Chancellor A. T. Stewart ordered Peel to bring her to court today. “She just didn't come,” was Peel's only explanation. Asked if he had no respect for the law, he replied, “I think a heap more of the laws of the mountains than these here laws.” Chancellor Stewart then ordered Sheriff 8. B. Latimore to go into the mountains and get the child. Peel quoted his wife as saying, “I will take poison before I go down there and let them give me back to my mother and the poor house.” The mother, Annie Hamby, instituted the proceedings.

COMMONS IS SCENE OF BITTER DEBATE Chamberlain Asks English to “Keep Cool"—Lloyd George Calls Program “Farce.” BACKGROUND— Spanish war, now in its eleventh month, periodically has threatened to spread beyond borders of nation and engulf most of Europe. Led by Britain, moves have been made to isolate struggle. Non-In- tervention Committee of 27 nations was set up lost Spring and neu- trality patrol placed in Spanish waters, BT the Associated Press, LONDON, June 25 —Great Britain and France have decided to use their own warships to fill the gap in the “hands-off Spain” sea patrol which was created by Italo-German with- rawal, it was learned tonight This decision became known after a bitter full dress debate in the House of Commons in which me Minister Neville Chamberlain and Foreign Sec- retary Anth Eden insisted Britain would push the principle of non-in- tervention in Spain through a 27« power European agreement They asked Britain to “keep cool " over the protests of Liberals like David Llovd George, who cried that Italy and Germany had made the non-ine tervention idea a “farce” and sug= gested it might be a good idea to scrap it. Cites Soviet Shipments. Eden took occasion to say that Soviet, Russia. too, had sent “very large" quantities of arms to help government Spain. Germany anq Italy are on the insurgent side The Franco-British move to extend the supervisory warsmip cordon by themselves means they will take over patroliing the eastern or government- held coast of Spain, where Germany and Ttaly left off The cordon is intended to help keep foreign arms ships from delivering their cargoes in Spain. Germany and Italy washed their hands of the patrol because the Spanish government's armed forces bombed their ships and allegedly tried to torpedo the German cruiser Leipzig. Italo-German ships still are massed in the Mediterranean, however, France and Great Britain intend to notify the Non-Intervention Commite tee of their plan at its next meeting. | Britain also is willing to consider tha placing of neutral observers on each patrol ship. Italy and Germany still are on the Non-Intervention Com- mittee, Before Commons, Eden joined | Chamberlain in urging a “keep cool™ attitude toward Italo-German with- drawal from the Spanish neutrality patrol. Says Outlook “Not Hopeless.,” With Chamberlain he stressed that the outlook is “not hopeless”; that Italy and Germany still may stay with the 25 other nations who are pledged to keep their hands out of the Spanish ci Said dark-h: Eden: “We know this (non-intervention) policy has not worked satisfactorily.” “But Mr. Lloyd Georze has kept Russia well in the background. “There is no doubt that war mae terials, airplanes. tanks. and so forth, supplied to the (Spanish) government side from Russia have been large, indeed. “Everybody knows it.” “Despite these facts on both sides, admittedly none of this help reached Bilbao (now conquered by the Span- ish insurgents, which Germany and Italy are supporting). Non-interven- tion has been in force for eight months, all nations in Europe have signed this agreement, and not one has suggested denouncing it—not even the Soviet government.” Opposition’s Demand. Cessation of the non-intervention scheme, demanded by the Labor and Liberal opposition, would raise the question of granting belligerent rights to the Spanish fighting forces, Eden went on. This, he said, would create new dangers. He pictured a situation where there might be unlimited competition in CAPITAL MAN HELD IN SPAIN SET FREE American Woman Also Released. Four Others From U. S.
