Crop Control
Condemned By
U. S. Jurist
Greenville, S. C., Oct. 6. —(AP) —
Judge H. H. Watkins, of Anderson,
presiding at the current term of Fed
eral court here, today again in
ferentially condemned the govern
ment’s crop reduction program as he
passed sentence on a defendant who
admitted operating an illicit distillery,
but asked for mercy because “I
couldn’t make a living after the gov
ernment cut my cotton crop down.”
The defendant, T. R. Garland, a
share cropper on a farm from near
Newberry, told the court that in the
current crofi control program he had
been forbidden to raise any cotton
His story was corroborated by the
Newberry officer who arrested him.
“It’s unbelievable,” Judge Watkins
said, “but then there are many unbe
lievable things happening in this
country ’ today.”
He turned to the open court:
“Gentlemen,” he said, “I ask you to
consider this case. The government
has forbidden this man to raise a
crop to feed his family. I cannot find
it in my heart to send this man to
the penitentiary. I sentence you to
one year’s probation,” the judge con
cluded.

Barcelona, Spain, Oct. 6. —(AP)
Julio Alvarez del Vayo, Spanish gov
ernment foreign minister, declared
today that government Spain was de
termined to avoid the fate of Czecho
slovakia and to fight until the coun
try is “Free from £p£jugn invasion.”
In an address* prepared for inter
national broadcast, the foreign min
ister asserted:
“The terrible and monstrous experi
ence of what has taken place in Eu
rope within the last few days has in
creased the Spanish people’s resolu
tion not to permit Spain to be sacri
ficed to the policy of capitulation.”
“This policy of capitulation,” he
said, “menaces the existence of small
nations and places European demo
cracies in ever-increasing danger of
disappearing.
(Spanish government spokesmen
in Paris said a plan to divide Spain ,
into two nations, one a democracy
and the other a dictatorship, had
been broached to the government and
rejected.
(The plan, which they indicated
was brought up by “certain powers at
the four-power Munich accord, which
decided on partition of Czechoslova
kia, was said to have been a part of
international discussions aimed at end
ing the Spanish civil war as part of
a general European settlement. Italy
and Great Britain are negotiating in
an, effort to put into effect the Anglo
lalian friendship pact of April 16„
which hinges on settlement of the
Spanish question, presumably involv
ing withdrawal of Italians fighting
with Spanish insurgents. Government
Spain is evacuating foreign fighters in
its armies.

Battle For
Farm Region
Washington, Oct. 6. —(AP)—lnform-

{Democrats would make an extra

retain their political strength in the
Midwest farm belt.
This was the significance read into
James A. Farley’s cautious press con
ference statement yesterday that the
Democrats traditionally have been
stronger in industrial states because
of their labor policies.
Thus, the Democratic national chair
man replied to a question as to
whether the Democrats were losing
ground in the farm states. It was be
lieved that as a result of the condi
tions his statement implied there
would be a determined Democratic
effort to hold all congressional and
gubernatorial offices which the party
now controls in the section.

Britain Now

Settlement of Differ

sources said today Great Britain had
submitted proposals for an accord
with Italy in the fourth successive
daily call by Lord Perth, British am
bassador, on Foreign Minister Galeaz
zo Ciano.
Details of the plan to make effec
tive immediately a settlement of An
glo-Italian differences were not as
certained. Since the Angfo-Italian
Easter agreement was made condi
tional upon the withdrawal of Italian
forces from Spain, it was believed the
British government might have pro
posed to Italy to Withdraw at least
some of thS infantry men fighting for
Insurgent General Franco in Spain.
Premier Mussolini was expected to
lay the plan before the Fascist grand
council when it meets tonight. Some
thought the council might meet sev
eral days, and Aie announcement of
the decision of an Anglo-Italian
agreement might follow.
