BARCELONA (WNS)—A second expulsion of thc Jews from Spain is one of thc cardinal points in the pro¬ gram of the Fascist rebels if, as and when they gain control of the Spanish government, it was revealed in secret documents found in the hoine of Cap- lain ¦ Lopez Varela, rebel leader in Barcelona, according to an announce¬ ment by the government of the province d£ Catalonia. Word of the discovery caused a shudder in Jewish drclcs here because of the fact that the papers, were found On July 30th> which is 444 years, to the day when the last Jews left Spain in. 1492 in accordance with the decree of expul¬ sion issued by Fcrdinaiid .and Isabella.
Other papers found, in Captain Varcla's home showed that.the Fascists plan to exile all Free-Masons, inter¬ nationalists and radicals and to set up a dictatorial regime tnodeled along the liniis of Nazi Germany.

Roosevelt Supports Jewish Homeland in Palestine
NEW YORK (WNS)—President ttooBevelt's interest in the rebuilding of Palestine is reiterated in a letter he has addrcBsbd to thc United Palestine Appeal for publication in that organiza¬ tion's Year Book, it was revealed here;. AddrcsBcd ta Grover A. Whalen, Honorary Chairman of the U, P. A. committee Bponsor- ing the Year Book, thc letter reads aa follows:;
"We nieed from time to time to renew oiir faith in thoae eternal verities which are and which muat foirover remain the bases of human betterment. First among these is thc common aspiration of mankind to seek communion, with thb Great Ruler of Human Destiny and next is the love of th^ homeland, which is a nd,tural aspiration of our devotion to family life.
"The interest which I have had and have'frequently mani¬ fested in the rebuilding of the ancieitt Jewish homeland is, I am persuaded, an interest which is shared by all who recognize that every people has thc inalienable right to life, liberty and thc pur-. suit of haptiiiiess. It is a source of renewed hope and courage that, by the international accord and by the moral support of the , peoples of thc world, men and women.of Jewish faith have a right to rcBCttle thc land where their faith was born and ^rom which much of our modern civilization has emanated."
In another letter received by the Year Book committee Gov¬ ernor Herbert H. Lehman of New York declares that the economic ; and spiritual developtnent of Palestine "is of greatest significance today because it promises to uphold and fortify civilization in its faith in the ancient ideals of justice, tolerance and charity" in these troubled times.

JERUSALEM (VVNS—Palcor Agency)—The sixteenth week of vio¬ lence and teri-or in Palestine has brought with it the same uneasiness and destruction that inarked the first week of the disturbances, despite the fact that Great Britain has appointed a Royal Gommission to investigate the disorders. The' Arabs,' who consid¬ ered the Royal Comniission over the week-end, have split'up in their' at¬ titude toward it, some favoring it, but the majority being opposed^to the nam¬ ing of, thie Commission. ,,.
The mysterious slaying of Yehuash Zoller and Yitzhak''Klishevsky, two young Jewish Watchmen .who were found dead in the vicinity or Yokhneara near Haifa, brought the toll of Jewish victims tq 50 on. the 106th day of the organized Arab campaign oi violence and sabotage.. ¦   .
Following a fire, and rifle attack on the oil pipeline of the Iraq Petroleum Company; the authorities have estab-' lished rigid ciirfew; regulations in the area from Tamrah in the. north near Nazareth to the Jordan River. Cur¬ few will be in force from 6:30 in the evening to four in the morning 200 metres on each side of,the pipeline. The line has been: damaged by sabo¬ teurs more than half a'dozen times in the past fortnight. The Transjordan Government issued new laws'for the defense of telephone and telegraph lines and the pipe lirtfrqf the Iraq Petroleum Company! fqllpwing several attempts in past few weeks to sabotage them.
Tense excitement gripped Haifa as Ar^b radicals forced the closing of all mosques to prevept tlie burying by Moslem ritual of Ahmed Naif, famous ¦Palestine "G-man" who was shot and killed in fronts of a mosque here by Arabs. Naif, a 39-year old constable, ha:d been famous for a number of years as one of the most competent ihvesti- igators in the country, being, especially
noted for, his uncovering , of Arab gangsters. His ii'on was also wounded when a barrage {of .bullets felled hirii front of the mosque.. Naif was slain because of t)is recent activities in rounding up the leaders in Arab ter¬ rorism. The chief mourners at Najf's funeral vfCre his fellow British and Jewish poliize officers. Despite the re¬ fusal of Arab extremists to permit his burial according^to the Mohammedan ritual, the funeral passed off quietly without additionatl disturbance.
A memorandum, was sent to all Dis¬ trict Coinmissioners by the Jewish set tiers of the Valley of Jezreel, and the Galilee and Shalron districts demand¬ ing the removal of Arab ofiicials and clerks who recently signed, an Arab petition to the High Commissioner en¬ dorsing the demands of Arab agitators. Expressing a lack bf trust in these oifficials, the Jewish agricultural, set¬ tlements declare that they do not want to deal, with tliem because they can no longer have any cqnfidence in their obligations to the Government. A sim¬ ilar, memorandum was also sent to the' Government by the Jewish Agency foi* Palestine, which requested that the- Arab officials who openly aligned them' selves with the instigators of the dis orders be replaced by Jewish official and clerks or by Arabs who did not sign the Arab' memorandum .to the High Commissioner.
Internal dissension and bitter con¬ flict among Arab leaders broke up the meeting of the Arab High Com.mittee before it could reach any decision' on the question of ending the lOB-dsy-old strike or formulate a definite attitude toward the Royal Commission named to inquire, into'the causes of the Arab disturbances. From the beginning of its. sessions the Arab High Commit¬ tee-was torn by sharp disagreements that frequently gave rise to fierce de¬ bate.    .   !
LOS ANGELES (WNS)—Amer¬ ica will ha^'c pogroms in thc near fu¬ ture, and "pogroin means simply 'open' season on Jews,'" William Dudley Pelley, leader of the silver-shir ted Christian Party, told COO memb"ers of the German-American Folk Union at a meeting here in the course of a speech in which he: traced the '.'schemes" of Jews to "Judai'ze the world" before 1040. Expressing his full sympathy with the Nazi move¬ ment in Germaiiy and eulogizing the anti-Semitic' sentiments of Hitler, whom he declared to have been chosen by God as, the savior of the German people, Pelley announced to his listen- that he too had been divinely chosen to save a great nation—Amer¬ ica—from the Jews.
Among the details he cited of the "Jewish plot" to capture America, which he declared was hatched in li)OJ>, was the bringing about of the world war, which, he said, "was cut and,dricd by this group before it ever started, -It Was their scheme for the Gentiles to Icill olT each other." ' He further explained that the appointment of Louis. Brandeis tq the Supreme Court bench was the price Woodrow Wilson had Jo pay for "indiscretions" committed with a Jewish woman; that Harding was made President by the Jews in .order to facilitate their loot¬
ing of the Treasury; that Hoover's Jewish batkcrs made him bring about tlio depression in order to give them an opportunity to put in thcir "key man"; and that the present adminis¬ tration is "Red, Jewish and Coinmu- nistic." He charged the President, whom he called "Frankly Destructivt Roosevelt," with .having "put a crew of Jewish auditors to Work in the base¬ ment of thc treasury rewriting the books Of this country,'' and declared that truthful ftews could not be ex¬ pected from the Associated Press be¬ cause, according to. the Pelley figures, 7it per cent of its New York personnel is Jewish. Whether Roosevelt or Lan¬ don is elected in November, he said, makes no difference, as JeWs are back¬ ing both. \ \
Pronouncing himself the savior of Anierita in this emergency, Pelley de¬ clared that the crisis would corne in a few months and would find his Sil¬ ver Shirts ready to. take over the lead¬ ership of the nation and put an entl ,to. "Jewish control."
A report of this speech was read, at a .meeting of the' Hollywood Lcagiic, against Nazism, which was addressed, by Eddie Cantor and Prince and Princess zu Lqwensleiq. Cantor, who told of being forced to hire a body¬
guard because of anti-Semitic threats against him, spoke also of the banning of his films by thc Nazis. , Prince ana/ Princess Lowenstein, exiles from Nazi' Germany, told of restrictions against personal  liberties  in Germany  today and of the war-like tactics oi Chancel¬ lor Hitler.   The meeting dispatched a . resolution to President Roosevelt, At¬ torney. General  Cummings, Governor Merrlam of .California   and   District   , Attorney Fitts of Los Angeles calling on  them  to  investiga:te tin-Anlerican activiticssuch as Pelley's.
The text of the resolution reads: "William" Dudley Pelley, in. a speech \ before 450 people in German Hall, Lo.-! Angeles, California, on Saturday, July 18, 1930, declared: 'The time has come for an. American Hitler, and for a pogrom!' . Pelley. spoke under the auspices of the so-called Christian Party, an affiliate of the Friends of New Germany; As freeborn citizens of the United States of America we, onbehalf of the people assembled here. ' this night in the . ^yilshire-Ebell Tlieatre, Lbs Angeles,, California, de¬ mand an immediate and sweeping iq- .vestigatidn^ of these criminally sub' versive tactics which, incite to riot, murder and crime. SwOrn evidence of these charges is being; forwarded to

LONPON (WNS—Palcor Agency) ^The Royal Cornmission to investi¬ gate the causes of the; Palestine dis¬ orders will have Earl'Peel, twice Sec¬ retary, of. State for India, as its chair- ihan, Colonial Secretary. Ormsby-Gorc announced in the. House of Commons. in naming the Comtnission.

Repeating that the Commission's in¬ quiry could not begin imtil order should have been restored in Palestine, the Colonial Secretary said-that con¬ sequently it was impossible to foretell when its report vyould be available.. . The. selection of Earl Peel as chair¬ man was attacked by Col." Josiah C. Wedgwood, Laborite, who accused him of being partisan to the Moslem cause; and who also asked why mefnbers of the House of Commons had been ex¬ cluded from membership on the Com¬ mission. Mr. Ormsby-Gqre replied that Earl Peel is noted for his im¬ partiality and that it was undesirable that either the Arabs or the' Jews should suspect any political aspect be¬ sides, that of including iepresentatives of all parties; he added that the. Com¬ mission would be enlarged to assure this, and that women had been ex¬ cluded because of religious objections.

NEW YORK (WNS)—An appeal that international action be taken by the League of Nations on behalf of group.s forced to.seek refuge from the Nazi government by fleeing from the Reich is contained in a petition made public .here and sponsored by a niimr ber of Jewish: and Christian groups. The petition is to be circulated among member, states of the League before its September plenary session, ¦ ,and supports the . letter . of , resignation issued by James G...McD9nald; former High Commissioner, for German ref¬ ugees, wheri he left his post last win¬ ter. : The groups sponsoring the peti¬ tion include the American Christian Coiiimittee for German Refugees, the American Jewish '..• Committee, B'nai B'rith, the Alliance Israelite Univer- selie, the Ligue des Droits.de rHomme ¦and similar societies. '
That the Nazi persecution of Jews, Catholics ..and other groups has given rise to an international situation, that calls for. League action becaiise many thousands of refugees have been forced to seek asylum in other countries is brought. out by- the petition, which emphasizes the obligation of the League to ."achieve international peace and security and tlic firm establish¬ ment of the understandings of'inter¬ national law as the actual rule of con¬ duct among governments." It h further pointed out that the German Government has violated its .pledg'e of June, 1010,. to treat minorities within its territory according tq the same principles as set forth in the League Minorities, Treaties.        v
The petition lists nine cases of kid- napings and murders of German .ref¬ ugees in other countries by Nazis .and calls attention to "a system of espion¬ age and terrorism directed against refugees from Germany and entailing the direct responsibility of the Ger man Government." tt also points out that' under the German Aryan laws innocent people are deprived of essen¬ tial and primaiY human rights.
As. precedents for the intercession fbr which it pleads, the petition cites a number of historical instances, be¬ ginning with the Peace of Augsburg, which, in 1555, guai;anteed freedom of worship to Protestants as well as Catholics in the German principalities. Other instances of international action for the protection of minorities are the representations made tb the Austrian Empress Maria Therosia by Great Britain and Holland when Jews wiere banished from Bohemia in 1744; the insistence of Prince Bismarck in 1878 that the newly established state of Roumania recognize the civil rights of Jews and other religious minorities; the famous note of John Hay, U. S. Secretary of State, in protest against Roumanian persecution of Jews m 1902; and the protest of the Powers at the Lausanne Conference in 1923 against the Turkish refusal to take back the Armenians Of Turkey.
In a chapter devoted to the inter¬ national legal aspects of the Nazi pol¬
icies the, petition states that under the rules of international law sovereignty, ends where the, rights of other states begin, and lists the following viola¬ tions by the German government of the' rights oi other States: The,influx of . thousands of individuals, forced to emi¬ grate from Germany, into.the terri- . tory of neighboring countries; the German'refusal to accord diplomatic protection to such persons, who there¬ fore M-e stateless mdividuals in foreign territory; ^ and acts, of violence in. foreign territory in an. attempt to ex¬ ercise extraterritorial Vcriminal juris- diction^:
Quoting the statement of. President, Harrison of the U.. S. in 1891, in speaking'' of - the policies then' pursued 'by the Russian, government against its . Jewish subject, the petition cites the following passage; "The banishment, whether by direct, decree or by ho less ¦¦ certain indirect methods, of so large a number; of meii. and women is not a local ..question. A decree to leave¦ one country is, in the nature of things, ari order to enter anotherT—some other. This consideration, as well as the sug¬ gestions of humanity, furnishes ample ground for the remonstrances which wc have presented to Russia.''      :
The efforts already made by the; League in regard tp the German ref¬ ugee situation are surveyed in the doc¬ ument, and the imperative need for further action is pointed out. . A re- , consideration of the problem is- there¬ fore requested,, on the grounds tliat it is international in its implications and requires the'intercession of the League of Nations. ,
