" PAJUS, Nov. 8 UJ.R) - Vice Pre-
mier J.eon Blum today warned It-
aly Hnd Ueimany that if bad will
or obstructionist tactics impede i j.lV
withdrawal of foreign troops from
croi
Spain, France must open lier
Spanish frontier.
The radical socialist congress,
which Blum, voted for continuation
of Socialist participation in the
jrovernment of Premier Camille
Chautempa, defeating an extremist
motion which demanded the resig-
nation of Socialist ministers.
The ovte ended threat of break-
lip of the popular front, an amal-
gamation of the Communist, So-
cialist and leftist parties.
After Blum finished speaking,
the congress voted reaffirmation of
a motion pasBed at the last social
congress in Marseilles in which the
party approved abandonment of
non-intervention of this policy does
not prove practical.
Blum called for close cooperation
among France, Soviet Russia and
Britain agianst the so-called "Fas-
cist bloc" in the maintenance of
European peace.
"The Spanish question must be
explained as part of the interna-
tional situation which is causing us
wave preoccupations," he said. "At
present itis most important not to
do anything capable of weakening
the Franco-Soviet pact.
.(''We are in almost the same posi-
tion as in 1914 when the necessity I
for French democracy was to a-
chieve a reapprochment between
England and Kussia. The most im-
portant thing that we can do now
to promote peace is to achieve
trusting relations between Soviet
Russia and England.
"We arc faced by a new holy al-
liance. '
"The totalitarian states are in-
tervened to aid the development of
certain social and political princi-1
plies. We have the choice of balanc-
ing" Fascist intervention by inter-
vention on theo ther side or by at-
tempting to obtain non-interven-
tion by all.

ager, said yesterday. Some of
these employers wanted special
types of workers. The employment
service files were searched for
workers who could meet the re-
quirements, and when those could
qualify were elected, they were
referred to the employer for in-

There was the employer who
needed extra saleswomen on Sat-

some laborers to do M'heel barrow

by the employment service in
