Efforts for Spain nonintervention face limits
A broad plan to nudge the United States into a neutral pact over the Spanish Civil War faces weak prospects as France and others press Washington. William Phillips, acting secretary of state, says US policy remains noninterfering while declining to aid warring nations. Franco gains air support from Germany and Italy as Madrid battles for control in San Sebastian and surrounding passes. Meanwhile, discussions on corn and wheat plantings, crop insurance, and fiscal reforms outline a cautious path toward price stability and debt reduction.

Roosevelt Relief Plan Tests Republican Proposal In 1930s
President Roosevelt quietly launches a relief experiment using 22.7 million dollars in Public Works Administration funds for direct grants to states with a 45 percent federal and 55 percent local share. Local communities must commit to employing 100 percent relief labor and only then can projects like schoolhouses and water systems receive funds. The plan mirrors core Republican aims on state led relief but raises questions on merit based administration and potential political patronage. Also notes a diplomatic quirk where King Victor Emmanuel holds both king of Italy and emperor of Ethiopia titles amid Mussolini’s era toying with regional sovereignty.
