CHURCH MILITANT. BLACK

LACK CLOUDS of civil war are gathering fast

over Spain. The long-threatened storm, arising. from the conflict between the Church and the majority of the Republican leaders, is threatening to burst at any moment, the situation having been rendered more dangerous by widespread economic distress: Signs of coming battle were revealed clearly in the Cortes yesterday, when Senor Zamora and Sapor Miguel Maura broke with their Cabinet colleagues on a decision to expel all Jesuits from the country and to confiscate their property.

The Republican Government has not actually brok- en up. A new Cabinet has been formed with Senor Azana as Prime Minister and Senor Quiroga as Minister of the Interior. The remainder of the Zamora› Cabinet have elected to support the new Prime Minister,

Shanghai, Oct. 15. Japan's determination to pursue her policy in Man- ; churia is self-evident. It seems very doubtful if the League of Nations can settle the dispute in a manner satisfactory to China.

Thus Mr. Hu Han-min fast night in the course of an inter- view in which he expressed high hopes of a settlement of the Canton Nanking differences. Only by such a settlement and the presentation of a united front towards Japan, could, he said, produce the solution which the Chinese people desired.

A further consideration, illustrating the danger of serious disorders and possibly revolution, is contained in the fact that the proposed confiscation of Jesuit property will affect many important concerns which are hand-in-glove with them.
