PARIS, Feb. 18. - (P) - France

Africa and put them on the alert to-

French troops established garrisons
in a strategic 12 mile strip of coastal
territory between French Somaliland

once ceded to Italy.

uary after the territorial issue with
Italy had developed.
Italians are known to have 60,000
troops in Libya against about 35,000
French soldiers in Tunisia. Military
experts, however, rate Tunisia's de-
fensesas strong enough to repel at-
tack by forces numerically much
larger.
Reinforcements for the fortified
line facing Libya have been moving
from Tunis since Thursday. Forty-
four warships of the French Mediter-
ranean fleet have been in the Tuni-I
sian port of Bizerte since yesterday.
The area France formally occupied
north of Djibouti covers only about'
308 square miles but is of great value
for control of the Bab El Mandeb
Straits, through which warships have
to pass to reach the gulf of Aden from
the Suez Canal and Red Sea.

Of Democrats
Party Falls Under Aegis
Of Murray Van Wagoner
FLINT, Feb. 18.-()-Michigan
Democrats abandoned the leadership
of former Gov. Frank Murphy, the
State's No. 1 exponent of the New
Deal, and fell in line under the Aegis
of Highway Commissioner Murray
D. Van Wagoner today.
In their spring convention here
they overrode demands of other fac-
tional leaders for election of a "com-
promise" State chairman and choseI
Van Wagoner's candidate, Charles S.
Porritt of Detroit, to lead the party's
campaign in Michigan in 1940.
Among the convention's chief ac-
tivities was the nomination for the

sity, open in the coming election, of

CHICAGO, Feb. 18-QP)-The Chi-

Big Ten Conference, upset 'Michigan,

Although Tom Harmon,' Michiganj

baskets to share scoring honors with
Chicago's Joe Stampf, the visitors
were unable to subdue the bottomj
rung team, which won its second
Conference victory of the season.
Chicago held a lead of 18 to 16
at halftime and at no time in the9
game was there a difference of more
than five points between the teams.

Michigan Wrestlers Take
Fourth Victory
Paced by the indomitable quartet of

ols, and Forrest "Butch" 'Jordan,
Michigan's undefeated Big Ten
wrestling champions took their fourth
straight victory of the year by swamp-
ing the Michigan State Spartans, 29
to 3, last night at the Field House.
Mericka, at 136, the Nichols broth-
ers at 145 and 175, and Jordan at
heavyweight, accounted for their
fourth triumph in as many starts by
turing back what proved to be a
feeble Michigan State challenge.
In their first meet since a success-
ful trip through the east at the end
of last semester, the Wolverines were

all but invincible as they won seven
out of eight matches in truly con-
vincing fashion. They took the lead

Authorize Great Britain
And France To Negotiate
Peace With Nationalists
Impotency Of Navy
Brings New Decision
PARIS, Feb. 18 -()- Spanish
Government officials said tonight
that the Madrid Government had
authorized France and Great Britain
to negotiate its surrender to the
Nationalists on the sole condition that
there would be no reprisals against
former Government fighters and
sympathizers.
These officials, closely identified
with Spanish Government President
Manuel Azana, said French and Brit-
ish representatives at Burgos had
been instructed to present to Gener-
alissimo Franco's Government the
offer for peace in the two and one-
half-year old civil war.
The French Government, acting
through a special envoy at Burgos,
sought quick settlement of the war
and repatriation of about 380,000
civilians and soldiers now refugees in
France.
Hodgson Arrives In Spain
Sir Robert M. Hodgson, British
agent in Nationalist Spain, arrived at
St. Jean De Luz tonight from Burgos,
the Nationalist capital, following a
reported conference with Nationalist,
officials on the Government's proposi-,
tion.
Sir Robert talked at length with
Nationalist Foreign Minister Count
Franciscb Gomez Jorda at Burgos be-
fore leaving for the French border
town to confer with representatives
of his Government.
Whether he bore Franco's answer
was not known but it was understood
he conferred t immediately with the
British Foreign office in London by
telephone.
Officials of the French Foreign
office said France and Britain had
informed the Nationalists that their
diplomatic recognition of Franco's
government would not be contingent
on granting assurances to the Span-
ish Republican Government against
reprisals.
Azana Ready To Return
The negotiations followed an un-
successful attempt after thie fall of
Barcelona to arrange peac in the
Spanish conflict.
The difference now seemed to be
that France and Britain were back-.
ing the Madrid Government's sole
condition for surrender on their own
account.
Spanish Government officials here
declared Azana was ready to return
to Spain if an accod were possible
and his presence w"~ necessary to
carry 'it out.
The peace offer was made through
Azana by Foreign Minister Julio Al-
varez Del Vayo, who returned to
Madrid today.
It was believed Alvarez Del Vayo's
long conversation here with French
Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet con-
vinced Spanish Government officials,
who now hold only one-fozrth of
Spain, that no help would be forth-
coming for further fighting from
either France or Britain.
Azana Had Refused
The granting of the Goveriment's
wishes for assurances from Franco
of no reprisals appeared to be the
answer to the whole question of
whether peace was imminent in
Spain.
Previous Government conditions
that Franco dismiss foreign soldiers
from the country and set up a regime
free of foreign influence appeared
to have been satisfied through Na-
tionalist assurances to Britain.
Alvarez Del Vayo previously 'had

attempted to convince Azana that
he should return to the fighting zone
since he was chief of the Spanish
state.
Azana consistently had refused, de-
claring he would do nothing to con-
tinue the bloodshed.
Government 'General Miaja's in-
spection of the Government fleet at
Cartagena Friday was said by Azana's
aides to have been a severe disap-
pointment to the Republican Govern-

Explains Concept Of Space
From Four Viewpoints
During Morning Talk
A plea for intellectual honesty, for
logical methods of thought in arriv-
ing at a decision as to the existence
®r non-existence of God, was voiced
last night by Bertrand Lord Russell,
noted British author and philosopher,
before an overflow crowd of 2,000 in
the Graduate School Auditorium.
Presenting the agnostic point of
view in the first of a series of three
lectures on "The Existence and Na-
ture of God," sponsored by the Stu-
dent Religious Association, Lord
Russell declared that if the individual
thinks rationally, if there is a logical
basis for his belief, the character of
the belief is unimportant. On the basis
of logical, rational thought methods,
he said, he could arrive only at a
negative answer to the question,
"Does an omnipotent and beneficient
God exist?" In the light of all the
suffering, misery and stupidity in the
the world today; when one considers
the unjust suffering inflicted upon
innocent human beings, one can ar-
rive logically only at a conclusion
that if a God exists, he is a struggling,
bungling God, working with incom-
plete materials, subject to substantial-
ly the same limitations that the mor-
tal is.
This is the sort of a God, Lord
Russell declared, whose existence is
sometimes justified on the basis of
