Timely Pledge It is good to read Harry Hopkins' assurance that no person in actual need is going to be cut of the relief rolls this winter. In various cities the pruning-down of work rebel rolls was accomplished in a pretty hard-boiled manner, during the last few weeks. While it is unquestionably, true that a number num-ber of skulkers and shirkers were thereby removed from the public payroll, the plain fact remains that we still have an enormxw- number of unemployed people who are unable to find wbrk in private industry. It is iust as important now as it was in the very depths of the'depression to save these people from hunger and destitution. desti-tution. Mr. Hopkins' pledge that "no one in the United States who is in need of relief is going to be dropped" is a timely and much-needed reassurance.

But it is also true that there are large areas where the crowded people of these European countries might find room to live and grow if their countries would initiate friendly negotiations with those nations which need more people. Surely this is not impossible or impractical. Surely Italy could have negotiated settlement rights for her countrymen country-men in Ethiopia at iess expense than the cost of the war which she has waged, with its terrible loss of life. Surely thru commercial treaties and other internationally acceptable agreements those who are willing to leave their crowded home lands for new frontiers could find apportunity in South America.

Heroes, Martyrs BY X REPORTER In days of old when knights were dressed up like sardines in individual containers, it was considered con-sidered quite the thing to get bumped off on the field of honor, but not so hot to be cast to the lions or boiled in bubbling oil. And yet the individuals whose memories we still revere in these modern and irreverent days are not those who were pitted on the lance of a more fortunate adversary ad-versary or who had their metal derbies bashed in by an enemy's warclub No. the men and womenwe. think of as having made the high- est sacrifice possible are those who died silently, heroically, most j painfully those who carried an ide;l to its glorified conclusion. The Nanoleons. Alexanders and Qengis Khans are remembered by history, all right, for history has a way or keeping bloody names ai- ways in the foreground. But it is not of those "he the average human being thinks when he considers the truly great, whose lives and deaths he wishes wish-es he had the goodness and courage cour-age to emulate. Even in our modern, prosaic, muddy and ugly warfare, the soldiers sol-diers whose deeds strike the deepest chords in the human breast are those who go willingly willing-ly into grave danger to rescue a helpless comrade, or who dare death to save others who are otherwise doomed.

THOUeMT. Washington Merry-Go-Round Continued trom Fage One a series of the most powerful big guns in existence. It has elevators running far down to arsenals stocked to withstand a siege of months. But all that painstaking preparation prepar-ation is about to be rendered use less by one development, now recognised as plainly as the nose on your face by all those who have watched the Spanish revolution. It is this: In,, order to get German and Italian airplanes, aviators, and the munitions without which he would have been defeated long ago. General Franco has made the following promises: 1. Italy gets the Balearic Isles, strategically placed just inside the Mediterranean and capable of controlling con-trolling its western bottleneck in to the Atlantic. Germany gets the Spanish colonies in Africa, chiefly Spanish Morocco, which is directly oppo-sit oppo-sit Gibraltar, and capable of nullifying nul-lifying the power of the British batteries so carefully hidden inside the Rock. PROSTRATE SPAIN i jjj This deal is a proposition of "Heads Germany and Italy win: tails Spain loses." For even if General Franco is :ated--as is now beginning to appear likely Hitler and Mussolini Musso-lini will go ahead with the deal just the same. The only difference will be that instead of claiming Spanish colonies in payment for Ihe munitions they have given Franco, they will attempt to take them in the role of "protectors of Europe against Communism." A prostrate Spain, no matter which way the war goes, will be able only to protest. And it is doubtful that Britsfin, rapidly arming arm-ing but still unarmed, will risk war, even though the proud might of Gibraltar is punctured. Note: England always has wanted -the Balearic Isles and Spanish Morocco to remain in weak hands Spain. King Alfonso Alfon-so was decidedly pro-British, and an English princess also sat on the Spanish throne. More than once Spanish premiers wanted to relinquish barren Spanish Morocco, Moroc-co, but Alfonso and the British opposed. They opposed even such relinquishments to France, a friendly power. NO REAL. PEACE There is no question in the minds of impartial observers of the sympathies sym-pathies of the bulk of the Spanish people. They are overwhelmingly with the Spanish government. Furthermore, the use of black troops and the Foreign Legion which have borne the brunt of Franco's fighting has increased the bitterness against the Fascist revolutionaries. Finally, many Spaniards have come to realize that Franco is heavUy mortgaged to Hitler and Mussolini, and that if he wins Spain will have to pay a large bill. This has played a leading role in the tightening of the loyalist morale and vigor the last few weeks. Franco cannot possibly win now without direct Italian or German intervention and that would mean war in Europe. n, : jjj BUSY PORTUGAL, j One of the most prosperous ports in this part of Europe is Lisbon, capital of Portugal, which ety, it is no trick at all for the strange mechanism we call a human hu-man being to work itself up to a pitch, where violent death seems Insignificant as compared to ome weird goal that is sought.

Lisbon is one of the chief centers cen-ters for munition-running to Gen eral Franco and the Spanish Fas cists. It is only a stone's throw across the border and no one at the border pays any attention to what is being run across. Most interesting fact is that Portugal always has been domin ated by Great Britain, still is. The British, had they desired, probably could have stopped Portuguese gun-running long ago just as they were able to persuade the Portuguese to give them exclusive cable and aviation privileges in the Azores when they wanted to buck Western Union and Pan-American Airways. But during the early stages of the Spanish Revolution, possibly since then, one faction in the Brit ish government was. strongly pro-revolution. pro-revolution. Nothing was done to put down the arms traffic. Some of the British statesmen labored under the delusion that friendly King Alfonso might some back. Now it is too late for the British Brit-ish to halt the trade. : (Copyright 19S6, by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.) i STORIES IN I By I.

The cup from which Christ drank at the Last Supper had mystic power, so that when Amfortas, one of the knights, failed miserably in his attempt to end the s-P which some flower maidens hau over his brother knights, he received a wound that could not be healed. Only a "guileless fool," one innocent in-nocent of sin and-able to resist temptation, could save him. This "fool" was Parsifal, hero of the great opera that was written and composed by the German master, Richard Wagner. Wagner's story is based on efforts to tempt Parsifal, Parsi-fal, and the "fool's" victory over his seducers. The Holy Grail was enshrined in a halo of glory. Parsifal was worshiped by the faithful knights, Amfortas was healed and his enemies ene-mies were scattered. This opera is illustrated on the highest value of nine stamps issued is-sued by Germany in Wagner's honor, in 1933.

"So you want to fly to Honolulu, Hono-lulu, do you?" he said. "Sorry, but it's Ralph's turn to make the trip today." Kay, however, refused to be dissuaded. dis-suaded. The impulse to board the plane, to set off on such an utterly mad, reckless flight seemed the answer to all her unhappiness and worries. "It's your turn, Monte," she said. "Do it for me! We'll lock Ralph in his room and run away to the airport. We can say he was ill and that you'll take his place today." "Come on," he cried. "Let's go!" At Ralph's hotel, he left orders that the pilot was not to be disturbed. dis-turbed. They hurried off to the airport then Kay and Monte in high good humor, excited about their proposed adventure. Doris decided that the whole thing was out of her hands. Kay bought a ticket to Honolulu Hono-lulu and Monte reported 'to the operations division and was assigned as-signed Ralph's place in the crew of the Mariner. Almost in no time it was time to leave.

Bright Moments IN GREAT LIVES Charles V. king of Spain, was fond of talking of his conquests in battle, and one evening at dinner, din-ner, in the course of conversation, a certain Don Luis remarked to the king that he had employed a painter to paint a fresco on the ceiling of a room in his house, showing the French soldiers flying before the Spanish at the battle of Renti. "Not so," replied the king, when asked if this were not true. "Let the painter modify this, if he can, for it was no headlong flight, but an honorable retreat." mm m P- . L.

Was understanding of what she in-it in-it today that she had promised tended to do. t to take him to a movie? She knew her OWTl ncat now; And she thought of Ted, though ; she tried not to Ted, waking and finding her gone from the house, learning, as he must sooner or later, that she was running away. Was she was that it? Back at Ship's Harbor she could imagine Ted hearing Ralph's version ver-sion of Monte's guilt. Ralph could do nothing but say that Monte had promised to wake him on time. Ralph, of course, would be punished. pun-ished. She wondered what Ted would say about such a breach of discipline. Why, oh, why, had she gone out of her way to cause so much trouble? CHE looked around at the other passengers. There was the usual lot of international travelers, travel-ers, some of them prominent persons. per-sons. And there was one woman, swathed in white and heavily veiled, whose identity Kay recognized recog-nized instantly. It was Illah, the Oriental dancer, returning to Honolulu Hon-olulu after a single day on the mainland. Kay had an opportunity, through the long hours of the day ana night, to observe Illah closely. The Oriental had the seat closest to the radio room and she seemed to listen to every message that came in, sitting tensely when the rapid-fire crackling of code came out ox the land receiving set. Kay thought she saw Illah's hps moving, mov-ing, repeating words to herself. At other times Illah's regard seemed fixed on the chart room. Once, when she stood up, she passed a swift look over the captain's cap-tain's shoulder at the chart. Twice she questioned the second officer pilot about the ship's course. When he had gone down the aisle she made swift notations in a little book. Kay's alert mind began to correlate cor-relate places and events in Illah's life, and suddenly she sat up in her seat. Something seemed to warn her, "Illah is a foreign spy. She can't be trying to learn the secrets of operation on this line, for the ship is open to inspection. She must be after the secrets of Ted's invention, the gyropilot" Kay . had no way of knowing this. She smiled, realizing the suspicion was prompted by nothing noth-ing more than woman's intuition. And, too, she was supposed to be jealous of this woman! Was she. f Judge Stump Dear Judge: Did ;;ou ever hear of a" hoxer who, having been knocked out in the ring, suddenly comes to and asks, "What hit me?"

She would disembark at Honolulu Hono-lulu and wait for Ted. She would go to him and explain that it had been only a single night's lark und nothing more. She was sure he would understand this much. "VTONTE came back presently s and spoke briefly to her. He looked worried. He had lost his devil-may-care manner during the long hours of his watch. "Ted has ordered me off the plane at Honolulu to await instructions," in-structions," he told her. "The message came through on the ra- -dio just now." Kay sat up, her eyes wide. "Monte, they won't do anything to you!" He smiled and saluted with a gesture that was not as jaunty aj he intended. "Adventure in. the air!" he said. "Ted didn't say anything about me?" she asked. "No. Only company messages have come through thus far." Kay's heart sank. That was Ted, all right! The company meant everything to him. It was the- transpacific flight, and she was only his wife. But she knew now that she owed her loyalty both to Ted and to the air service. She resolved to try to get something on Illah as a spy. Kay was defending her own against the outside world. She was defending what was Ted's, and what belonged to the trans-Pacific trans-Pacific flight. She thought that perhaps Ted had been duped by Illah into giving giv-ing away the secrets of the gyropilot. gyro-pilot. That would explain everything every-thing the flirtation, Illah's appearances ap-pearances on the trans-Pacific route, the mystery of her movements. move-ments. She didn't know how Ted could have been so easily deped. He had successfully eliminated "the human element" in flying, but was he blind to the danger of people who might want to do him, personally, per-sonally, harm? Perhaps he was a victim of his own elaborate precautions. pre-cautions. Throughout the night she watched watch-ed Illah closely. (To Be Continued). |
