S. policy toward the totalitarian states. Whether that would make our participation in the next world war unavoidable is a topic that is being debated fiercely by all manner of theorists but it cannot be settled save in the infallible test-tub- e of Time. POLITICAL OUTLOOK HIGHLIGHTS , (Continued from page 2) type be justified as essential tools of the national defense? Why do we net build, instead, small fast ships with a relatively short cruising range, sufficient in number and power to defend our coasts but not to fight in foreign waters? Is it possible, they conclOde, that the unspoken purpose behind the current program is the creation of a U. S. fleet primarily designed for and capable of fighting in the China seas or the Mediterranean? There is no definite answer to these questions now but they are indicative of the confusion that exists in the minds of the people. Even more important, perhaps, is the attitude of the State Department toward European troubles an attitude that has received a great deal less interpretation than a subject of such moment deserves. Apparently the day is over when representatives of great governments could sit down, argue differences, arrive at agreements and go home, with all concerned knowing that the agreements would be kept, at least until some crisis arrived which made one of the participants feel that it was necessary to sacrifice principle to expediency. The U. S. State Department at the present time doesnt say it in so many words but it obviously feels that the words, treaties and promises of the belligerent powers Germany, Japan and Italy cannot be trusted. There are two concrete examples of this which are not widely known. A few months ago the Japanese government intimated that it was again ready to discuss a treaty for the limitation of capital fighting ships and the U. S. government offered no encouragement. And for two years. Hitler has periodically proposed an agreement among the great powers to ameliorate some of the evils of war, such as the unrestricted use of submarines and the ruthless bombing of civilian centers and again this government has turned a deaf ear to the suggestion. It is, of course, almost unthinkable to blame the U. S. government for this attitude. The .dictators in who agreed to the Spanish revolution have all but made a Franco victory certain by sending him apparently unlimited quantities of men, planes, cannons, and other essentials of war and Japan, which now, burdened under a staggering debt, might wish to slow down the world naval building race, was the first to violate the previous naval building treaty. The State Departments attitude is simply an indication of the difficulties of carrying on old diplomacy in a world where the devalues have been so' largely non-interventi- on w-a- s by-prod- - COMMERCIAL BULK STATION Special Interests In Salt Lake City Put up a terrific fight against better schools and economic security for labor in Utah, when they fought Constitutional Amendments 1, 2 and 3. Arrayed against the schools and labor were the apartment house owners trust, the daily newspaper trust, and all other selfish ahd special interests. Regardless of this stubborn opposition Amendment No. 1 has apparently carried, and No. 2 and 3 received a large vote all over the state, outside of Salt Lake county. We are proud of the large vote. It shows that there are thousands of voters in Utah who do not swallow the kept press propaganda. We have reason to be proud of the im-- '' mense favorable vote Utah Labor News was the only newspaper of general circulation supporting the amendments arid urging the people to vote for them.
