Spain, waking from long lethargy, leth-argy, Is swept by riots, jails stormed and set afire. Rioting and rebellion In South America; Amer-ica; will our friendly feeling compel us to at- Ar(hur Brisbane tempt strnight- ening that out? Rioting In Paris and sabotage on English men-o'-war. Nations fight, classes fight, labor unions fight, and even men of the same religion fight. Washington wonders what TVA will do with the Supreme court letting government enter the business busi-ness of producing and selling power. Some suggest putting power on every farm, regardless of distance or cost, as rural mail delivery is put on every farm. If every home Is entitled to government gov-ernment mall delivery, every farm should be entitled to government power delivery on the same basis. That would mean business for copper cop-per companies, more running water in cow barns, more irrigated garden patches, more electric light after sundown In chicken coops. Charles M. Schwab, seventy-four, still specializes In optimism, like the man who went to the race track, lost every cent, but escaped death In the railroad wreck. Mr. Schwab says labor conditions are the best in 56 years. He should know; he began as a laborer and did not get $5, or $3, or $2 a day. Industry he calls a "three-legged stool." Capital, Cap-ital, labor, management are the three legs. Put Charles M. Schwab back where he was 50 years ago, the same as then, in age and energy, and he would soon be at the head of a great industry. Who does not believe It does not know Schwab. Russia, trying everything, experiments experi-ments with a steam-propelled turbine tur-bine plane for stratosphere flights. At such heights water boils at half the temperature necessary at sea level. The exhaust steam after heating the plane would be recovered recov-ered 90 per cent. Two years ago William and George Bessler, in Los Angeles, built and flew a plane with a steam engine. There is still much to learn about flying. Uncle Sam, convinced that he is his brother's keeper, after all, wants a peace agreement among all American Ameri-can republics. Beautiful. But If any republic decides de-cides to fight, anyhow, it is to be hoped this country will not become arbitrator. "Judge not that ye be not judged," is sound advice. We can no more decide the right and wrong of a row between Mussolini Mus-solini and England, or Chile and the Argentine, than we could between be-tween the two Kilkenny cats. It Is pleasing to learn from George Washington university of a new and "refreshing" preparation that makes possible childbirth "during "dur-ing sound sleep" without pain. More and better children, bigger population, is what the world needs with gradual elimination of the hopelessly Inferior race by absorption, or voluntary extermination. Poor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, waiting for the rainy season to expel ex-pel the Italians, suddenly found his army of 80,000 driven hither and thither, and two other armies under un-der two of his ablest "rases," 'sent scattering Into the jungle. Seventy thousand Italians seizin-a seizin-a mountain fort that Ethiopia thought Impregnable started the Mussolini kind of "rainy season" with bombs from the sky. This time Mussolini used his own white Italian Ital-ian soldiers, not his native trooos from Eritrea. Chancellor Hitler announces : "We have solved the problem of producing produc-ing synthetic gasoline and rubber" How good are the synthetic fuel and rubber; how cheap? These things will come, for science In the material world can do everything better than nature can do it Fuel will be created, and liylng machines, too, as far above today's product as electric light is above whale oil, and the airplane above the ox-cart. New Jersey high schools will give courses in "safe automobile driving," a good Idea. All school boys should learn about automobiles and airplanes. iB Kln Fcntwri Syndicate, Ino WNU Service. |
