Carlyle. 4 f t - For more than two years, American newspapermen, diplomats, business men, and all sorts and conditions of visitors have been describing nazi penetration into South America. From the hysterical reports that Germany was about to take over the whole continent by telephone, to the pooh-poo- h reassurances that they werent really getting anywhere, there have been rports of all degrees of No report has ever denied that the nazis are there, doing w'hat they can. Over this somewhat murky picture the story of the frustration by timely Bolivian action of a putsch there by nazi sympathizers illumines like a flash of lightning. tor-ridit- y. potential Bolivia is a country which has powerful German influence. The Bolivian army was German trained. Officers from Germany who helped train and direct it in the Chaco war remained afterward. Many young Bolivian army officers have sentimental and professional attachment not only to things German, but to things nazi. That in the very face of all these facts, the Bolivian government had the courage to kick out the German minister and arrest squads of powerful and influential people, argues that it felt the menace wras very real. Bolivia mov- ed first. The South American situation sums up to this: In no country is there a people, or even a large popular minority, which likes or wants nazism. But in almost every country there is a small and powerful minority of army men and reactionaries who do admire the nazi regime, and who will be so inflated by final nazi success in the war that they are almost certain to grasp for power immediately. In certain countries they might wrell succeed. Bolivia Wras one of them, and hence Bolivia has shown both wisdom and courage in squelching the conspiracy before some signal from Europe gave it the It boils down to this: If nazism is defeated and discredited in Europe, it will gain no foothold in the Americas. If it is successful, no country will ever be safe from the kind of outbreak which Bolivia has just squelched. d.

But then that pronouncement is old so old. It is so old and commonplace I almost ashamed to repeat it. trutii are real and lead to the only happiness. Man today is trying to cover love and truth with complacency, sophistication, steely logic, and a Machiavellian practice of might makes right. Man is hooting at and accepting You can Bismarcks statement: do anything In the world with bayonets except sit on them." Only man isnt accepting the fact that someday he'll HAVE to sit on his bayonets. Maybe when that time comes, though, he'll turn to a love and a practice of Gods teachings. Bombs and shells can wreck every monument of civilization, stated one sage. But they cannot build a new world. It is faith and truth and justice that lie at the foundations of life. These things bombs cannot create. And these they cannot destroy. The faith that builds the cathedral is greater than the cathedral. And it can live on when the cathedral is destroyed.
