At this distance it seems that Josef Stalin, dictator of Niviet Russia, will be the man to fire the starting pistol; and he is reported to be convinced that anI other great conflict is unavoidable. The nations of the continent are lining up as Communist or Fascist, either in tlie constitution of their governments or in their active sympathies. Tlie immediate occasion for their disputes is the civil war in Spain. Nearly all the continental governments and that of Great Britain joined in an agreement of nonintervention, but that pact is about played out. Russia, accusing Portugal, Germany and Italy of aiding the Fascist Spanish rebels, has denounced the agreement and declared she reserves freedom to help the Madrid government; the accused nations deny the Soviet charges, and the nonintervention committee voted that Italy and Portugal were not guilty, the accusations either not being proved or referring to what happened before the international agreement went into effect. Italian countercharges, detailing 20 alleged acts of Russian aid to Spanish Socialists were laid before the committee for action. Portugal severed diplomatic relations with the Madrid government, and the representatives of the two countries were recalled. Dr. Monteiro, Portuguese foreign minister, followed up this action by sending to Lord Plymouth, British chairman of the nonintervention committee, a long document accusing Russia of having planned and brought about tlie Spanish civil war. He named the Russian diplomats, agitators and soldiers who, he charged, were directing the operations. He alleged that Moscow sought to start a revolution in Portugal and thus provide a base for attacking General Francos insurgent forces in the rear. Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy have buried their differences for the time being and reached an agreement on a united policy. This waa outlined in a communique published after Italian Foreign Minister Gale-azz- o Ciano had conferred with Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler. In the first place Hitler and Mussolini inform the world that they intend to recognize the insurgent government headed by General Franco as the legitimate regime in Spain, but they promise to respect the terms of the nonintervention agreement. Other important declarations of policy by the two states are: 1. to protect the the holy peace of Europe and riches of European civilization and family life. 2. Endorsement of a conference to rewrite the Locarno pact guaranteeing European borders, but only in the west. This implied that neither would agree to Soviet Russias presence at the meeting. for the rehabilita3. tion of the Danubian countries. In one clause of the agreement Germany recognizes Italy's sovereignty over Ethiopia. Ar-min- of POPULAIRE, the organ Socialist party, alleges that a shipment of submachine guns from the United States has been added to the secret armaments of the Croux de Feu in preparation for a civil war in France. The Croix de Feu, a Fas- cist organization headed by Col. Francois de la Rocque, waa dissolved recently by the government and was succeeded by the new Social party. Populaire, referring to the submachine guns, said these "terrible weapons used by American gangarrived from America sters through the port of Havre and through Holland. The paper added that the weapons are being planted in caches in Normandie and elsewhere in the north of France. Furthermore, according to Populaire, great quantities of tear gas bombs and tear gas pistols are arriving from Germany for the use of the Fascists. talking PREMIER MUSSOLINI, said that Italy's olive branch grows out of an immense forest of 8.000.000 bayonets; and next day at Iniola he told 70,000 listeners that he hoped for Jong periods of peace, but not for eternal peace, which is absurd and impossible."

A million years ago, when our ancestors went out Becking something to eat, preferably some feeble human being easily killed, everybody walked. Now nearly everybody rides. Across George Washington bridge over the Hudson river, opened five years ago, about human beings have crossed in 31,000,000 automobiles, while fewer than 1,000,000 have crossed on foot. Busses alone carried 11,638,000 over the bridge. 00 How rapidly progress moves once it starts! Seventy-fiv- e years ago, both sides of our country were connected by telegraph for the first time. Now men talk around the world by radio. Seventy-fiv- e years ago they only talked across the continent, now they fly the continent and on beyond, across the Pacific ocean. Those hostile to new ideas might' remember that a little more than seventy-fiv- e years ago men were beaten for to congress because, as the voters put it, they were foolish enough to vote money to experiment talking over wires. They were defeated for willingness to have the government try out Morse's electric telegraph idea. Berlin reports that German sellers must sell, and Germans must read, only books that the government thinks they ought to sell and read. The public will be compelled with "loving force to read what is good for them. That takes Germany back to the Seventeenth century, when the English government decided that Englishmen must read only what the government thought was good for them. All books must be submitted and wait for approval before printing. Along came a man named John Milton with his book the printed by him without anybodys permission, denouncing an infamous law that would control mens minds and freedom of thought.

England and other countries almost tearfully are begging both sides in Spain to exchange hostages instead of murdering them; the British government officially expresses the fear that women are in danger of wholesale massacre.
