Show War Possible in Europe i 11 e situation in Europe coatinuos ' ! tease, with Great Britain and Fiance naaiing it clear t.aat if Poland Po-land lists force to protest herself,; '.a ay will tive her ir.;.rediaie aid. ' Y-,ile Goiaran officals deny aaiy intention to- uie f:r;e in connection with Danzig, other powers fear some , overt act. In view cf the false stato-ments stato-ments made in connection with assistance as-sistance given to General Franco in .Spain, it is easy to understand the , doubts which arise in connection j ith Gerraan statements. j Lndo.'otecly, the situation in: Eur:pe is approaching a. Llao.vdtOwn. The nations .are arming for war and: storing supp lies for suoh an emer- gency. T e line-up is about completed com-pleted and all t.aat is necessary to set the guns going is an jttoir.pt by Germany or Italy to forcefully assert as-sert the claims that their responsible leaders continue to advance. Unfortunately, the action cf the Congress of toe United States, in connection with neutrality, is 'hailed with satisfaction in Germany and Italy. The 'prospect tia.at the supplies of this country will not be available to the democratic powers is encouraging en-couraging to the dictators. If toe Senate s; proves the House version of American neutrality and the dictators dic-tators becoime convinced that Great Britain and Fran'ee are barred from toying arms and munitions in the United States, they .may coove to the conclusion tr.iat the time to strike is favorable. Wihile the people of the United Slates have no inclination to beccl.re embroiled in a war in Europe, their iwerwhelming sentiment is in favor of Great Britain and France. In so far as intorna.tional law permits, it is the desire of the people of this country to aid the democracies in their struggle .against aggression. Any neutrality measure that operates operat-es to the aid of the aggressors is nait only contrary to American trafblic isentiment, but also injurious to the prospects for peace. |
