Mussolini, scouting the idea of war,
said: Since neither Greece nor
Jugo- Slavia can, and Italy doesn't
intend to make war, the DOGGY van
ishes into thin air." If Greece can't
fight where does Mussolini get his
excuse for bombarding Corfu? And
by the way he did this ostensibly be-
cause someone killed several Italian
subjects and in the doing of it wan
ton15 killed sixteen orphan children
bathing on the shore, these children
being wards Of the American Red
Cross. The same logic under which
Mussolini assumed the right to bonn
bard Corfu would warrant the United
States in bombarding Italian ports.
And why pick" on a country that
cannot fight back?

JAPAN'S ORDEAL

Reports of the agonies which
Japan is undergoing are beyond the
conception of those living in tranquil
scenes. Powers of description are
inadequate among those who witness
One experiences a deadening sensa-
ton in the reading. How Supplying
must be the effect on those who see
and hear. Masses of that gentle
hammered people. whom experience
has imbued with apprehension of
earthquakes, quietly going about
their affairs. some praying in the
temples to the gods to whom they
look for protection, feel the earth
sinking or rising under their feet,
crashing down about them, some
trapped in burning structures, some
going down with broken bridges or
falling walls, land horror heavy on
every mind" that isn't paralyzed.
The call to relief is such as never
before was sent out. Although we
are now told the original reports
were magnified. that the damage and
resulting loss of life are not as ap-
palling as at first represented, yet the
catastrophe probably will be found
to be the greatest that ever has in
stantly befallen a people within the
range OF history. Certainly never
has more tremendous appeal to the
human heart been made with such
instant insistence. The prides, the
prejudices holding the white and the
yellow races apart in time of peace,
become as the merest trivialties in
this hour of the latter's supreme
agony.
Such events are usually magnified
at first, rays of welcome light break
through the cloud in which they are
enshrouded; destruction is usually
found to be less than feared.
1.-THE fercest agonies have shortest
reign,
And after dreams Of horror. cones
again
The welcome morning with its rays
of peace"
But peace in this instance must be
materially different in Japan from
some of the conditions of that which
preceded it. While it is said the
steel and cement structures, which
have been built in that country to
meet the demands of the manufac-
tuning interests, withstood the quake
much better than was supposed and
so radical change in manufacturing
methods may not be required, never
theless the scars may not easily be
removed and conditions which were
depressing in the way of lack of en-
ployment and labor unrest will prob
ably become more complicated for a
time. The impetus of rebuilding
may afford some relief in this re-
spect. Assuredly Japan, for time,
will be more engrossed with her own
than with her neighbors' affairs, but
to assume she will not eventually be
stronger because of this ordeal
would be contrary to experience.

fact that receipts at domestic primary

Increased inquiry for -four was re-
