1SV4 is an awful lot of
parts of Europe
that is just sitting on what the old
time Orator used to call a Powder
Keg? Well it is.
We cant pick up a paper that from
one to hundred don't prophesy that
prosperity is just around the corner
But let me tell you that war is nearer
around the corner than prosperity
is. don't mean so much for us right
here. But | mean over in Europe.
That Russia is kicking up an awful
lot of dust, and Germany is harbor-
Ing a terrible lot of dissatisfaction,
That Hitler has got EN- all stirred up
over there. He made a speech last
week in which he advocated the
breaking of the Versailles Treaty
he said that it was made by a lot
Of old men, who most of them were
about ready to die, and now here
was a lot of young men grown up
and they had to carry all this bur-
den, for which they were not direct
ly to blame, and that it was only a
matter of time till they just would
ent do 1t, they would say, well
come on France, what are you 60
Ing to do about it? We cant be any
worse off If you come in and take
over our Country than we are now"
Then those little Balkan Nations,
they are like little mess of stray
Terriers anyhow, they just as well
be fighting as like they are. This
has been about the longest they have
ever been between wars. | see the
other day where Russia was just on
the verge of invading Roumania.
They have always had it in for them
and figured they only had to take a
couple Of days rations and rounds of
ammunition and go over and take
that Country anyhow.
Russia and Poland are always on
the verge of war. remember when
l was over in both countries In the
summer of &c, why they were growl-
ing at each other like a couple of
Fat Prima Donas on the same Opera
bill.
Then Italy is ranting around
down there trying to pick up some
more country and outlet for their
population. France is watching
them with an Eagle eye all the time.
Hnd that's just what Mussolini wants.
ne had rather worry France than
anything, France feels that she
would have no trouble whipping
them, but il she went down there
to do it, Germany would take that
opportunity and get at them and
she just don't want to have to take
the chance. Then the Checko.
Slovakians feel kinda hemmed in
down their way, and of course the
Turks, there is nothing that inks g
Turk so much as peace.
Lots of pretty smart men think
that is one Of the biggest contribute
ing factors to our present state OF
economic unrest, is that all big
finance is afraid of what will happen
in the near future, and they don't
know where it will end up. That's
why everybody is hanging on to
what they got. There is more in
the wind than just our little local
condition over here. We got as
much as we ever had, there is just
as much money, as many to eat, and
as many to feed, as many to buy
But still our conditions are uncer.
tain. Why? Just because it's thing
outside our own land that is worry
ing EN-. They know that signs are
not right all over the World. Look
at South America. When during
our lifetime has there been as many
disturbances at one time? No Sir
the whole thing is world wide, we
are effected by it less than anyone.
If we keep our nose clean and
don't start yapping about somebody
