Observation-Disclosures border" suspect
ing that Japan plans to seize control
of the Chinese-Eastern Railway. Rus
STA offered to sell her interest for two
hundred millions gold Japan, through
Manchukuo's pseudo-government Of
fered twenty-five millions.
If trouble comes between Japan and
Russia, this country presumably will
keep out except for 4rotherly inter-
est, and selling goods.
You read that the Russian army is
equipped with tanks, both large and
small, scout and bombing planes, heavy
and light artillery and chemical

Religious questions continue to agi-
tate Germany. Baron Won Schirach,

That sets good example to Europe.
There, when different nationalities
come close together they are usually
squatting in trenches, blowing each
others heads off.
Mexico, the United States and Cana
da, ruling all of this continent. from
the North Pole to the southern side of
the Panama Canal should work and
cooperate in brotherly fashion, in a
genuine league Of American nations"
setting good example to the rest Of
the world.
To develop United States trade with
South America, this country may offer
special inducements to Argentina,
Chile and Mexico wine growers. Plans
are made to popularize the wines here,
but it is almost as difficult to change
fashions in wine as in Dress.
For long time the Romans would

in Gaul aristocratic Romans would

Gauls in their wanderings settled in
