France and Italy Get Together.

AT the very moment Premier Mus
solini is mysteriously warning the
Italian people to "be ready for any
eventuality," and summoning the gen.
erals of his army to confer with him
in Rome this week. comes categorical
news that the menace of Hitlerism
has spurred France and Italy to bury
their differences and enter into an
agreement to cooperate in behalf of
their mutual European interests and
for the preservation of peace. Nothing
in the form of pact has yet been
sealed, but at Geneva. where the Old
World powers are again assembled to
give the patchwork League Of Nations
semblance of solidity and continued
usefulness, it is accepted as Substan-
tial fact that France and Italy are
about to reach an accord of immense
and immediate significance.
Both the French and the Italians
find an incentive to an entente in the
persisting peril of Na1 Germany's
ambitions beyond its present borders.
Apparently neither Paris nor Rome
places faith in Herr Hitler's repeated
affirmation that when the Saar ques-
ton is settled by plebiscite in January
Germanys score with France will be
definitely liquidated. Nor are France
and Italy convinced of the purity of
the Fuehrer's intentions respecting
Austria. Both western powers have
come to see eye to eye as to the mad
visibility of permitting the Germans
to re-arm, and Premier Mussohni is
credited with having virtually aban-
doned his earlier pro-German lean
ings in favor of revising the Versailles
treaty.
The projected Franco Italian get
together would furthermore provide
for the reconciliation of the naval
parity issue between the two coun-
tries on some basis of mutual accom-
modation, thus removing bitter cause
of contention. And presumably they
would not bury the hatchet without
some understanding about the North
African colonial domain, which has
hitherto been regarded as the likeliest
cause of a possible Franco Italian
conflict. Presumably, too, any far
reaching arrangements effected by
France with Italy would comprehend
the Little Entente nations-Czecho-
slovakia, Rumania and Yugoslavia-i
which are bound to the French by ties
of alliance and share with them and
the Italians the desire to keep the
Nal Reich penned within its present
confines
There are many bridges to cross
and corners to be rounded before the
innumerable issues at stake in
Franco Italian relations can be solved,
but if they prove adjustable and the
two great Latin nations substitute
friendship for existing rancor, sus-
picion and hostility, European peace
will be placed on the soundest foun-
dation it has known since the World
War. If it should turn out that Hit
lerism was the inspiration for such
development, the Nazis will seem
almost like a blessing in disguise.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHIIANDER JOHNSON.

can't tell what it is that makes
A Sunday seem so different.
This old world looks up and forsakes
The sordid way on which twas bent
For six long days. The sky is blue,
The air is crystal clear and sweet
And hope looks up and smiles anew
With promise, silent-yet complete.
I know the hours are just the same
AS We have on other days;
I know the twilight's golden frame
Is but the suns familiar rays;
The clock ticks on with sullen pace,
Till shadows gather in the west.
'Tis but days we'll measured space
And yet it's different from the rest.
