In the background of all this
stands the grim figure of Soviet
Russia. One thing is certain about
the Soviet Union. The Reds want
peace. But they are tied in with
France in a military alliance and
if war comes to Europe, Russia
will be in it to her neck.
THE Soviets have two armies, a
l. Western and an Eastern
army. The Eastern army is sta
toned in the Far East to fend
off any trouble with Japan. But
the Western army is in charge Of
two crack Jewish generals, and
if war against the Nazis did come,
you can just picture the situation.
1t probably would be more than a
war to those generals.
It actually needs master mind
to untangle Europe from it's knots
and where the master-mind is
nobody seems to have any idea.
One thing alone is certain. 1t
looks like war and the United
States is trying to keep out Of it.
Will we keep out of it? We
have better than a $3.50 chance
of keeping our hands clean.
Ethiopia seems a long way off for
Indianapolis to worry about, but
France was a long way off in

president ROOSEVELT is

He informed Emperor Halle Sell

convinced Rome would not try to
invade Ethiopia and then, on the
other side, had the State Depart

to evacuate Abyssinia.
The League of Nations is pow
erless and the approach of Sep

Lacking the United States as a

The sidelines is a great place to

A DOLF HITLER is simply Sit
L n ting back, praying for time,
and he, of the whole pack, seems
to be the only logical winner Of
the mad merry go round.
With Mussolini tied up in
Abyssinia, with Russia worrying
about Japan, and with France
and England at loggerheads, it
may turn out to be Hitler's day
with Austria and Memel forcibly
becoming part of the Reich.
How it all will turn out, OF
course, is something even a seer
wouldn't hazard a guess upon.
On the surface it's all quite
simple. Mussolini feels that he
was cheated in the war spoils. He
has built himself a magnificent
modern army and he is going
after Abyssinia. If France and
England won't help that's sim
plv too bad; they can worry about
the Nazis on their own hook.
II NGLAND wants Italy within
T. the fold to keep Hitler in
check. But, at the same time,
control of Abyssinia means con-
troll of the Nile. The Nile is the
life stream of Britain's African
colonies. To let II Duce have
Abyssinia is taking a grave risk.
AS far as Germany is concerned,
London contends it is taking a
realistic" viewpoint and is will
ing to talk cold turkey.
France by this time is definite
ly tied in tight with Italy. If Mus
solini wants Ethiopia he can have
it with the blessings of Paris.
But, deathly afraid of Hitler's
Nazis, France refuses to accept
Englands realism" argument and
sees herself as double-c crossed.

A survey of the current stamp

rather widely rumored report.
Postmaster General James A.
Farley is offering the public more
and better-looking stamps than
did his predecessors in Office.
Automatically, here's the dope:
There are available some IS vari-
eties. They range in price from
half a cent to IS. If you should
step up to the stamp window and
say, MY good fellow, give me the

your total bill would be $12.19.

The Fox Opens
Circus Show

Today is a red letter day for
Capital kiddies and their elders,
says Lew Brown. For the widely
heralded indoor family circus
comes to the stage Of Loew's Fox
Theater.
The calliope is ready to thun-
der it's music across the Fox audi
torium, the interior Of the theater
gives every indication of the "big
top" and the ringmaster, Will Hill,
will crack his big whip for "the
most colossal circus Washington
has ever witnessed in a motion-pic-
ture house"
Just imagine, if you can, three
huge elephants walking up the
Fox aisle right onto the stage and
then offering some novel tricks
that these pachydermS have de-
lighted thousands of circus fans
with.
Then there will be Martin and
Martin, pair of sensational aerial
lists; the Great Yacobis, in thrill
ing feats; Schlictls provocative
marionettes; Al Loyal's dog and
pony show; Picard's virtually hui
man seal; a horde of clowns; and,
in fact, everything that you'll find
in any modern outdoor circus.
1t is described as the ideal
Christmas entertainment gift for
the kiddies. The adults will find
the ingredients that comprise this
unusual stage entertainment eX-
tremely diverting.
In addition to the circus, the
