ers living on both sides from one end
to the other were named for him,
there would be many "Will Rogers
highways.
Thus run the headlines:
"ITALY BARS ALL PEACE TALK"
BRITAIN WEIGHS SANCTIONS.
WANTS TO KNOW OUR POLICY"
If she wants to know the policy Of
30 out of a 100 ordinary Americans,
and 100 per cent of all common sense
Americans. it would be this:
To mind our OWE business; let Eu-
ropean nations, alternately numbering
each other and robbing inferior ma
tions, attend to their business, in their
way.
Our policy now, with Italy swallow
ing Ethiopia, should be exactly what
it was when our British friends were
busy swallowing the lands of the Beers.
absorbing that country with its valu.
able gold and diamond mines. We did
nothing then. Why should we invent
a special policy for Mussolini now?
France and England "fear Mussolini
may involve three continents in the
Ethiopian war" Has Europe heard of
the New England farmer who said:
I'm on my way to town to get. drunk,
and Lord, how I dread it." lie need
not have gone to town. European ma
tions need not be dragged into a tri-
continental war if they don't want to
be dragged.
A very old poker player of the New
York Press club, when he raised the
pot" remarked usually: "The only
way to discourage vice is to make It
expensive" That idea seems to be
working in Germany. Doctor Schacht,
head of the great German bank. lead
ing f%inancier of the Reich, warns Ger
many that Nazi individuals INDUCING
themselves in the pleasure of treating
defenseless Jews brutally, are endan-
gering Germans prosperity. Such wan
ton brutality constitutes a great
to German trade everywhere, according
to Doctor Schacht, who knows.
Republicans report greatly increased
demand for the nomination of Senator
BOrah, since the announcement that,
If nominated, he will run. This will
be mournful news for some Repub-
lican corporation-best minds, for.
whether they have to be Flashed with
scorpions" or with something else,
would make little difference to some Of
them who consider Senator Borah dis
tinctly in the scorpion" class.
An old gentleman Of eighty-one
strolled into a New York police sta
ton. remarking: II have just walked
from Kansas City and shall walk back
again tonight" He was removed to a
p~sychopathic ward. If he had substi-
tuted the verb fly" for walk" the
police would not have disturbed him,
for he could have flown in from Kan
sas City during the day very easily and
flown back again at night. If, %
years ago he had said, II just flew in
from Kansas City," he would have
been sent to the dangerous ward.
So there is progress.
At Sverdlovsk. Russian government
engineers, digging sewers under the
city, find gold ore that indicates a
rich gold field underlying the town.
The government owns practically all
the city. and can easily take the rest,
and a further increase in Russia's
gold production, already more than
three times as great as that of the
United States, may be expected.
Those that believe in the wicked
ness of Russia may ask:
"Why does Providence allow such
wicked people to find so much gold?"
One answer is, "The quickest way
to make them stop their %wickedness
is to make them rich, and gold would
do that" Gold might not change rhe
existing government of Russia. But
another generation will see another
kind Of government, and ownership of
such a lump of gold, as we possess,
might make that next Russian govern
ment consider Lenin and Stain "old
fashioned" H.
Providence works mysteriously.
