Federal Trade Commission has
come to the aid of the Civil Service
Commission in supporting the lat
ter agency's fight against so-called
civil service" schools, operating
in various parts Of the country
with misleading statements as to
their ability to place students in
Government positions.
A school in Detroit, recent scene
of an employee convention, has
been charged by Federal Trade
Commission with unfair methods
Of competition" due to misrepre-
sensations in advertising, and has
been given until october 80 to
show cause why it should not be
ordered to cease and desist" from
such practices.
Among mix representations made,
it is alleged, are statements that
civil service tests will be made in
the near future for certain jobs
when the Civil Service Commission
itself has made no announcement.
Also the school is charged with
guaranteeing that students will re-
ceive Federal posts If they pursue
the schools courses, and that the
school misrepresents the number
Of appointments made, salaries,
leave privileges and other benefits
in the Government service.
The heaviest charge, however, Is
that the school has allegedly rep
resented itself as actually affili-
ated with the United States Gov
eminent, using picture Of the
Capitol, or its dome, on printed
matter
The Civil Service Commission
has carried on a fight against
schools using false representations
for years. Last May it issued a
warning throughout the country,
and at the same time made it clear
that the business schools dealing
with civil service preparatory work
in Washington have never drawn
official frowns via cleverly worded
"corne on" advertising.

The fall Of Madrid will not termi-
nate the Spanish troubles. There will
be Catalonia, the Asturias, the Basque
territory and the region of Valencia
to be conquered. These are hot beds
of communism, and Francois Moors
will have a difficult time bringing
them under the control of the junta.
The Moscow government, aware Of
the danger of being attacked by the
Germans in the more or less near fu-
ture. is determined to bring show
down on the Spanish question. The
Moscow leaders believe that II the
next war is going to be fought on the
basis Of conflicting political philoso-
phies, there can pe no better time
than now, when the Spanish civil war
is being fought because Of these con-
fiicting principles. And the attitude Of
Moscow toward the neutrality agree
ment concerning the Spanish civil war
is. in the opinion Of European diplo-
mats, clear indication that the Sow
cts want to lance the abcess before it
bursts. Although chronologically, the
Russian decision to bolt the neutrality
pact antedates the German Italian
agreement, in fact, it is considered an
answer to the Moussolini- Hitler an
nouncement
Everybody in Europe has known, for
many months, that the authoritarian
states were supplying the junta with
war materials, airplanes and pilots
1t was equally an open secret that
the French and the Russians were
rushing arms and ammunition to
the so-called loyalist government in
Madrid. 1t was done right under the
eyes, and with the consent, of the gov
ernments which had signed the neu-
trality agreement last August. The
unexpected thou" atti-
tude of the Moscow rulers at first sur
prised the other foreign offices. But
upon close scrutiny it was discovered
in London that the action of the Soviet
leaders was due exclusively to their
desire to bring into the open the clash
between fascism and communism at
time when France and Great Britain
appeared concerned over the rapid
strides Of German-Italian militarism.
Attempt Doomed to Failure.
The Russian attempt to embroil
the democratic states in the Spanish
affair is, according to diplomatic OBJ
servers in London, doomed to failure

Moscow wanted to play. And France,
Russia's ally, became scared. Blum

sentries scrutiniZe carefully all who

and villages. The new roads and
railways can carry hundreds of
thousands Of men to whatever part
g Italy they will be needed.
There are no obsolete tanks or air
planes or war vessels in the italian
fighting forces. Furthermore, on the
eve Of the signature of the German
italian agreement, Mussolini an
nounced q formidable naval and mill
tary program. Fifty-two new war
ships will be put on the slips in the
Italian navy yards in the course of
this year. They will be completed
in record time-in less than 10
months. The airplane factories have
been placed on a 60-hour-a-week
schedule. Factories which heretofore
have been producing peacetime goods
for the home and for foreign markets
will henceforth produce war materials.
Ploughshares are being beaten into
swords. Chemical factories are pro-
ducing poison gas: automobile plants
are delivering tanks. airplanes and
motors. The appetite of the Italian
people Is being curbed in order that
they may stow away food for the days
when it may not be easily obtainable.
Make Materials for War.
The same thing is happening in
Germany. For the last two years the
Reich has been o huge arms factory.
The German standing army, by the
end of this year, will reach the same
figure as the italian Army. The Ger
man factories have been placed on a
super-war production schedule. Raw
materials necessary for the manufac-
ture of arms and ammunition are
being purchased abroad in large guam
titles. The German exporters are
handing over to the government every
cent Of foreign currency they obtain
from the export trade. A practically
inexhaustible stock of arms and am
munition is being laid by for the day.
The martial spirit in Germany today
was unequalled even in the heydey
Of Kaiserism. The formidable propa-
ganda machinery Of the government
need no longer be used to inflame the
jingoism of the nation for q war
against "the Russian brute" The
mysticism of fighting for an ideal
to crush Communism-is strengthened
by the conviction of every German
that a war against Russia cannot but
end with a decisive and quick victory.
The formidable military machinery
Of Germany and Italy reduces the
possibility of complications with other
nations, which are beginning only now
to perfect their military preparations.
And the reason why Hitler and Musso-
lini decided to choose this moment to
make public their close cooperation Is
that the Spanish conflict is entering

Russian government must remain an
outlaw, to be destroyed at the con-
venience of the Reich.
Thus the central powers now have
placed on record substantially what
Hitler said last August, unofhcially,
to Sir Robert Vansitart, Great Brit
aims permanent undersecretary of
state. that Germany is willing to en-
ter into any non-aggression pacts with
her western neighbors; that she is
willing to give every conceivable
guaranty that she will not attack
France, provided the western ally Of
Russia does not interfere with the
Reich's plan for destroying commu-
nism at its source. Germany must
not be interfered with when the time
comes to settle her score with Mos
cow" said Der Reichsfuehrer, with
brutal candor. to the somewhat as
tonished British diplomat.
The significance of the German
Italian agreement cannot be over
emphasized, especially at the present
moment, when the battle between
communism and fascism-naziism is
taking such concrete shape. It is
especially Of paramount importance

began examining the Franco-Russian
treaty with a microscope and they
discovered more loopholes in that
document than Blum needed in order
to maintain Frances neutrality.
Hence, the statement Of Frances for

in the event of an aggression against
