that Messrs. Mussolini and Selassie

DEMOCRACY MAY GUIDE US
THROUGH WAR CRISIS
(By BRUCE CATION

Probably the most futile task anyone
could undertake right now would be to try
to fix the blame for the spread of the war
peril in Europe.
The effort is being made, of course. Any
left-wing publiciSt can tell you that II the
wicked German and Italian Fascists would
only keep from interfering in the Spanish
revolt the danger of war would immedi-
ately dwindle.
Similarly, any staunch right-winger can
point out that the situation has been made
infinitely more tense by red RuSsia's an
nounced intention to help the left-wlng
Spaniards with money and munitions.
But to say, because of these things, that
war (if it comes) will be the fault of
Hitler. Mussolini, or Stain is to miss the
point entirely.
That, indeed, is the dismaying part of
the whole sorry business-the fact that it
is impossible to find personal devil in the
situation.
What Europe is up against is nothing
less than a clash between two opposing,
site schemes for the ordering of human So
ciety.
A clash of that kind can hardly be re-
solved by soft words or conciliatory ges-
lures
What is biting the statesmen in Rome,
Berlin, and Moscow seems to be realiza-
ton that the continent of Europe will not,
in the long run, be large enough to con-
tain both Communist and Fascist nations.
In the very nature of things they cannot
exist side by side.
That is why none of these three capitals
can sit quietly on the sidelines while con-
servatives and radicals fight it out to see
who is to rule Spain. They dare not let the
Spaniards decide for themselves. The ques-
ton ties in too closely with their own fu-
ture.
So we are likely to have more, rather
than fewer, angry words and defiant ges-
lures passing among the rival powers
across the tormented body of Spain. If the
world has just little bad luck these ges-
lures will turn into war. For the conflict
from which they arise is irrepressible.
Does that mean, then, that Europe Is
doomed to a bloody, last-ditch war, sooner
or later, in spite of all that men can do to
prevent it?
1t would, but for the savin gfact that de-
mocracy still holds the balance of power.
Great nations such as France and England,
and smaller ones, such as the Scandinavian
countries, have not admitted that the race
must choose between two dictatorial forms
of government.
They are still trying to work out then
problems in the way of peace and freedom
and, at last accounts, were having pref
ty good luck at it.
Democracy is not threat 1t can be
goodenighbor. 1t can live by coneiliatioi
rather than by the sword. -.
If Europe gets through its present crlsl
without war, it will be because the democ
racies willed it so-and, willing it, retained
enough of a hold on the imaginatlons o
men to make their will good.
