Welsh Music Festival

FISHGUARD, Wales.-August will
find 1000 Americans among 10000
visitors in this isolated little town Of
less than 5000 population, gathered
together for the Welsh National Els
tedfodd, or musical festival.
The problem of housing the expected
visitors is complicated, for there is
only one large hotel.
Transatlantic visitors may be
housed in the liner, which will re-
main at anchor inside the harbor
breakwater, and may be used as q
floating hotel.
Choral entries are expected to in
clude the a cappella from Columbus,
Ohio, and choirs from Ottawa and
Vancouver.
A party also is expected from Pitts
burgh, Pa, where there are many tin.
plate workers whose fathers emigrated
from the industrial towns of South

Naples City of Smells
As Well as Beauty

NAPLES, Italy.-Naples Is a pic
ture-postcard city of rare beauty.
Castles and villas crown the circular
heights of the bay, and Gaping it all
to the south stands Vesuvius with q
thick plume of white smoke pointing
to the direction of the prevailing wind.
From the blue Mediterranean the
city of Naples is beautiful: from the
crags of the overhanging hills and
mountains the Mediterranean Is beau
tiful. 1t is not until you wind through
the narrow streets, climbing hills and
skidding over slippery stones that you
become aware that what you had
thought from a distance was beauti-
full you now find to be bizarre, grotesque
and strangely fascinating.
Naples Is fascinating with the same
traits as Hongkong. Side streets.
with their domestic life lived In the
open. are as Asiatic as Hongkong
and quite as lively and vivid in their
attack upon sensitive nostrils.
Instead of a Chinese in loose
pantaloons selling strings of garlic
hanging over his shoulders 1t Is an
immense Latin woman, full skirted
and full bosomed, who Is striding
through the dingy street crying her
produce.
On the westsend streets of Hong
kong you will find blind musicians,
generally young girls, singing and
playing on strange instruments q
snatch of a Chinese opera. In Ma
piles it seems one cannot be a fair
representative of the musical art un-
less you are blind. One manager
has assembled five such and they are
standing beside a damp stone wall
Of q six-story house, four playing
violins and the fifth a bass viol.

Modern Medical City
Rising Near Stockholm

STOCKHOLM.-A complete med
ical CITY," which, 1t is claimed, will
be among the most modern Of its kind
in the world, is being constructed near
here by the Swedish government.
It will cost $l0,000,0 900 and will in
clude the latest hospital equipment as
developed in all parts Of the world.
The main building will be H-shaped,
with q roof for sun bathing, and will
be seven stories high. It will contain
operating theaters, lecture halls, wards
and laboratories.
In addition there will be children'a
hospital, building for psychiatric dis
eases, a rheumatism clinic, swimming
pool, foot ball grounds, tennis courts,
church, concert halls and homes for
staff doctors, students and nurses.
Plans for the project were originated
in 1881 and work on roads and ex-
cavations started In 1882. The founs

doubts that gun platforms and special
Notifications are being rapidly con-
structed by the German engineers.
Hitler does not mind what conclusions
are drawn from these preparations.
In fact, he is rather pleased that his
secret breaking of the Versailles treaty
is being known everywhere. The more
the French are worried the happier
Hitler Is.
Alliance Policy Revived.
And the French are worried. Try
ing to revive the pre-war policy of
alliances, they have sought the sup
port of the Soviets and of Great Brit
ain. The Soviets promptly signed
military alliance. But the British, de-
spite the military agreements reached
since last November, are inhospitable
to an adventure in Eastern Europe.
There is not the slightest doubt that
they would hasten to Frances aid
should she be attacked by Germany.
But it is doubtful even in the minds
of the French foreign Office whether
Great Britain would do more than
join a protest in the event Of a
German Russian embroglio. To the
British the Slavs appear dangerous
friends because they lack moderation
and sense of realities. They believe
themselves invested with divine mis-
sion. There is no relation between
what they want and what they can do.
Stain and his companions believe in
delivering the world proletariat from
the tyranny of the bourgeois. And the
British do not want to associate too
closely with such friends. France
without Britain's support is powerless.
The French have obtained definite
promise Of help in case their own
frontiers are threatened, a somewhat
evasive answer regarding the frontiers
OF their allies. And the truth is that
there Is not single general staff
officer in Paris who today believes that
the British would move their air force
or their navy in case Germany starts
her campaign against the Soviets.
Third Army Has Two Purposes.
The Sd German Army-two army
corps--is covering Italy and Austria.
1t serves q double purpose. 1t is ready
for any emergency should things
break again In Austria and 1t can
reinforce the lst or the I'd Army at a
moments notice.

from voting the Democratic ticket
and stay at home. Others, making
their detection count as much as
possible, will go all the way and vote
the Republican ticket.

Democratic vote, 1924 8,385,586
Democratic vote, 1928---l5 ,0l6,443
Democratic vote, 1922, ,82l 857
From this statement it is perfectly
clear that 1882 was an utterly abnor-
NAL Democratic year. Nearly every
body realizes it was abnormal, but
how extremely abnormal it was is only
understood when we look at the figures
for the four presidential elections. The
1882 Democratic vote was more than
twice what it was in 1920. The 1882
Democratic vote was almost three
times what it was in 1924. The 1882
Democratic vote was so per cent more
than it was in 1928.
The average Democratic vote for all
four of the presidential elections since
woman suffrage is 1892, 800. Now
let us make comparison:

in four elections ,S42 ,809

That comparison makes vivid how
abnormal the Democratic vote in 1899
was. Their vote in 1882 was an in
crease of so per cent over their aver.
age.
If the Democrats this year should
get only their average of four elec-
tions past they would be dismally
beaten. If they should get only the
highest vote they ever got before they
would be seriously beaten.

Rod But, boom or no boom, the
pinch is felt, and considerable voice
is given to feelings of British victims
of sanctions and countersanctions,
who cry out that, since Great Britain
is the only one who is rigidly inforcing
these trade barricades and the Ital-
ians are not being hurt by them (be-
cause the supposedly water-tight

Tries to Bar Oil, Sells Oil.
Great Britain is strictly in the right
on legal grounds in saying that it has
not let any one down on sanctions,
because it actually has cut off those
things which the League has directed
to be cut off from Italy. But there
are certain moral grounds in which
it has not really lived up to the spirit
of the League, and in which one part
of the government commercially has
been working against the other part
Great Britain owns SO per cent of

been engaged most actively in the

tions in operation, the British gov
ernment, through its commercial sub
sidiary, the Anglo-Iranian Oil Co. has

when it appeared that Italy and Great
Britain would be drawn into war
against each other, there was no ap-
parent cessation by the Anglo -Iranian
company in building up the potential
sinews of war of a probable enemy.
There appears to be some iustifica
ton for the British manufacturers,
jobbers and mine owners protesting
against a policy which hurts them
while their own -busi-

policy which serves to prolong the
war in Ethiopia and to prolong their

don asks Washington, commit the
same error in the event of a Japanese
aggression in the Southern Pacific
and the Indian Ocean?
Washington has been evasive in its
answers. There can be no military or
naval agreement with any foreign
country at the present moment. We
don't cross a bridge until we get to it.
But in London, at the naval confer
ence, there has been significant COL
laboration between Great Britain and
the United States.
The British yielded to the United
States on the question of 35,000-ton
battleships despite the repeated decla-
rations of the British naval authori-
ties early last year that battleships
must be reduced to $4,000 tons.
. We yielded to their demand for 20
more light cruisers. And both allowed
Japan to walk out Of the conference
rather than agree to paper parity"
between the three major naval pow
ers.

So4No u EA&N 44NA DASoVs
TINE statesmen of Europe who
have In their hands the fate
of nations have now moved the
u map of East Africa to less
conspicuous part of their walls and
replaced it with another.
1t is a huge map of Germany, with
its neighboring countries. The map of
Africa may come back into the lime
light, but for the time being the for
eign ministers of Europe believe that
the move which will shake the founda-
tions of world peace will come from
the Reich. 1t may seem strange to
some Americans that the same shift
of maps has taken place on Washing
ton walls.
= There are no pink, red and blue pins
on the new map as yet; merely heavy
lines and circles indicating the con-
centration of the new German Army,
and arrows indicating the eventual d.
rection of attack.
Is Germany on the warpath? Yes
and no. Germany is polishing her
arms. They will be used If her de-
mands for new territories are rejected.
They will be covered up again il her
demands are granted. Germany, even
more than Japan and Italy, is today a
militarized nation. Every German citi-
zen-man, woman and child-is being
drafted into the service of the Father
land. Sixty-five million people are
proudly doing the goose step.
All Germany's resources are being
used for military preparations.
Crops Best, But Food Lacking.
The German people lack today
bread, meat, fats and milk. Yet Ger
many has never, in recent years, had
better crops, more cattle, more pigs
and more milk cows than in the last
two years. Yet its inhabitants are fed
on "ersatz" (substitutes).
The real food is being slowed away
in huge storehouses, goes to the man
ufacturer Of military necessities, or is
being sold abroad to obtain foreign
exchange and raw materials. Propa-
ganda Minister Goebbels stated only
six weeks ago in an address to the
German people: "You have no food,
but you are happy. You have air
planes and tanks"
Hitler's Germany is staging q
renaissance sui generis-"r "reawakening
of its own kind in which literature,
music and painting are replaced by
military art, and naval and airplane
engineering.
It took Gen Won Blomberg only nine
months to increase the Reichswehr
force from 150, 900 men to no less than
$4,000.
And it took Gen. Goering less than
IA months to create an aviation force
of 400 planes-the finest in Europe.
This aviation, while numerically in
ferior to the French and the Russian,
has band-new types Of bombing and
scouting planes with subterranean
hangers and most up-to-date landing
fields.

corps are concentrated near the

The most powerful army, composed
of four army corps, Is distributed
along the Polish and the Czechoslovak
borders, toward Soviet Russia. The
new German navy Is being built with
an eye on the Baltic Sea. With the
exception of two battleShips of 10000
tons each and four 10,000-ton battle
cruisers, the new navy consists of
cruisers, torpedo boats and subma-
rines, all small in size, but very fast.
Hitler is now an outspoken man.
In his talks with the British and the
French ambassadors he does not con-
ceal the fact that Germany needs ex-
pansion for its bonus babies. Ger
many with its $4,000, 900 inhabitants
is sitting within the narrow confines
of the present Reich. What will hap
pen when the population increases to
100000 or more? Yes" said Hit
Ter, I'VE need more room, but we don't
want to expand outside Europe"
British Ignore Expansion Wish.
The French did not like Der Fueh-
rer's expression. The British were
less concerned. The cardinal policy
of London is the safety Of the empire,
and as long as Hitler does not threat
en- to invade the preserves of the en-
pire, as long as Britannia may con-
tinue to rule the waves safely. 1t is
of little consequence to the British
where Germany may wish to expand.
Hitler has made 1t an open secret
that there Is only one territory which
offers itself as a potential colony Tor
the babies of the Reich. This Is the
Ukraine, a part Of the Soviet empire,
rich In raw materials, with the most
fertile soil in Europe and Sparsely pop
ulated. The Ukraine Is the ultimate
goal Of the Reich's leaders. even
though at the present moment there
is no common boundary between Ger
many and that province OF the Soviets.
But at a not-distant future the
Anschluss with Austria will become an
accomplished fact, and Czechosio-
vakia, despite President Benes ana
the strong Francophile party, will fan
into the lap of the Reich like ripe
plum. And then there will be q COM
mon frontier with the Ukraine.
France Is bound by treaties OF al
lance with Russia and the Little En-
tente. France is still, iiominaliy. the
protector of Central Europe. But Hit
ier does not worry about Marianne.
Fuehrer Sounded Out.
Only a month ago the French and
british Ambassadors called ON the
Reichsfuehrer to sound him out, for
the third time within q year. about
a non-aggression pact. "The Reich" !"
Hitler replied, sis ready to enter into
an agreement to respect the present
French frontiers. Alsace and Lor-
raine have been forgotten. But a
sincere aggression pact cannot
he signed unless France Is ready to
drop her Eastern allies. especially
Soviet Russia, Until that happens
Germany cannot bind herself to any
