should the powder keg of war explode in Europe all else save
Americas attitude for the duration of that war would fade in
to comparative insignihcance.
True, we have heard much of the powder key, and it's never
gone off But unless all the major prophets are wrong, war will
strike within four years, while Roosevelt is still in the White
House. ST.
There is much talk that the President, with his new and ov-
erwhelming mandate of confidence, win be a strong force for
peace IN the world. Dictators, they say, are pushing, around the
leaders oil the two other big demoeraees, France and England,
because the dietators have their people solidly behind them.
There is talk of a Roosevelt move taking the form of an inter-
national conference to check the ornaments race, and to pledge
the boycotting of any aggressor in war.
Tt will be for the President to judge how far America
should and wants to go in international cooperation. But If war
breaks, his task of keeping US out of 1T will be the biggest job
any man ever faced.

Amicable settlement of the jurisdic-

ters and union iron workers that held
up construction of the $4,000 OOC
sewage disposal plant at Blue Plains
was announced today by Capt. r. E.
York, Assistant Engineer Commits

The dispute arose over construction
OF conveyor. Three such machines
are required in the plant. The first
was constructed by the carpenters but
before they could begin work on the
second the iron workers claimed the
Job as within their province.
When the carpenters refused to
yield, all union men were called of
the construction job.
Only s700 in wages was involved in
the second conveyor job, but both
unions insisted on doing the work.
The third job involved 81 900 in wages.
Col. Dan I. Sultan, Engineer Com
missioner, called the warning factions
together and finally got them to agree
on arbitration. The settlement gives
one job to the carpenters and the
